The Acts of Aiding in Compare with German Law
Abstract
A crime can only be committed by the perpetrator. But besides the perpetrator can participate in a crime and also be found criminally responsible. Participation can include acts such as making the decision to commit the crime, giving a pistol to another person for the commission of a crime, and keeping watch while a crime takes place. Someone who provides support during or for the commission of a crime is not responsible as a perpetrator, but is responsible as a solicitor, aider, or inciter, depending on the actions of the perpetrator.
Criminal liability for aiders and inciters is regulated under the title “Participation in Crime” in the Turkish Criminal Code. The regulation for aiders is formulated in Article 39, under the title of “Aiding.” This regulation determines the acts that can be considered aiding. This regulation identifies the acts of aiding as limited and serial. These acts include the following: soliciting a person for commission of a crime, supporting a person’s decision to commit a crime, guaranteeing help to someone after commission of a crime, providing ideas about how the crime should be committed, supplying the necessary tools to be used during commission of a crime, or rendering support before and during the commission of a crime in order to simplify the intended act. In this essay, we analyse only the acts of aiding in a crime.
