The harm that are occurred by active conduct may be also brought out by
passive conduct, omission, of those who have legal duty to act. In some cases,
these two forms of conduct exist simultaneously. This is the case where a mother
leaves her newborn to a secluded place and the baby dies or the physician shuts
off the reanimator and the patient dies. Both mother and physician have a legal
duty to act and both performed the active conduct as well. In such cases, two
forms of conduct are come into being and lead to death. Consequently, the
question on which form of conduct criminal liability should be based upon
arises. That is to say, mother or physician should be punished due to the killing
by commission or omission remains debatable. For such cases, various criteria
have been applied by the case law and doctrine of German criminal law. In this
study, these are put across by classifying as “reality” and “assessment”
theories.
The main approach of this study is not only relying on reality for the
solution; but after the retaining of the reality, it is necessary to make an
assessment, which refers to the interpretation of norms. Because, in such cases,
both forms of conduct stand at an equal distance to the norms. Starting from this
point of view, the uniformity of conduct, the coexistence of recklessness crimes
with omission, the relationship of the previous and the next action with the
preexisting dangerous behavior and the crime of abandonment are discussed.
All of our analysis has shown that a single criterion to be developed
cannot solve the cases in which both forms of conduct occur, and that the
solution can be put forward according to the background of the case. Because,
each of these cases contains various issues of the crime theory. Only these issues
remain in the background when two forms of conduct as commission and
omission appears in the natural sense.
