Abstract

The article "Doing or Omitting as Criteria for Prosecution" discusses the legal assessment of actions and omissions in the medical field. It emphasizes that the legal evaluation of the behavior of doctors and nursing staff depends on whether it is interpreted as active action or as omission. Active action is generally considered more punishable in criminal law than inaction. In cases of ambiguous behavior, the aspect of omission is often relied upon when the perpetrator cannot be punished due to their actions. The article emphasizes the importance of this distinction for the defense of medical and nursing personnel in alleged treatment or care errors. [Extracted from the article]
