Description
Summary:Within the criminal scope, scientific literature acknowledges two basic criminal forms, according to the rules and precepts they comprise. Thus, action-type forms (commission) are the ones that in their content express a prohibition that runs short when the mentioned action takes place. Omission criminal types are the ones that integrate a precept whose violation happens when a given behavior prescribed by the criminal legislation does not take place. Beginning with this distinction, this paper intends to trace down the theories on omission that several authors, like Feuerbach and Radbruch among others, have put forward and on omission as a criminally relevant behavior. In this way, the paper will settle out the issue of omission in the contemporary theory of crime, proposed by Muñoz Conde. The importance of studying why Criminal Law is concerned in omission resides in the implementation by the different judicial bodies.
