Özet:

The coercion is sanctioned in different ways in the Criminal Code. Those offenses are not compiled in a single section. This purely external circumstance already shows that the perpetrator uses a wide variety of legal interests as targets for his attacks. In this context the coercion can be used against the person or property. Because of this diverse use of the term in criminal code, it is important to determine the scope of the term coercion. The subject of this article is the term of coercion, a fundamental problem of criminal law, which has lost none of its actuality. From a comparative perspective, taking into account German, Turkish, Austrian and Swiss criminal law, both the development of the term of coercion in jurisprudence and the perceptions in the literature are analyzed. In this context, decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany and the Federal Court of Justice of Germany are particularly taken into account. The Article ends with its own definition of the coercion.
