RT Article T1 The establishment of the Absichtsdelikte model of criminal law for controlling terrorist crimes: The case of China JF International journal of law, crime and justice VO 60 A1 Jian, Kunyi A1 Nai, Peng A1 Yang, Guang A1 Yu, Tao A2 Nai, Peng A2 Yang, Guang A2 Yu, Tao LA English YR 2020 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1692346091 AB Under the influence of religious extremism, terrorists in China have used crime and violence as a means of creating terror and spreading panic in order to achieve the goal of splitting China. While criminal law could be an effective instrument for fighting against terrorism, the essential characteristics of terrorism in China require a reconstruction of the criminal legal system around the Absichtsdelikte model by introducing terrorist motivation into the constitutive elements of terrorist crimes. This article argues that this rather innovative legislative model can help to align the crime with the punishment in the field of counter-terrorism legislation and would be helpful for crime prevention as well.
