This is his fifth visit to Japan; he previously gave lectures at the Institute of Comparative Law, Waseda University in 2023 and 2025. In this lecture, using the theory and case law of Article 24 of the German Criminal Code as a starting point, Professor Greco will examine the following fundamental issues in criminal law theory: to what extent must a perpetrator\u2019s actions be carried out before they can be deemed to have \u201cprevented\u201d the completion of an offence, and how should we approach cases where the failure to complete the offence was due to chance? This lecture is expected to be a valuable opportunity for students, faculty and staff, and criminal law researchers to engage with a core issue of criminal law theory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6There is no advance registration.
