Criminal Contribution In Iraqi And Egyptian Law

Abstract

Criminal contribution involves a great diversity of roles and contributions that individuals can make in the course of committing a crime. This diversity of roles can lead to differences in how important the contribution is and how much impact it can have on the crime. In many legal systems, criminal contributors are treated based on the degree of their contribution to the crime. Therefore, this disparity in the level of contribution could have an echo in the provisions of the law. Criminal contribution is included in the material acts constituting the crime that occurred if several people contributed an original role in the crime. This form is called the original criminal contribution. Criminal contribution may also be achieved by the person’s contribution to the crime. He plays the crime in a secondary role, making him merely an accomplice in committing it.
