This article examines the criminal legal views of one of the founders of the classical school of criminal law, Paul Johann Anselm Feuerbach, on the institution of joint commission of a crime. The ideas of Professor Feuerbach formed the basis of the Russian classical school of criminal law, predetermining for many years the approaches of Russian researchers to the issues of criminal liability, imputation, corpus delicti, goals and objectives of punishment, and, accordingly, to the institution of joint commission of a crime, as one of the most complex, contradictory and confusing. The different way in which the reasons or motives of an active criminal are linked allows us to consider him either an amateur culprit, an amateur culprit, or an indirect culprit (assistant). And if active causes give rise to the main culprits and main assistants, then secondary causes, understood today as necessary conditions, contribute to the identification of ordinary assistants in the commission of a crime. In general, P. I. A. Feuerbach calls the participation of several persons in the commission of the same crime complicity or copulation of criminals. At the same time, the author identifies, practically in a modern interpretation, simple and complex complicity, which involves the joint activity of co-performers, in the first case, and performers and other complex figures of complicity, in the second. P. I. A. Feuerbach also highlights the involvement in crime, which he calls favor. The authors believe that the researcher took a comprehensive and systematic approach to the issues of joint crime, defining and formulating basic provisions in the general part of his main work, and individual types in the special part.
