Appendix Supplementary Case Law / 641

We have integrated the texts, theories, case law, and past exam questions into a single textbook.

First, Shingwang would like to express its sincere gratitude to the many test takers for their love and unstinting support, which has made the basic book Criminal Law (Specific Theory) truly the best textbook for the exam.

To repay the affection of test takers and live up to their expectations, we have included all the essential and crucial surveys and case law that are essential for accurate understanding and memorization, and to serve as a foundation for test takers' success as a helper who does not disgrace their expectations.

- Key features of "Shingwang's Basic Book of Criminal Law (Specific Theory)"

1. Fully reflecting revised laws and regulations in accordance with changes in examination trends.
We have reflected all recent revisions to the criminal law, removed unnecessary content, and included changed or added content.
In addition, as the recent exam trend has been to ask more questions about legal provisions and rules, we have reflected not only revised criminal law laws and rules, but also previously tested legal provisions and rules, and even important laws and regulations that may be tested, so that you can sufficiently prepare without having to look at the laws separately.

2. Perfect reflection of the most recent past questions from the previous series
We have strived to make this a suitable textbook for test takers preparing for future exams by perfectly reflecting the existing questions for police recruitment and promotions before the reorganization, as well as the questions for court positions, prosecutorial positions, correctional positions, and protective positions.

3. Perfect reflection of the latest case law and previously published case law
We have included all the case law that appeared in the exams of all series, including the most recent exam, the latest case law that has been changed or added this year, and even case law that is likely to appear on the exam, so that you can sufficiently prepare for the exam with just the basic book without having to use a separate case law book.

4. Identify exam trends and improve problem-solving skills by displaying icons for past exam questions and important surveys.
Key passages, important questions, and keywords are marked as tips, and passages and keywords that are easy to fall into are marked as cautions, etc., so that you can see at a glance where the important parts and parts that are easy to make mistakes are, allowing you to understand the test trends and increase your adaptability to the problems.

5. By emphasizing the core content of the textbook, learning effectiveness is improved and the problem of time constraints is solved.
Important content that must be seen is highlighted in color, and the next most important content is bolded to help you check the importance of the textbook content and grasp all the key points just by looking at the highlighted content.

- Upgrade of the "2026 Shin Gwang-eun Criminal Law (Specific Theory)"
To help you get closer to passing the exam in the shortest possible time using the textbook, we have made the following improvements.

1 Appendix - Learning by Difficulty Level through Supplementary Case Laws
Cases with a high level of difficulty or a low probability of appearing on the exam are provided as optional study materials through the 'Appendix - Supplementary Cases', allowing students to study at a level of difficulty appropriate to their abilities.

2 Add underline to the incorrect part of the note
We have clearly identified which parts of the previous exam questions are incorrect from the beginning and have added underlining to the incorrect parts so that you can grasp the key points in the shortest possible time.

3. Saving space by using abbreviations for previous exam questions
We have summarized long sentences concisely to make it easier to understand multiple sentences at a glance.

- In closing

Since the author emphasizes the study method of "Singwang Eun Criminal Law (General Theory)" through "single-volume textbooks," this time as well, I have tried to include all the essential and important content for the exam, such as key case laws and important questionnaires, without leaving out any other content, so that you can sufficiently prepare for the exam with just this one textbook without having to refer to a separate case law or problem book.

Meanwhile, Shingwang would like to express his sincere gratitude to the many examinees who have generously provided support and advice prior to the publication of this criminal law textbook. He hopes that this book will help examinees achieve perfect scores in criminal law.

I also hope that you will not lose your health despite the difficult times of preparing for the exam, and that you will be able to achieve your dream of becoming a conscientious and capable civil servant.

Bravo your life!!
Editor Shin Gwang-eun
