Preface

With the publication of “Shingwang’s Criminal Law General Theory, True or False Choice”...


We would like to express our gratitude to the many test takers who have shown their support and expectation for the publication of “Shingwang’s Criminal Law General Theory: True or False Choice” with their excessive affection and unstinting interest.

I think that the OX multiple-choice study method can solve the problem of studying through 4-option multiple-choice questions that can easily become studying to find the answer or studying to get used to it, by allowing you to carefully check and accurately study all the previous questions, including theories, doctrines, and case laws, one by one for each passage. It can also be an effective solution for test takers who do not get good grades even though they have solved a lot of previous questions.

I would like to assure you that the author has personally solved the past exam questions included in this book from beginning to end, analyzed and restructured the questionnaire, and added appropriate explanations. This has taken considerable time and effort to maximize learning effectiveness.

The main features of this book are as follows:

① Includes all previous criminal law exam questions from the past 15 years (2011-2025)

This textbook includes all the past questions from the police recruitment, promotion, and officer positions, coast guard recruitment, promotion, and officer positions, court positions, national positions, bar exam, court administration exam, and police academy transfer exam, including the recent March 2025 1st and April 2025 National Civil Service Examinations, as well as all the past questions from criminal law that were given over the past 15 years (2011-2025), so that you can sufficiently prepare for all series of exams.
*Some problems from before 2011 that may still be on the exam are included.

② Understand the exam trends through the latest past exam questions and prepare perfectly for expected questions.

By analyzing the latest exam questions from previous series, we were able to accurately grasp not only future exam trends but also past exam trends, and boldly eliminated questions with a low probability of being on the exam. In addition, we added multiple-choice questions to existing exam questions that have not yet been tested but have the potential to be tested.

③ Commentary that provides practical help in taking the exam

All questions, including correct answers, are provided with explanations, and each question includes appropriate [Tips] and [Acronyms] that can help with the exam, allowing you to study in a way that directly improves your score.

④ Conquering past exam questions through [Confirmation], [Comparison], and [Specific Theory] problems

In addition to the representative problems, we have classified surveys that are similar to the representative problems but have different expressions as [Confirm], surveys that seem similar but have different conclusions as [Compare], and surveys that are specific questions but are effective when solved together in the general theory as [Specific] so that you can accurately understand and solve past questions.

⑤ Composition of explanation directly related to the problem

Based on the Naver Cafe vote, Shingwang has directly reflected the opinions of many test takers and rearranged the existing left-page problem and right-page explanation structure to place the explanation right below the problem, enabling fast and efficient learning.

⑥ A must-read book that will help you achieve a high score and pass the criminal law exam.

This textbook is structured as follows to help you completely cover all the contents of the General Criminal Law in a single workbook in the shortest possible time and achieve the best results.
1) We have carefully considered the order of the past questions and even the specific expressions to help you systematically understand the content to be learned and improve your skills in the shortest possible time.

2) You can study the core theories for each topic first and then study related case law.
3) In addition to providing detailed explanations of important issues, we have summarized and organized reference points related to the survey, and highlighted in bold the parts that need to be checked and memorized through the questions, allowing test takers to study more quickly and effectively using limited time.

⑦ Conquer the latest, best, and most advanced criminal law exam questions in one volume

This textbook not only includes all previous exam questions from all series, but also offers meticulous attention to detail, including rich explanations, organization, and keyword emphasis, to help test-takers achieve the best results in the shortest possible time.
Additionally, we excluded or changed questions that did not significantly match recent laws and test trends, and corrected errors found in various textbooks.
Therefore, I dare say that this is the most optimized textbook for students studying criminal law, a textbook that includes the latest content, and the best criminal law OX past exam question book that will help students pass the exam faster.

I sincerely hope that this book will help all test takers achieve high scores and pass the Criminal Law exam. I also sincerely hope that you will take care of your health during the difficult exam period.

Bravo Your Life!!
