Aiding and abetting is the most lenient form of complicity in a criminal offence, which is, together with instigation, defined in the general part of the Slovenian Criminal Code , in the chapter pertaining to complicity. Aiding and abbeting in a criminal offence means intentional support to the perpetrator in an intentionally successful criminal offence . What is characteristic of it are particularly courses of conduct which are separated from the field of successful courses of conduct, which mitigate or enable the offence to the perpetrator and offer the perpetrator support during the execution of a criminal offence in various ways. We refer to complicitous courses of conduct, when two or more persons collaborate in the execution of a criminal offence. Based on the evaluation and estimation of their contributions we deliniate between courses of conduct which are content-wise on a perpetration or co-perpetration level and between contributions which are content-wise more lenient and we classify them among courses of conduct, characteristic of aiding and abetting or instigation. When deliniating between the two quintessential forms of complicity (perpetration and complicity in the more narrow sense of the word), we lean on the theories of perpetration, which individually highlight the quintessential characteristics or criteria due to which the perpetration courses of conduct differ from other complicitous courses of conduct.
