德國於1974 年刑法修正將公務人員的概念，統合在公務員的概念下，就主體判斷的範圍而言，並非有所限縮或是擴張，蓋既有公務人員概念下的行為主體，對於判斷職務犯罪的行為主體而言，並無改變，其僅是將原本在公務人員概念下，具有意義模糊的概念，作更為明確的規範而已。但重要的並非公務員概念的範圍，而是職務犯罪的類型。德國刑法雖擴張公務員的概念，卻也同時檢討並精簡職務犯罪的類型，畢竟公務員概念僅是職務犯罪行為主體的前提要件而已，並非直接做為職務犯罪的主體要件。

German Criminal Law was amended in 1974 and made some amendment about the concept of the public servant. As far as the range of judgment about the actor was concerned, it didn't limit or extend the range because of that the amendment merely made the unclear concept of the public servant to be much more definite. The type of duty crimes but not the range of the concept related to the public servant is important. Although German Criminal Law extended the concept of the public servant, it also examined and simplified the type of duty crimes because the concept of the public servant is merely the premise condition but not the subject condition with the actor in duty crimes.
