What is Criminal Law?
Criminal law is the discipline of law that determines who constitutes an injustice and should be defined as a misdemeanor, in which cases such behavior constitutes a misdemeanor and what sanctions should be applied for these misdemeanors.
What is the Subject of Criminal Law?
Subject of general criminal law; The definition of the term punishment, the definition of the term misdemeanor with its material and internal elements, the general principles that dominate the criminal law, the reasons that eliminate the crime, the reasons that reduce or eliminate the punishment are the principles and theories that are valid for all crimes.
The main basic principles of criminal law;
Direct (formal) sources of Criminal Law;
Duty and Purpose of Criminal Law;
Not knowing the penal laws is not an excuse. A person who commits a misdemeanor just because he does not know the law because of a mistake that he cannot avoid, by mistaking it as legitimate, will not be penalized.
The occurrence of crime depends on the existence of intent. Caste is knowingly and willingly committing the elements in the legal definition of the crime. Negligence, on the other hand, is the execution of a behavior without foreseeing the result specified in the legal definition of the crime due to the violation of the duty of care and attention.
For example, if the employer who employs workers by not taking the necessary occupational safety measures causes injury as a result of a work accident, he/she will be committing the crime of injuring people by casual negligence.
In caste, on the other hand, there is deliberately committing wrongdoing; For example, a person who shoots a gun at a person deliberately kills a person.
