Criminal Law
Criminal Law is a branch of law that regulates unlawful conduct constituting a crime and the sanctions related to such conduct. Criminal Law is divided into substantive criminal law and procedural criminal law.
While substantive criminal law regulates the crime and the sanctions related to the crime, procedural criminal law constitutes the law of criminal procedure. Substantive criminal law is further divided into General Provisions and Special Provisions. The Turkish Penal Code consists of two books titled “General Provisions” (Articles 1-75) and “Special Provisions” (Articles 76-345).
It is generally not possible for an individual being investigated or prosecuted for any crime to be fully aware of their rights as a suspect or defendant, the elements of the crime charged, how the crime is constituted, reasons for not imposing a penalty, or mitigating factors. Therefore, they require professional legal support during the investigation (soruşturma) or prosecution (kovuşturma) phases.
