Hayasızca Hareketler Suçu (TCK M 225)

Abstract

The crime of indecent acts is regulated in Article 225 of the Turkish Penal Code (TCPC) No. 5237, with acts involving intentionally engaging in sexual intercourse and exhibitionism being covered by criminal sanctions in this same article. Besides having a wide application area, this type of crime also involves many discussions in terms of crime theory, such as the legal value protected by this type of crime, how to make sense of the concepts of sexual intercourse and exhibitionism in the legal text, whether the purpose or motive of the perpetrator has an effect on the formation of the crime in terms of its moral element, and what the characteristics this type of crime has in terms of the application of the provisions of participation. Many issues require a holistic analysis within the framework of crime theory. In this context, examine the types of crime is thought to be useful within the framework of both German and Turkish teachings and current judicial decisions. Within the scope of the study, the crime of indecent acts is the subject of analytical examination within the framework of the examination method of the crime theory adopted by the new TPC.
