The Greek Penal Code : Law 1492 of 195 in Conjunction with Presidential Decree 283 of 1985 as of 28 February 217. English Translation by Vasiliki Chalk
Overview
Since the entry into force of the Greek Penal Code
in 1951, the basic principles governing the substantive criminal law and the
provisions on the general structure of the criminal offence have remained for the
most part unaltered. Changes in the general part of the Penal Code have focused
mainly on the sentencing provisions, the execution of punishments, and the rules
referring to juvenile offenders. The special part of the Code, however, which
consists of the individual definitions of criminal offences, has been widely amended
several times. Efforts have always been made to adapt the law to modern
socio-ethical, political, economic, and international developments, particularly in
the fields of terrorism and corruption, as well as organized, white-collar, and
sexual crime. This translation covers all the revisions and amendments of the last 35
years. The present volume also includes a systematic introduction to the basic
characteristics and fundamental principles of criminal law and the Penal Code of
Greece. As such, it is an indispensable resource for legal professionals,
comparatists, and international scholars interested in the Greek criminal justice
system.
