SOME REMARKS ON THE LANGUAGE OF CRIMINAL LAW

Summary/Abstract: The study concerns the linguistic form in which the elements of an action are captured in the process of criminalization. One of the problems raised in this context is the use of colloquial language and the degree to which this way of formulating elements of crimes ensures the clarity of the description of prohibited acts. This is particularly important for the implementation of the guarantee function of criminal law. The author attempts to define a legislative technique that would ensure the protection of individuals against arbitrary interpretation of the provisions of criminal law.
