CRIMINAL OFFENSES CONNECTED WITH THE OCCULT - TERM AND DEFINITION, PASSIVE SUBJECTS AND OBJECTS OF THE ACTS OF COMMISSION

Summary/Abstract: The first part of this paper consists of an analysis of term and definition of occult-related criminal offenses. After the presentation and critical review of existing definitions, author proposes several new, legal-oriented definitions. He concludes that the use of a term “occult crime” is not adequate. Instead of it, he suggests use of descriptive and flexible categories (not related to positive law), such as, for example: “offenses associated with the occult”, “crime with elements of the occult” and the like. Offense connected with the occult is defined as any offense which includes certain occult components among its objective or subjective characteristics. According to the broader definition, it is any offense that, in addition to its description based on a positive law, also has some specific characteristics which indicate the presence of a certain occult components, whereby those components can manifest themself among the causes and motivational factors of that specific crime, within the method of execution, as well as within all other subjective and objective circumstances in the planning and execution of individual criminal act. Crime related to the occult is defined as a heterogeneous and flexible category which includes all criminal offenses that are in some way and at any level associated with occult content.
