The Concept Of Disgraceful Offence
The Turkish Penal Code does not include a distinction such as “disgraceful offences”. The concept of disgraceful offences, which does not have any consequences in terms of the Criminal Code, is mentioned in special laws, regulations and by-laws. Since this concept is controversial in the legal community, its use has been abandoned. Although it is obvious that “disgraceful” is one of the types of offences that affect the moral values of the society, it is seen that sexual abuse of children, sexual harassment, sexual intercourse with minors and similar offences that affect the conscience of the society even more deeply are not counted within this scope. The concept of disgraceful offences, which does not include these offences that shake the moral values of the society, has therefore not been accepted by legal circles on the grounds that it has no concrete basis.
.
Since disgraceful offences prevent the rights and statuses that people can obtain in accordance with special laws, since the offences have effects other than their penalties, pursuing them through a criminal lawyer will prevent significant loss of rights.
Disgraceful offences; It is listed in the Civil Servants Law 48, and it is called being convicted of only that crime, regardless of the amount and execution of the offences specified in the article. If an offence constitutes an obstacle to civil service due to its nature, the amount of the relevant penalty, whether it is converted into alternative sanctions or not is not important. The important thing is whether that offence is an obstacle to civil service, that is, it is listed in Article 48 of the Civil Servants Law.
