The debate on expanding criminal law towards upper class criminality and minimal criminal law

Abstract

The public debate on the question of: which social conflicts should be punished from a perspective of criminal policy, still continues. The attempts to impose criminality on particular acts come within a framework by which criminalization is determined by legislators who reflect punitive expansion. The objective of this paper is to discuss the struggle between criminalization models which options, on one hand, tend to the enforcement through the criminal system by persecuting criminality of powerful, and on the other hand, seek standards of minimum intervention so as to avoid excessive application of criminal law.
