Bncselekménynek

Bűncselekménynek is the dative singular form of bűncselekmény, the Hungarian term for a criminal offense. A bűncselekmény is an act defined and punishable by law, typically under the country’s criminal code. The form bűncselekménynek appears in predicative constructions with verbs such as tekint, minősít, or megállapít, for example: Ezt bűncselekménynek tekintik (they treat this as a crime) or ennek bűncselekménynek minősítése (the classification of this act as a crime).

Etymology: The word is a compound of bűn (crime, fault) and cselekmény (act, deed). In legal usage, it denotes an act that meets the statutory elements of a crime and is subject to criminal penalties.

Legal context: In Hungary, bűncselekmények are defined and described in the criminal code (büntető törvénykönyv, Btk). The category distinguishes criminal offenses from szabálysértések (misdemeanors) and other irregularities. The classification affects procedural aspects (investigation, prosecution) and potential penalties. A key feature is the presence of both actus reus (the physical act or omission) and mens rea (intent or negligence), though specific offenses vary by type.

Usage notes: Outside Hungary, or in translation, bűncselekmény translates as "criminal offense" or "crime." The ASCII-like form bncselekménynek is a nonstandard spelling used in contexts without proper diacritics.
