Cezalar

Cezalar, Turkish plural of ceza, is a term used in legal and administrative contexts to denote penalties or sanctions imposed for the violation of laws, regulations, or rules. The word is commonly found in Turkish criminal and administrative law and in official documents describing penalties decided by courts or authorities.

Penalties classified under cezalar typically include imprisonment and monetary fines, but may also encompass other sanctions such as probation, community service, or administrative measures. The precise types and terms depend on the jurisdiction and the governing legal framework. Penalties are intended to deter violations, punish wrongdoing, and protect public safety while respecting due process and proportionality.

The imposition and enforcement of cezalar follow legal procedures, with decisions typically subject to appeal or review by higher courts or independent bodies. In everyday usage, cezalar can also mean disciplinary sanctions in non-criminal contexts, such as sports or organizational rules, where referees or authorities may impose penalties for violations.
