Descriminalizam

Descriminalizam is a term referring to the act of removing criminal penalties for certain activities. This does not necessarily mean that the activity becomes legal, but rather that it is no longer treated as a crime. Instead, it may be subject to civil penalties, fines, or other non-criminal sanctions. The concept of decriminalization is often discussed in relation to drug policies, where certain substances might be decriminalized, leading to a focus on public health rather than criminal prosecution. It can also apply to other behaviors, such as minor traffic offenses or certain forms of public nuisance. The rationale behind decriminalization often centers on reducing the burden on the criminal justice system, addressing the potential harms of criminalization, and allowing for a more therapeutic or regulatory approach to certain issues. It is a policy choice that falls on a spectrum between full criminalization and full legalization.
