elkövetési

elkövetési is a Hungarian legal term that translates roughly to "commission" or "perpetration" in English. It refers to the act of committing a crime or offense. The term is central to criminal law and is used to describe the objective action or conduct that constitutes the elements of a specific criminal offense.

In Hungarian criminal law, the concept of elkövetési involves not only the physical act but also the intent or negligence of the perpetrator, depending on the nature of the crime. It distinguishes between the act of commission (elkövetés) and the result that follows from it, as well as the subjective elements like mens rea (guilt). For a crime to be considered "elkövetett" (committed or perpetrated), all the objective and subjective elements defined by the relevant penal code must be present.

The legal consequences of elkövetési vary greatly depending on the severity and type of offense. It forms the basis for establishing criminal liability and determining appropriate punishments. Understanding elkövetési is crucial for analyzing criminal cases, assigning responsibility, and applying the law in Hungary. The term encompasses the entire process of carrying out a criminal act from inception to completion.
