Abstract

In this paper we have examined the crime of sexual corruption of a minor according to the new rules laid down in the new Criminal Code. To support theorists and practitioners we have insisted on examining the constitutive content of the offense and the elements of similarity and difference between the regulations of the Criminal Code of 1969 and the Criminal Code in force; the examination itself is extremely useful in terms of identifying and applying the more favorable criminal law. The innovations brought by this paper consist in a comparative examination of the provisions of the two laws, the examination of the content of constitution, and the consideration of alternatives regarding the enforcement of the more favorable criminal law. The paper can be useful for law students and the practitioners in the field.
