The Evolution of the Criminal Phenomenon – Some Considerations

ABSTRACT: The evolution of the criminal phenomenon is a consequence of the development of society, as the latest developments in society have also determined a negative evolution of the criminal phenomenon. It no longer has territorial limits and no differences regarding the mode of operation. The commission of serious, particularly serious, and exceptionally serious crimes involves a complex process that consists of several stages. In this context, the need to implement an appropriate legal framework oriented towards protecting security and territorial integrity while ensuring fundamental human rights and freedoms, becomes evident.
