  • An Approach to the Crime of Theft and Its Connection with the Civil Theory of Possession
    Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Vol. 1, No. 4, 2015, pp. 361-367 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/jssh An Approach to the Crime of Theft and Its Connection with the Civil Theory of Possession Doinel Dinuică 1, Mioara-Ketty Guiu 2, * 1Faculty of Law and Public Administration, “Spiru Haret” University, Bucharest, Romania 2Faculty of Law and Public Administration, Spiru Haret University, Research Associate of “Acad, Andrei Rădulescu” Legal Research Institute of Romanian Academy, Bucharest, Romania Abstract Contrary to appearances, the crime of theft raises many complex and difficult issues, most of which have not yet been settled. Almost all essential aspects related to this crime are controversial: its definition, legal object or protection purpose, the limitation period, its delimitation from other similar crimes (such as the crime of breach of trust) etc. One of the reasons of this failure is the so-called “subjective theory of possession” which continues to dominate the civil doctrine and to have a negative influence on the analysis of the crimes against patrimony, in general, and the crime of theft, in special. It is for this reason that the authors of the present paper have endeavoured, firstly, to develop a different theory of possession, an objective one, according to which possession and detention are not “facts as such” but specific prerogatives of the patrimonial rights which differ between themselves by content (possession implies detention, but its content is much broader). Then, starting from this point, the authors have set as their purpose to offer new answers regarding the controversial issues related to the crime of theft (for example, they consider that the theft ensures protection only to legal detention thus, there is no crime of theft if the good is taken from a thief).

  • The Sovietization of the Romanian Criminal Justice System

CEU eTD Collection ii ABSTRACT In this thesis I address the judicial and legal systems of Romania from 1945 to 1953 within the context of the communist tack-over of Sovietization of Romania. More precisely, I discuss the arrangement of the judiciary and several amendments brought to criminal legislation (Penal Code). I argue that during the period under my focus Soviet- type judicial institutions, legal concepts, and practices were transplanted to Romania at different stages. I also argue that beginning in 1948, when a Soviet-type constitution and a new penal code came into effect, the communist government of Romania gave political repression, to a certain extent a legal dimension. Accordingly, my aim is to demonstrate that the repressive nature of the regime was upheld by the ideological interpretation of criminal law.
