LAW262 Criminal Law I (Language of Instruction: Arabic)

The course introduces Theory of Crime and Theory of Sanction in Sharia and law. It is presented
in three parts: Part I – defines crime and lists its characteristics, divisions, and types (legal,
material, moral). Part II- deals with the study of the criminal in terms of defining his role as a
contributor to the crime, as being directly involved in the crime (original contribution) or a co-
creator (associative contribution), according to the acts he committed. In addition, this part is
concerned with the statement of the criminal responsibility for what is attributed to him and the
availability of the eligibility conditions at the time of committing the crime (perception, freedom
of choice). Furthermore, it covers the obstacles of criminal responsibility that may result, under
certain conditions, in the absence of criminal responsibility or the removal of the criminal
character of the act. Part III- introduces the Theory of Sanction, its divisions, types, and
individualization. Moreover, it indicates the reasons for mitigating and aggravating the sanction,
