EXAMEN DEL ANTEPROYECTO DE CÓDIGO PENAL: ¿ESTADO DEMOCRÁTICO O ESTADO AUTORITARIO?

(Reflexiones jurídico-políticas a propósito de un Anteproyecto de Código Penal)

Abstract

In this two works it is analyzed the compatibility of the reforms proposed through the 2008 draft bill (of the Spanish Penal Code of 1995) with the requirements of a rational Criminal Law: firstly, in general terms, and afterwards, specifically, in the field of the called crimes against the urban planning.
In both cases it comes to the conclusion that the proposed voting regulation of 2008 does not satisfy these requirements because it is limited to translate the authoritarian criminal policy which is demanded due to some scandalous cases, without taking care about if the specific reforms are necessary, useful and compatible with the Spanish Constitution of 1978.
