Abstract:

The concept of "public officer", which is mainly handled in the field of constitutional and administrative law, also defined in Article 6/1-c of the Turkish Penal Code is a legal concept should be examined separately in terms of criminal law. The fact that the lawmaker prefers to define the typical act in certain crimes by attributing the person’s title as a public officer makes it more compulsory to determine the concept of public officer correctly with the dimension of criminal law. In case of complicity in peculiar crimes, in terms of individuals those who are eligible to be a perpetrator of a peculiar offence and those who do not eligible to be a perpetrator of a peculiar offence; in other words, for accomplices who are public officers and who are not public officers, what kind of legal consequences arise should be examined carefully. On the other hand, the acts committed by the perpetrator who is a public officer or the acts committed against a public officer due to his / her public duty, necessitates the aggravation of the sentence in terms of some crimes. In case of violation of such a criminal norm within the complicity, the impact of qualified cases to the perpetrator, and the participator should be analyzed, and the effect of the title of public officer on the criminal responsibility of the accomplices should be determined
