| Summary: | This paper aims to analyze the structure and evolution of the criminal norm in the context of various existing legal systems at the global level, showing both the similarities and the differences between these systems. Thus, in the context of increasingly prominent globalization and unification of legal systems, there is some reticence registered within states in relation with the “modernization” and uniformity of the criminal norm. Therefore, a comparative presentation of criminal norms in certain representative legal systems, namely China for the Asian legal system, the United States of America for the North American legal system, Lebanon for the Islamic law system, and Italy for the European law system, is desirable. Also, the paper shall highlight the historical evolution of criminal norms as well as their development according to the existing cultural valences in each region. Moreover, this paper provides an overview of the development of criminal law in different legal systems and underlines the social and cultural factors as well as the space and time matters that customize the legislation of each state subject to analysis. |
