The Special Section of the Penal Code is based on the principles of the General Section of the Penal Code in its various crimes. Therefore, this book addresses crimes against persons and crimes against property.
The first section begins with a study of intentional homicide and manslaughter, explaining the prerequisite condition for these crimes, which is the existence of a living human being. It then examines the physical and mental elements of intentional homicide, followed by an analysis of its basic and aggravated penalties. The discussion also covers mitigating excuses that reduce the severity of the punishment. Next, the book explores manslaughter, detailing the manifestations of negligence, clarifying the causal relationship in such crimes, and concluding with the prescribed penalty for manslaughter. This is followed by a study of the crime of abortion. After discussing crimes against persons, the book also studies the crimes against property, including theft, fraud, and breach of trust. A significant part is dedicated to the crime of issuing a bad check, covering its prerequisite condition, defining a check along with the various forms of this crime, its mental element, and the prescribed penalties.
