Abstract
Differentiation of Punishable Behaviour Under Anglo-Saxon Law
The Anglo-Saxon system of punitive behaviour in England and the United States was used as an antipode
to the European continental legal model to comparatively present contemporary solutions of the
general criminal offences classification. Given that the scientific literature abounds in quoting German
criminal law doctrine, in order to provide a more comprehensive account of the modelling of criminal
behaviour structure, the US criminal and civil paradigm has been described, with questions arising regarding
the delegation of judicial administration to the state administration. The constitutionally guaranteed
fundamental rights, such as due process and the right to legal counsel, have been challenged by
the high rate of misdemeanour repression, which often has significant collateral consequences for the
defendant. For the European lawyer unconventional, economic approach to criminalisation, with its
consequent implications for the legal system, arouses interest.
