The Albanian Criminal Code is a comprehensive legal framework that outlines criminal offenses and their corresponding penalties in Albania. Established in 1995 and revised several times, it aims to protect public order and individual rights while ensuring justice is served. The code categorizes crimes into various sections, including offenses against persons, property, and the state. The code also emphasizes the principles of legality and proportionality, ensuring that punishments are appropriate to the severity of the crime. It serves as a crucial tool for law enforcement and the judiciary in maintaining social order and upholding the rule of law in Albania.
