11873_2002 Study D2: Poverty, Informal Sector, Health and Labour 4. CRIME 4.1. Definitions In Jordan, crime is every act that the law considers to be a crime. No punishment can be imposed without a statement in the law. Jordanian Criminal Code The Criminal Code adopted in 1956, which had been amended many times, contained the bulk of the country’s criminal law. In addition, certain codified civil statutes also prescribed penalties for acts such as libel, adultery, and publication of material endangering the security of the kingdom. Individuals could not be punished except for acts made criminal by virtue of penalties prescribed by law. Other than where specified, a person could also not be punished for committing a criminal act in the absence of criminal responsibility or intent, both of which were defined by the code. As a safeguard of personal liberty, the government had the burden of proving both the defendant’s commitment of the act and the admissible intent of the defendant before guilt could be established. The criminal code, in traditional French form, divided criminal offenses into three categories according to the severity of the applicable punishments. In English common law these categories are equated roughly to felonies, misdemeanors, and minor violations. Punishments for felonies ranged from death by hanging to imprisonment for periods ranging from three years to life. Punishments for misdemeanors included imprisonment for periods ranging from three weeks to three years and a variety of fines. Minor violations could be punished by imprisonment for less than three weeks, small fines, or reprimands by the court. In cases involving misdemeanors or minor violations, a judge also could invoke preventive measures including detention for psychiatric examination, forfeiture of material goods, or closure of a place of business. The Criminal Code provided for minimum penalties for all major infractions rather than relying on the discretion of the courts. FONDAZIONE CENSIS 92
