Administrative offence and liability
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
Show the difference between an administrative offence, a crime and a disciplinary misdemeanour in a table (3 criteria).
Criteria: which law sets it, who punishes, consequence. Administrative: Code, judge/body, fine; crime: Criminal Code, court, criminal punishment; disciplinary: Labour Code, employer, reprimand etc.
2
Why can a similar act be assessed as administrative or criminal depending on amount or consequences?
Because the degree of social danger differs: lighter liability for small harm and heavier for large harm is fair.
3
Why is an educational approach to 16–18-year-old offenders useful? Write 2–3 sentences.
It allows the special position of young people to be taken into account, with an educational approach to guide them correctly.
4
Compare “administrative coercion” and “administrative punishment” and give one example of each.
Coercion is a broad group of measures ensuring compliance (for example stopping a driver); punishment is a measure of liability for an offence (for example a fine).
5
Why do you think administrative liability for street cleanliness is needed? Write your view in 4–5 sentences.
It protects public order and the environment, builds the habit of following common rules, and measures such as fines have an educational and preventive effect.
