Polish Penal Code

The Polish Penal Code is a set of laws that define criminal offenses and specify punishments for those crimes in Poland. It outlines what actions are considered illegal—such as theft, violence, or fraud—and establishes penalties like fines, imprisonment, or other sanctions. The code also details procedures for legal proceedings, rights of victims, and circumstances that may influence sentencing. Its goal is to maintain order, ensure justice, and protect citizens’ rights by clearly defining criminal behaviors and corresponding consequences under Polish law.
