Deprivation of liberty

Legal recognition has not been sufficient for liberty protection; at the same time, it has been also necessary to establish a system that inhibits infringement of liberty. As regards to this, one of the major steps is the codification of crimes against liberty. With the regulation of the Crimes Against Liberty in the seventh section of second part of Turkish Criminal Code No.5237, liberties in that section have been truly recognized. The deprivation of one's liberty is regulated in Article 109 in the section of the Crimes Against Liberty. Depriving one from liberty of moving to or remaining in a place is acknowledged as a crime. Liberty of actual and potential movement is protected legal value in this type crime. Characteristics of major crime in this type of crime are regulated on the basis of ease at committing the crime and content of tortious act. This thesis premises upon the subject of deprivation of liberty because protective measures in the Code of Criminal Procedure No.5271 and related regulations are lawful reason in the deprivation of an individual's liberty, it is required to restrict victim's liberty of movement to commit many types of crime, and there is uncertainty of protected legal value by crime.
