Plundering is regulated under Article 148, 149 and 150 of the Turkish Criminal Court under title of crime against individuals in the first chapter and title of crime against property under the tenth chapter. Plundering can be defined as a crime of taking a movable belonging which an individual has by using force and threat. The property rights which individuals have as well as freedom of individual and untouchable nature of body are violated in plundering. In this regard, criminal sanction is imposed in almost all legal orders in historical process, since it violates more than one right of individuals.The subject of my thesis is the crime of plundering. The thesis is composed of three chapters. In the first chapter, the concept of plundering, its history, comparative provisions on it, the distinction between it and other crimes and the rights protected are elobarated. In the second chapter, the elements of plundering are examined within the framework of the classic crime theory. In the last chapter, I focus on special appearances of plundering, effective remorse, procedure on investigation and judgment and its sanction. I do not analyze relevant provisions of old penal code under different chapter. Instead, I make a comparative analysis by linking it to relevant issues .
