Abstract

Legal rules are dynamic, meaning that they change depending on the evolution of the society at a certain time, in order to successfully meet the needs of regulation of social relations. The Criminal Code is no exception to this rule. Insult and slander have been decriminalized by the Law no. 278/2006, a situation which has led to changing legal content of other crimes, such as outrage, referred to in Art. 239 Criminal Code, by repealing its basic variant, relative to insult and slander. Instead, at the offense of abusive behavior, referred to in Art. 250 Criminal Code, the basic variant, represented by ,,the use of offensive language”, remained in force.
