Abstract

Rules of law have been the most important element to establish the social order from past to present. The rules of law in conjunction with the society's values are affected by some components like traditions, religion, moral values with no doubt. In today's world, in which ancient borders almost disappear and globalization started to form in many ways although universal rules of law are attempts to be reached as an ideal principle in the specific examples, cultural variables are possible to be seen. One of the best example for this situation is the problems in criminal law applications. In this context, Turkey's view in the value structure-specific problems such as tradition, honor, blood herding as the causes of crime may be encountered and these are related to the legitimacy differentiation or a religious practice circumcision which the body immunity violation of terms could be evaluated as a number of cultural differences. This study aims to analyse different elements live together in contemporary societies, like more national values shaped by the punishment system and inhabited by the dead and the applications from Turkey with maximum out-migration in the context of Germany.
