Abstracts

EN

The gloss concerns the issue of the degree of social harmfulness of acts consist- ing in placing indecent words in a public place (Article 141 of the Code on Petty Offences). It should be emphasised that not every behaviour that fulfils the statu- tory features of that petty offence should result in criminal liability, due to the possible lack of social justification for a criminal response. At the same time, it is reasonable to retain the ban on this kind of acts in the Polish legal system, because public morality and the purity of the Polish language are legal values worthy of criminal protection.
