Developing and changing values have led to the need to make arrangements that will create criminal liability in the relationship of individuals living in society with other individuals and with states. Criminal law includes provisions on sanctions to be applied in proportion to the nature and extent of the crime committed by individuals all over the world.

Proceedings within the scope of criminal law consist of three main elements. These are claim, defense and the judicial authority. The person can defend himself by making use of the presumption of innocence that he did not commit the crime he was charged with, and by stating that the act committed was carried out for legal reasons which disposes him from criminal liability. In addition to these reasons, if there is any personal impunity reasons that applies for the defendant, this should also be asserted in the defense. Investigation and prosecution processes are carried out within the scope of the crimes included mainly in the Turkish Criminal Code No. 5237, Turkish Criminal Procedure Law No. 5271 and other related legislation.

In addition, this accusation against the person alleged to have committed a crime in the field of criminal law must be proven by the evidence obtained in accordance with the criminal procedure law by the public prosecutor's office. At this point, for defense, it is necessary to examine the evidence and whether the evidence is in accordance with the law and to defend accordingly. In addition, in terms of the court's decision at the end of the trial, in order for the person to be punished, the available legal evidence must clearly and conclusively prove that the person has committed a crime. At this point, the defense made by the lawyer affects the opinion of the court that carries out the judicial activity and can make a huge difference in whether the person is punished or not.
