As far I am concerned, Penal Code refers to the Criminal Law, in fact Criminal Code in Turkish Justice. Does anyone know whether this translation is found appropriate by the legal or political theorists or is it just called as it is?

These are not official translations and brought only to help foreign people have access to basic Turkish legislation in English. The translations are available in the link below:

I would suggest the translation of Turkish Penal Code - Türk Ceza Kanunu by Vahit Bıçak&Edward Grieves, for the full translation of the text. You may find this as an appropriate translation... I can't make any comment about these posts as the members did not mention, if it is their own translation or written from any publication, in order to classify as 'appropriate'

You can either order the book from any of this kind of web-order sites or find in any national libraries

Also this is the link of a library that you can acces to the book...

Thanks for the comments made by themis01 and law of economics. In fact, the answer I was seeking was in themis01's comments.

The reason why I am concerned with the penal code translation is that, penal in English literature refers to any disciplinary system for those who breach the policies established in other words designated by not necessarily legal system but any other authority. Unlike the common law countries however, many civil law countries use preferably the "Penal Code" compared to those who use "Criminal Code" in the common law system such as English Justice System. I understand that the civil law countries rely heavily on the Roman Law so that they simply adopt the name of the "Penal Code" historically from the penal institution or colony is one where criminals are kept as punishment or imprisoned on an island that has served as a penal colony in Roman times.

Nonetheless, the usage of the Penal Code is perfectly appropriate in codified constitutional countries.

Obviously there must be ones who know much better than me, but as far as I remember, in my undergrad, one of my lecturer used to translate the -term- as criminal law, but it depends to the profession if he/she follows the equivalent structures in the other countries. On the other hand the subject is really deep enough to discuss for weeks I suppose...

Basicly, in hence the translations do the job, I beleive they do not perfectly fit to the instutitional structures for the countries, not only have the different legal system but even the same common/civil law structured systems.... -I personally agree with you for the term penal code-
