Preferred term
decriminalization
Definition
- Decriminalization refers to the removal of a state's classification of certain behavior or action as criminal and subject to the criminal law. However, this simple definition hides profound social and political processes that usually precede legal reform. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Decriminalization]
