The Criminal Law's Position on the Crime of Killing an Employee while being on Job

Abstract

The criminal law's position regarding the crime of killing an employee during the performance of their work does not deviate from the main elements of general criminal rights. The study of the provisions of this crime focuses on the three pillars (or elements) of the legal, material, and moral aspects of murder. It also considers various circumstances that may modify the liability of the perpetrator or the conditions for punishing them, such as attempted crime, complicity, justifications, special procedures for pursuing the perpetrator, and concludes with the explanation of penalties or precautionary measures resulting from the crime. It also examines the reasons for modifying the punishment, granting exemptions, or applying stricter measures due to various considerations. The study takes into account the surrounding factors of the crime, whether the criminal act is a result of the nature of the employee's work, leading to animosity that led to the commission of the crime by the perpetrator, or if it is unrelated to the nature of the work, considering the violation of state dignity or the perpetrator's lack of knowledge of the victim's occupation in public places. It is possible for the crime to occur against the employee while they are performing their work without the perpetrator being aware of the true nature of their occupation.
