ABSTRACT

The goal of the modesty principle is to maintain the advantages of the law and defend human rights. In criminal law, the modesty principle permeates every step of the criminal legislative and criminal judicial processes. The criminal law's purview has been expanding to better protect legal benefits with the passage of time and the soaring development of society. Many behaviors have been added to the purview of criminal punishment, branding those that were not crimes with the mark of crimes. It is undeniable that the development of the criminal law field has contributed significantly to the punishment of serious crimes and the defense of legal interests. However, it is important to consider the fact that this development has also resulted in corresponding criminal liability for minor offenses, which is discussed from the perspective of modesty in criminal law.
