أحكام جريمة تعريض الطفل للخطر في قانون العقوبات العراقي والجزائري

Abstract EN

This research deals with the provisions of the crime of endangering child in the Iraqi and Algerian Penal Code.

Its purpose is to clarify the provisions of this crime and the similarities and differences between both in order to take advantage of the strengths of each law.

To achieve this, the researcher used the analytical, comparative, and analytical inductive method.

The study concluded with results: the similarity between the two laws on certain issues, such as the crime occurs as soon as the perpetrator commits any act that could expose the child to danger, and increasing the penalty if the expected danger occurs.

As for the issues of disagreement, the case for argument was in favor of Iraqi law on certain issues, such as all provisions of the crime are dealt with within one article consisting of only two paragraphs.

On other issues, the balance was in favor of Algerian law, such as the scope of criminal protection for children at risk is wider than its Iraqi counterpart.

Thus, the Algerian legislator can benefit from the Iraqi legislator, and vice versa.

We also suggested an alternative legal article to the articles dealing with the provisions of this crime in both laws
