Summary
Applying comparative scientific research method, the author of the article makes inquiries into discovering the prerequisites for the criminalization of harmful behaviour. He argues that, when adopting criminalization policy, it is necessary to balance the discretionary power of legislator in accordance with the principle nullum crimen sine lege and such legal principles of constitutional rank as proportionality and ultima ratio. Criminalization of commercial smuggling clearly indicates the problems of criminalization in Latvian criminal law. The threshold of criminal liability for the deed in question shall be determined taking into account only the amount of taxes evaded due to the illegal trafficking of goods across the country’s customs border.
