Wykładnia prokonstytucyjna w praktyce. Przykład stalkingu

When introducing a new type of criminal offence, i.e making the decision to criminalize something or to modify the present regulations, the lawmaker is obliged to take into account the constitutional context. In consequence, it means that the lawmaker must indicate the values, colliding with themselves, related to the planned regulation. Next, keeping the rule of proportionality in mind, the norm should be made in such a way that corresponds to and fits to the system of values expressed in the Constitution of Poland. The aim of this article is to show the practical aspect of proconstitutional interpretation in Polish criminal law based on the example of a new type of criminal offence that is on the example of stalking.
