Abstract
Recent judicial practice reveals the need to combat certain conduct of public officials with certain means of criminal law. Is abuse of office an efficient tool in that matter? This paper tries to provide some answers related to the regulation of the offense of abuse of office by reference to recent caselaw and elements of comparative law.
The paper comes in the context of debates on the modification of the constitutive content of the offence and offers some proposals based on arguments related to Romanian and foreign caselaw, as well as international trends in this field.
