Talk:Decriminalization

2013 comments
This entry seems essentially the same as Legalisation? Decriminalisation is the removing of penalties but legalisation involves enacting laws, regulation and taxation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.25.109.197 (talk) 12:37, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not. I added a minor edit that clarifies the specific differences. The original note said "While decriminalized acts are no longer crimes, they may still be the subject of penalties;"  I edited this to say "While decriminalized acts are no longer crimes under local or state law, they may still be the subject of penalties under federal law;"  The bold is just mine for emphasis.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.190.40.1 (talk) 08:32, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Parking decriminalisation
"Decriminalisation" often does not mean the removal of penalties, indeed it can mean enhanced enforcement. For example, in most of the UK parking contraventions are officially "decriminalised", but they are instead enforced much more rigorously (albeit without the threat of criminal sanctions) through Parking Charge Notices and civil parking enforcement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uncriticalsimon (talk • contribs) 23:07, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Wiki Community, I plan to edit the first paragraph so that it is more digestible for the average reader and supplement this page with the externalities of decriminalization. I also plan to use drug decriminalization as an example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amarhenry (talk • contribs) 07:09, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
