The most relevant crimes against people, typified in the Penal Code, are homicide, murder, injury or ill-treatment in the family environment, also considering abortion, euthanasia or induction to suicide as such.

As the etymological origin of the term indicates, falsehood is equivalent to LIE or “mutation of the truth”. In criminal law, falsehood consists of the conscious acquisition, modification or creation of inauthentic documents, effects or values, the simulation of intervention of a person in certain legal transactions or their signature and appearance in documents, whether public, commercial or private, the usurpation of the personality of a third party, as well as the usurpation of public functions and intrusion.

The crimes of family abandonment are based on the breach of a legal duty of assistance, inherent to parental authority, guardianship and custody, guardianship, foster care, or marital relationship.

If crimes are the most serious expression of the State’s punitive power, misdemeanors constitute a milder expression of said power.

These are behaviors that the legislator considers susceptible to criminal reproach, but that do not have the entity of a crime, being considered as such due to the lightness of the facts or the result.
