Abstract

Terrorist self-indoctrination offence (art. 575.2 CP) is the main novelty of the modification of the Criminal Code introduced with the LO 2/2015. With it, the punishment of conducts belonging to the subject's inner self, not externalised and far removed from the effective endangering of legal assets is introduced into our criminal system. The criminal expansionism that characterises the fight against terrorism seems to be implemented with the criminalisation of this offence, which is unanimously criticised by the doctrine for the advance of the punitive boundaries it entails, its contradiction with the criminal and constitutional standards that should guide our Social and Democratic State of Law, its dangerous approach to paradigms such as the Criminal Law of the enemy, the actor-based Criminal Law or the symbolic Criminal Law, and the punishment of the dangerousness of the subject rather than liability for the act. The aim of this paper is to provide a critical legal analysis which, through a structured and comprehensive exposition, explains the origins of the offence and its current configuration, as well as the main doctrinal criticisms of it.
