@article{2019,title={Sanctions of Some Crimes in Agricultural Production in the Hittites and Comparison of Turkish Penal Code},abstractNode={B.C. The Hittite economy, one of the important cultures of Anatolia in the 2nd millennium, was based on agriculture and animal husbandry. In this study, it is aimed to examine how the Hittite civilization provides sustainability in agricultural production, some sanctions on agricultural law, wages in seasonal workers and some problems encountered in agricultural production. To achieve this goal, the transcribed Hittite Laws were utilized. During the Hittites period, agricultural products consisted mainly of wheat and barley. Problems such as climatic, geographical, enemy attack and grasshopper pests were encountered in agricultural production. In general, agricultural production facilities were state-controlled farms. Family members, NAM.RAS (slaves/prisoners in which the state distributed the farms free of charge) and seasonal workers carried out production on these farms. The Hittites made legal arrangements to ensure sustainability in agricultural production. These arrangements include the purchase and sale of animal and agricultural equipment, the operation and/or leasing of land. In addition, sanctions against crimes such as burning of crops, stealing of crops, confiscation of fruit trees and land border violations were also legally guaranteed.},author={Güngör KARAKAŞ-, Arif KUMAS},year={2019},journal={Journal of Academic Value Studies (JAVStudies)}}
