As we have clearly stated above, the term disgraceful crime has been categorized by special laws, by counting. For this reason, it is not possible to comment on whether any crime falls into the infamous crime category. According to the law to which you will be subject and if some crimes are listed with the concept of disgrace, it can be determined whether a crime is disgraceful or not.
The concept of disgraceful crime actually appears as a crime classification. The concept of disgraceful crime was included in the 68th article of the 1961 Constitution for the first time, and after that, this term began to be used in the 1982 Constitution and other laws. In cases that are not generally counted or exemplified in the laws, whether the crime is disgraceful or not is left to the discretion of the relevant authorities.
The Civil Servants Law No. 657 regulates the conditions sought for entry to civil service. These conditions are listed in article 48. One of the conditions sought according to the relevant article;
