  The Criminal Code of Hungary has contained the criminal offence of harassment since 2008 (Art. 222 of the current Criminal Code). The criminal definition contains three different statutory conducts: (1) disturbing or bothering behaviours (2) „dangerous threat” and (3) „awakening appearance of danger”. Many examples in Hungarian legal practice show that the prosecutors and judges face huge difficulties in the interpretation of these types of harassment. The main questions are: Which behaviours can fulfil the statutory elements of „harassment by threatening”? How can we define „threat” and „awakening appearance of danger” as a conduct? How can they be distinguished? Which other delimitation questions arise? this paper aims to answer these questions.
