decriminalisation
Decriminalisation refers to the legislative act or process of removing or reducing the classification of certain actions or behaviors from being considered a crime, making them legal or subject to civil penalties rather than criminal ones. This process is often applied to non-violent crimes such as drug use or possession, in an effort to redirect resources or address societal attitudes towards the issue.
