Abstract:

 In the Ottoman Empire, a certain number of regulations were made in the bureaucracy and civil service in the 19th century. During the Tanzimat period, these regulations gained traction, and the civil servant profession was attempted to be established in a modern and rational system. Furthermore, legal sanctions for crimes committed by officers were on the agenda of the periods administrators. The crimes that concerned authorities were bribery, corruption, insult, embezzlement, misappropriation, unauthorized leave, failing to fulfill duties, and some unethical actions. In addition, in the reign of Abdülhamid II, the Sicill-i Ahval Commission was established, which was responsible for recording the biographies of civil servants in order to prevent uncontrolled and regular appointments of civil servants. The Sicill-i Ahval records, which were started to be kept by this commission, have been recorded in the books called Sicill-i Umumi since 1879. In this study, crimes committed by Muslim and non-Muslim officers born in the central district of Antalya will be addressed by using Sicill-i Ahval records, and evaluations will be made in the context of central-provincial relations about the nature of the crime committed and the fate of the officer who committed the crime.

 Osmanlı Devletinde, 19. yüzyılda bürokrasi ve memuriyet özelinde birtakım düzenlemeler yapılmıştır. Bu düzenlemeler özellikle Tanzimat döneminden itibaren hız kazanmış, memurluk mesleği modern ve rasyonel bir sisteme oturtulmaya çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca memurların işledikleri suçlara karşı uygulanacak yasal yaptırımlar da dönemin idarecilerinin gündeminde yer almıştır. Memurlarla ilgili rahatsız olunan hususların temelini ise rüşvet, yolsuzluk, hakaret, zimmetine para geçirme, görevi kötüye kullanma, izinsiz görev yerinden ayrılma, görevi yerine getirmeme ve ahlaksız bazı hareketlerde bulunma gibi müzmin suçlar oluşturmuştur. Sözü edilen suçlarının önüne geçilmesi ve yargılama sürecinin belli ilkelere göre yapılması amacıyla çeşitli kanun ve nizamnameler yayımlanmıştır. Ayrıca II. Abdülhamid dönemine gelindiğinde, denetimsizliğin önüne geçmek ve memur atamalarını düzenli bir şekilde yapabilmek amacıyla memurların biyografilerini kaydetmekle yükümlü olan Sicill-i Ahval Komisyonu kurulmuştur. Bu komisyon bünyesinde tutulmaya başlanan sicill-i ahval kayıtları ise 1879dan itibaren sicill-i umûmî adı verilen defterlere kaydedilmiştir. Buradan hareketle çalışmada, sicill-i ahval kayıtlarından faydalanılarak Antalya merkez kazasında doğan Müslüman ve gayrimüslim memurların işledikleri suçlar ele alınacak, işlenen suçun niteliği ve suçu işleyen memurun akıbeti hakkında merkez-taşra ilişkisi bağlamında değerlendirmelerde bulunulacaktır.
