Spanish term

subtipo atenuado

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
En relación al ámbito penal, y de acuerdo con la diferencia existente en el Código penal español entre ‘sustancias que causen grave daño a la salud’ y los demás casos, el Tribunal Supremo ha venido considerando, al menos desde 2014, que la hoja de coca es una sustancia que no causa grave daño a la salud, lo que permite la aplicación del subtipo penal atenuado, y las penas contempladas se ven notablemente reducidas respecto al tipo genérico.

reduced charge

Perhaps in other contexts, something like lesser (included) charge. For this I wouldn’t worry about the “sub” because “reduced” covers it.

I am changing my answer. A “charge” is from the point of view of law enforcement or a prosecutor – even a defense attorney – i.e., a formal accusation that a person has committed a crime.

A tipo penal, on the other hand, refers to the statutory definition and elements of a specific crime as outlined in the law. It is more about the categorization and legal description of the offense itself, rather than the accusation against an individual.

By reducing the term and bringing it into focus, we can see that in English, tipo penal can be more accurately translated to “criminal offense” or “statutory offense,” referring to the specific crime defined by law.

Taking this into consideration, I offer the following contextual translation:

SOURCE
…que no causa grave daño a la salud, lo que permite la aplicación del subtipo penal atenuado, y las penas contempladas se ven notablemente reducidas respecto al tipo genérico.

TARGET
…that does not cause serious harm to health. This allows for the application of the mitigated subsection of the statute, and the sentencing provisions are significantly reduced compared to the principal offense.

Spanish term (edited): subtipo penal atenuado

extenuated [mitigating-factored] criminal sub-category

NB the passage quoted includes the qualifier of 'penal' that adds a different emphasis and may well put a different spin on the translation.

The sub-category no doubt kicks in at the criminal sentencing stage.

> atenuantes: (der.pen.) mitigating circumstances, West.
> atenuado: extenuated; mitigated, Alcaraz & Hughes.

I'm including the mitigating factor in case anyone - again - tries to plagiarise my idea.

Yours truly, Kirsty MacC in aother iteration or incarnation.
Example sentence:

he meaning of SUBCATEGORY is a category that is a subdivision of a larger category : a secondary category

US: Crimes receive different classifications according to severity. The mildest criminal offenses are infractions. More serious crimes are misdemeanors (E&W: non-serious non-arrestable). The most serious crimes are felonies (E&W: serious, arrestable)
