REFORM OF CRIMINAL POLICY OR SOMETHING ELSE? (English)

The paper reviews the criminal legal issues related to the type and the amount of the punishment that the courts determine in our country, in light of the newly enacted regulations on the manner of sentencing, which was adopted without a thorough analysis of cases from practice and without establishing certain rules in determining penalties. Because a Rulebook and its explanation can not be summoned to the particular legal theory approaches to punishment, but the practice in the United States, the author has same doubts that this by-law will contribute to strengthening the mutual trust between the parties involved in the criminal proceedings and the awareness of the common values and harmonization of the reaction of the conducts that threaten social stability, public security and wellbeing.
