Sanctions policy and its application
Annotation
The monograph summarizes the main findings from the research project solved in IKSP. It offers not only more general reflections on the concept of the criminal code, its starting points and the new elements it has brought, but also focuses, for example, on selected alternative sanctions, analyzes and evaluates the knowledge obtained by researching their application. Special attention is paid here to the issue of juveniles and the recidivism of offenders in relation to the sanctions applied to them. It also looks at the protective measures of security detention. The counterpart to the evaluation of findings from the analysis of sanctions policy, sanctions and their application in judicial practice, is the analysis of the public's opinions on the sanctions policy and the opinions of persons sentenced to unconditional imprisonment. It is, in a certain sense, a mirror that the public holds up to the sanctions policy. That the picture of sanctions policy in this mirror is not objective is obvious – therefore the research and also this final synthesis deal with the way in which most information about sanctions policy and sanctions reaches the public through the media. In the final summary, topics that emerged from the research findings in relation to possible corrections of the sanctioning policy and proposals for measures, or de lege ferenda initiatives, are presented.
