DEVELOPMENT OF CRIMINAL SANCTIONS IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA IN THE PERIOD AFTER WORLD WAR UNTIL TODAY

Abstract

During the last decade the legislative changes that were related to the criminal legislation had marginally affected the sanctions, but that was not the case in earlier periods of the development of this area of law. In modern history, which to a certain extent can be considered to cover a period after the Second World War, the criminal legislation of Yugoslavia, and of course Serbia as the successor state, had a significant change in terms of the formation and disappearance of some sanctions. In this research, the period of development of criminal sanctions immediately after the Second World War until today has been reviewed. The idea of research was not only to show their development in terms of legislative predictions but also to consider the individual influences that were of importance. Aim of the study is to create the aforementioned reviewing basic knowledge of the development of criminal sanctions in domestic criminal law, in order to better understand the theoretical aspects of their legal positive predictions, but also to some extent in order to anticipate their future development.
