Pravo - teorija i praksa vol. 37 br. 1 str. 1-20 Đuričić, Nada Tahirović, Mirela https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:1977 doi:10.5937/ptp2001001D ISSN: 0352-3713 eng 2020 ABSTRACT: The subject of the paper is the general and specific purpose of criminal sanctions in the law of the Republic of Serbia, with a brief overview of certain characteristics of criminal sanctions, and in order to better understanding them. Achieving the purpose of prescribing and im- posing criminal sanctions contributes to the realization of the basic func- tion of criminal law, which is aimed at combating crime. Reducing crime is necessary, but as it is a complex phenomenon, achieving this goal is not easy, and understanding the purpose of criminal sanctions can contribute to a more successful application of criminal law and, to that end, to more successfully counteractof this negative phenomenon. REZIME: Predmet rada je opšta i posebna svrha krivičnih sankcija u pra- vu Republike Srbije, uz kratak prikaz određenih karakteristika krivičnih sankcija, a u cilju njihovog boljeg razumevanja. Ostvarenje svrhe propisi- vanja i izricanja krivičnih sankcija doprinosi ostvarenju osnovne funkcije krivičnog prava, koja je usmerena na suzbijanje kriminaliteta. Smanjenje kriminaliteta je neophodno, ali kako je u pitanju kompleksna pojava, os- tvarenje ovog cilja nije lako, a razumevanje svrhe krivičnih sankcija može da doprinese uspešnijoj primeni krivičnog prava i u tom smislu uspešnijem suzbijanju ove negativne pojave. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode Purpose of criminal sanctions in the law of the Republic of Serbia Svrha krivičnih sankcija u pravu Republike Srbije application/pdf 371035 bytes info:eu-repo/semantics/review Keywords: criminal sanctions, purpose of criminal sanctions Ključne reči: krivične sankcije, svrha krivičnih sankcija
