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.
