Journal Title: Godisnjak Fakulteta pravnih nauka - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 5

Abstract

This paper deals with some alternative sanctions of the criminal legislation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Author pays attention to, first of all, replacing short-term imprisonment with the common good in freedom and house arrest with electronic surveillance, which was recently introduced in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the replacement of short-term prison sentence with a fine. Pointing out the scientific understanding of the need for the development and introduction of alternative sanctions and binding international documents, he examines the limitations of the existing legal desicions, the legislator notes inertia and resistance to general and political public for the legal solutions to be implemented in life. Finally, in the conclusion he says that there is a gap between law and reality that threatens the goal and purpose of alternative sanctions and also the fulfillment of international obligations which Bosnia and Herzegovina has taken in this area.
