Theoretical and practical recommendations on improving of legislation on criminal punishment
Journal Title: Юридические науки и образование - Year 2018, Vol 55, Issue 55
Abstract
Before defining the character of punishment, the legislator should take into account the level of development of the nation in its broadest sense. In other words, punishment must match the level of public morals and promote human values on the one hand, and the features of character, psychology, traditions and customs of the people on the other. It is harmful to blindly copy the practice of punishment in other countries, particularly in Europe, unless this is for the sake of political self-promotion of course. The public impact on offenders is effective where the level of ethics and morality of society is high. It is still too early to talk about shifting the centre of gravity from the deterrent of the preventive impact on public shaming and the moral pressure of society. We therefore should not forget that punishment still offers the strongest means to prevent crimes.
