The Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia from 2005 (which went into effect on January 1st, 2006) has envisaged a particular basis for remittance of punishment which had been unknown in our criminal law. It is about settlement between the offender and the victim, an institution reflecting ideas of restorative justice. Although the settlement between the offender and the victim offers great possibilities, it has not received enough attention in our criminal law literature. We usually come across perfunctory elaboration of the matter, which is justified by insufficient regulations. Thus numerous questions and dilemmas related to the implementation of this institution are being opened, so we will try to give answers to these questions in this paper, that is, to give some solutions for the dilemmas, relying on the positive law of the Republic of Serbia.

Abstract: The State of Indonesia is a state of law, the affirmation of this can be seen in Article 1 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The settlement of cases through the judicial system which results in a court verdict is law enforcement towards the slow path. This is because law enforcement through a long-distance, through various levels starting from the Police, Attorney General's Office, District Court, High Court and even to the Supreme Court which ultimately has an impact on the accumulation of cases which are not small in number in the Court and not to mention other effects. For this reason, it is necessary to proceed with the steps to compile invitations concerning the rights and obligations of citizens in the context of implementing the Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.

Related to the Political Law of Criminal Law Renewal in the upcoming National Criminal Law there is a concept known as the Restorative Justice concept. Restorative Justice involves restoring relations between the victim and the perpetrator. The restoration of this relationship can be based on mutual agreement between the victim and the perpetrator. The victim can convey about the loss he suffered and the perpetrator was given the opportunity to make it up, through compensation mechanisms, peace, social work, and other agreements. Keywords: Restorative Justice; Legal Reform; RKUHP

The author tried to outline the status of crime victims in Macedonian criminal and juvenile legislation by analyzing three legal texts referring to legal protection of victims under criminal law in the Republic of Macedonia (the Criminal Code, the Law on Criminal Procedure Act and the Law on Juvenile Justice). The basic questions which have been analyzed from the criminal substantial aspect include: the rights and interests of the victims as a consistent part of contemporary criminal policy and Criminal Code reforms, the elements of diversion model based on concept of restorative justice in criminal legislation and victimology aspects of some significant novelties in the special part of criminal law. In this article two dimensions dealing with a change of status of damaged person in criminal procedure of the Republic of Macedonia have been analyzed, while taking into consideration new trends and comparative experiences in this field. One dimension is the role of the damaged person and incorporation of elements of restorative justice in the criminal procedure, while the other dimension includes help and support of the victims and prevention of their secondary victimization. While analyzing suitable provisions of the Law on Juvenile Justice, the author focuses on its solutions that deserve more attention because of its innovations. The consequent realization of the concept on which this law is based on, and in which the victim, at the same time, has a significant role is another confirmation of the rule that the changes of juvenile legislation creates good basis for future reforms of criminal legislation regarding the adult offenders.

The study deals with the issue of whether the norms of criminal law make a distinction between male and female sex with regard to the perpetrator of the criminal offence as well as with regard to the victim of the criminal offence and also the issue of whether male or female sex have any role in the criminal law. It is with this objective in mind that the author analyzed the provisions of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Croatia and statistical data on total crime in the Republic of Croatia and the relation between male and female perpetrators of criminal offences. The statistical data reveal that men commit a far greater number of offences than women. Apart from this, women and men also differ according to the type of the criminal offence they tend to commit. Women as perpetrators of criminal offences that involve the element of violence are very rare. At the same time, women are very often victims of violent offences perpetrated by men, which leads us to the term of gender-based violence. Although significant steps forward have been made at the normative level in the Republic of Croatia in defining and sanctioning of genderbased violence, gender stereotypes can still be observed in practice when sexual crimes are in question so that we can witness domestic violence on a daily basis. All of this leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to make further efforts in order to remove all obstacles that prevent changes in social relations and ensure equality between women and men, not only de jure but also de facto.

This scientific article analyzes the basic features and elements of the criminal offense of insult from the theoretical and normative aspect, with specific reference to the analysis of the conditions necessary for the application of the special legal ground for excluding illegality of offensive speech, stipulated in Article 170 (4) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia. Relying on the critical analysis of national criminal legislation and a brief review of national courts’ practice, the author points out to the contradiction of adopted legal standpoints when interpreting the disputed provisions, and emphasizes the importance of ensuring uniform and consistent court practice in this field. Proper and complete consideration of the criminal offense of insult, and especially the ground for excluding the illegality of the taken actions, stipulated in the provisions of Article 170 (4) of the Serbian Criminal Code, calls for precise interpretation of these provisions. Inadequate conduct of judicial bodies entails the possibility of convicting the perpetrator of the criminal offense of insult, even if the requisite conditions prescribed in the positive law have not been satisfied.

Studying of issues regarding criminal infractions – whether intended or imprudent – plays quite a significant role. Fundamental changes taking part in world economy and politics, globalization processes, as well as internal dynamics of country development, undoubtedly, have impact on national legal framework, including criminal law. Therefore, the main goal of the present paper is the analysis of legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan regarding criminal infractions and the law enforcement practice. To reach this goal authors have used methods of comparison, analysis and data systematization. As a result it has been found that in Kazakhstan there are at average 4,3 registered criminal infractions per a convict. The term of criminal infraction has appeared in the Criminal Code in 2014 to cover offences of small gravity and administrative violations that cannot be referred to the sphere of state administration. Authors have revealed the punishment in the present day Kazakhstan is not a main form of criminal responsibility realization. In the majority of cases linked to criminal infractions the persons committed them are relieved from criminal responsibility at the stage of prejudicial inquiry.

The main principles of draft legislation concerning juvenile liability under criminal law formulated at the beginning of the Second Polish RepublicThe paper is devoted to the main principles of draft legislation concerning juvenile liability under criminal law formulated in the early days of the Second Polish Republic. The author discusses the most important legal terms and constructs of the drafts formulated by Józef Reinhold and the Codification Commission of the Republic of Poland.He demonstrates that juvenile liability under criminal law was presented in a concise and clear manner in the draft regulations, with the legislators reaching a compromise over the latest views of the proponents of the legal doctrine at the time and making a creative use of the solutions used in other countries as well as these countries’ experiences. The aim of the Polish proposals was, first of all, to reform the juvenile offenders and not to put them in prison. The reform of criminal law applying to juveniles was meant to formulate special legal regulations as well as an autonomous adjudication procedure. It should be emphasised that the suggestions formulated in the Polish legal doctrine and legislation in the inter-war period were taken into account in the Polish Criminal Code of 1932 and still constitute the basis for dealing with juveniles committing criminal offences.Hauptgrundsätze der zu Beginn der Zweiten Polnischen Republik ausgearbeiteten Gesetzesvorschläge betreffend die strafrechtliche Verantwortung MinderjährigerDie Bearbeitung betrifft die Hauptgrundsätze der Projekte betreffend die strafrechtliche Verantwortung von Minderjährigen, die in den Anfängen der Zweiten Polnischen Republik ausgearbeitet wurden. Besprochen wurden die wichtigsten Begriffe und Rechtskonstruktionen des Projektes von Józef Reinhold und der Kodifikationskommission der Republik Polen.Es wurde bewiesen, dass die strafrechtliche Verantwortung von Minderjährigen in den polnischen Entwürfen synthetisch und durchsichtig ausgedrückt wurde. Sie berücksichtigten auch die neusten Meinungen der damaligen Doktrin des Strafrechtes und nutzten kreativ die entsprechenden Lösungen und Erfahrungen anderer Staaten. Das Ziel der in Polen ausgearbeiteten Lösungen war die Besserung der minderjährigen Straftäter und nicht ihre Bestrafung mit dem Freiheitsentzug. Die Reform des Strafrechtes für Minderjährige führte zur Aussonderung spezieller rechtlicher Regulierungen und einer autonomen Entscheidungsart. Zu betonen ist, dass die in der polnischen Rechtslehre und in der Gesetzgebung zu den Anfängen der Zwischenkriegszeit des 20. Jahrhunderts ausgearbeiteten Forderungen in dem polnischen Strafgesetzbuch aus dem Jahre 1932 berücksichtigt wurden und weiterhin eine Verfahrensgrundlage bei straffälligen Minderjährigen darstellen.
