Ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence adopted in 2011 creates an obligation for the Party States to take the necessary legislative or other measures to ensure that sexual harassment is subject to criminal or other legal sanctions. Bearing in mind that sexual harassment, even before the adoption of this Convention, was prescribed by the anti- discriminatory and labour laws of the Party States, the paper focuses on the analysis of normative regulation of sexual harassment in the criminal legislation of the Republic of Serbia as well as in the comparative legal solutions, with the purpose of discussing the most important controversial issues concerning this new incrimination, giving particular attention to considering key reasons of objective and subjective nature that affect the invisibility of the victims of this criminal offence. Recognizing deficiencies of the criminal law regulation of sexual harassment, above all the widespread zone of punishability, de lege ferenda proposal for a normative reformulation of the essential elements of this criminal offence is provided in the concluding considerations, with the purpose of improving its application in practice.

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.

The article raises the problem of unjustified humanization of criminal legislation and the practice of imposing a punishment. Imposing a punishment as a legal category has been extensively studied in the works of national and foreign scholars specializing in criminal law. However, despite the importance of this institution both for the convict and for the society as a whole, this penal institution remains one of the most problematic ones. The existing conflict between the current criminal policy humanism and the concept of social justice in criminal legislation, the adequacy of a punishment to the social danger of the offense being a part thereof, makes enormous harm to all law enforcement activities. It also causes negative response in the society, thus reasonably attracting a heightened attention of criminologists and experts in criminal law and procedure. The purpose of this work, as the author sees it, is trying to find feasible solutions to one of the most urgent problems of imposing a punishment. Attention is drawn to the fact that the concept of humanism has two aspects and implies, first of all, the protection of interests of law-abiding citizens. The author considers topical issues concerning the observance of the rights of victims through the solution one of the main tasks of criminal law, namely: to restore social justice by imposing a proportionate criminal punishment. Certain provisions of the theory of criminal punishment, as well as the practice of imposing punishment by the court, are studied here. Insufficient development of norms in the current criminal legislation can create problems in law enforcement, which, in turn, can lead to a significant violation of the victims’ rights. The author makes recommendations that can contribute to the improvement of the penal system consistent with the principle of humanism, considering the interests of the victims.

AbstractLaw No.10 of 2016 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents and Mayors has included criminal provisions in Chapter XXIV, of course very much more complete when compared to the criminal provisions stipulated in the Criminal Code concerning crimes against carrying out obligations and rights which are classified certain acts, but the Criminal Code is deemed no longer relevant due to the increasingly complex problems in terms of the enforcement of criminal elections and post-conflict local elections. The essence of law enforcement itself can be interpreted as an act of implementing certain legal means to impose legal sanctions to ensure compliance with a rule. So that the mandate of Article 1 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that "sovereignty is in the hands of the people and carried out according to the Constitution" reflecting democratically the regional head elections as expected.Keywords: Criminal Law Enforcement of Regional Head General Elections, State of Law and DemocracyAbstrakUndang-Undang No.10 Tahun 2016 tentang Pemilihan Gubernur, Bupati dan Walikota telah memasukkan ketentuan pidana dalam Bab XXIV, tentu saja sangat jauh lebih lengkap jika dibandingkan dengan ketentuan pidana yang diatur dalam KUHPidana tentang kejahatan terhadap melakukan kewajiban dan hak kenegaraan yang dimana memiliki klasifikasi perbuatan tertentu, namun KUHPidana dianggap tidak lagi relevan akibat semakin kompleksnya persoalan-persoalan dalam hal penegakan pidana pemilu dan pemilukada. Esensi dari penegakan hukum itu sendiri yang bisa dimaknai sebagai tindakan menerapkan perangkat sarana hukum tertentu untuk memaksakan sanksi hukum agar menjamin pentaatan terhadap suatu aturan. Sehingga    amanat Pasal 1 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 menyatakan bahwa “kedaulatan berada di tangan rakyat dan dilaksanakan menurut Undang-Undang Dasar” yang refleksikan melalui pemilihan umum kepala daerah secara demokratis berjalan sesuai yang diharapkan.Kata Kunci: Penegakan Hukum Pidana Pemilukada, Negara Hukum dan Demokrasi

Positive Effect

The urgency of the problem stated in the article is due to the fact that the widespread digitalization of the economy leads to the fact that crimes such as theft and fraud are committed using computer tools and systems. According to statistics from Kazakhstan, as a result of fraud using computer technology, damage in the amount of more than 28 billion tenge was caused, of which individuals - 24.7 billion tenge, legal entities - 1.8 billion tenge and the state - more than 1 billion tenge. In this regard, the study touched upon issues of ensuring information security and countering cyber threats. The purpose of the article is to develop effective measures to prevent the commission of fraud with the use of information technology, since theft begins from cyber attacks on information systems. In this study, methods such as comparative legal analysis and expert evaluation were used. Amendments are proposed to the criminal legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan regarding the jurisdiction of crimes, on the addition of qualifying signs, and on the need to adopt a new Law on real estate activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Amendments to the criminal law will have a positive effect on the ‘unloading’ of investigators of the internal affairs bodies, since the number of ordinary crimes related to their competence significantly exceeds the number of crimes in the sphere of economic activity. The adoption of a new law on real estate activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan will avoid the facts of re-registration of apartments for criminal purposes, the commission of fraud by realtors.
