The article will also discuss selected legal measures to prevent secondary victimisation of victims of sexual crimes, as provided for by substantive criminal law and criminal procedure. The character of the article is theoretical, but it describes the problem not only from the perspective of Polish law, but also from a socio-ethical perspective.

History Of

The three articles offered in this forum on the early history of criminal appeals do us the great service of adding much of interest on this important but neglected issue in the development of Anglo–North American criminal procedure. The opaqueness of the legal history of criminal appeals stands in stark contrast to their centrality and apparent naturalness in contemporary criminal justice systems in England, Canada, and the United States. These three papers look at the period leading up to and immediately following the creation of the first formalized system of what we might call criminal appeals, the establishment of the Court of Crown Cases Reserved (CCCR) in 1848. This key period in the development of the adversary criminal trial was marked by both a concerted political effort to codify and rationalize the criminal law and by profound structural changes in the management of criminal justice.

<p>Penjatuhan sanksi pidana terhadap pelaku kejahatan kesusilaan pada anak di Indonesia belum seimbang dengan dampak yang ditimbulkannya. Adapun anak sebagai korban dari kejahatan kesusilaan tentu mengalami trauma yang berkepanjangan hingga dewasa bahkan seumur hidupnya. Salah satu upaya yang dapat ditempuh dalam menghadapi problematika penegakan hukum adalah dengan cara pembenahan sistem hukum. Oleh karna itu perlu adanya pembaharuan sanksi pidana bagi pelaku kejahatan kesusilaan sebagai bagian dari sistem hukum. Pembaharuan ini perlu dilakukan karena sanksi pidana yang ada saat ini tidak memberikan efek jera bagi pelaku. Upaya pembaruan hukum pidana yang berkaitan dengan sanksi pidana dalam kasus kejahatan kesusilaan pada anak dapat ditelusuri berdasarkan perumusan sanksi pidana berdasarkan KUHP, UU Nomor 23 Tahun 2002 tentang Perlindungan Anak, UU Nomor 35 Tahun 2014 tentang perubahan pertama atas UU Nomor 23 Tahun 2002 tentang Perlindungan Anak, dan Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang (Perppu) No. 1 Tahun 2016 tentang Perubahan Kedua atas Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2002 tentang Perlindungan Anak.

The Creation

One of the directions for improving the enforcement mechanism (criminal law norms) is the creation of a simplified pre-trial procedure for resolving simple criminal- legal disputes. The author makes several suggestions for creating such a procedure. This implies increased competition in the legal organization of pre-trial proceedings and the emergence of the possibility of replacing the criminal law measure of liability with administrative law or civil law.

Theory Of Law

The authors use a communicative approach to the theory of law in their analysis of criminal procedure policy and its role in crime prevention. This approach allowed them to determine the content of criminal procedure work that lies outside the scope of criminal law. This content is its ability to regulate social conflicts of criminal law character. Within this framework, the criminal procedure is viewed as a platform for resolving social conflicts, the sides use it to resolve a conflict between them in socially acceptable ways in the process of communication. The involvement of the aggrieved party in the process of communication in connection with the crime intensifies the correctional impact of the criminal process and its significance for crime prevention. The authors suggest using simplified measures of criminal procedure law for reforming this process and basing it on the procedure of terminating a criminal case with the imposition of a court fine as a measure of criminal law influence. They suggest using the same approach when terminating a criminal case due to the reconciliation of the sides, with one exception: during the reconciliation of the sides, only grounds provided for in Art. 76 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation should be proven. If they are established, the investigator is obliged to petition to the court and the court, having established their validity, should decide to terminate the criminal case.

Definition Of

CRIMINAL CONSEQUENCES OF FORMAL OFFENCESSummaryThe author discusses the concept of criminal consequence in Polish law. Debate is still going on in the theory and jurisdiction of Polish criminal law on whether a particular crime or offence should be classified as formal (przestępstwa formalne) or as consequential (przestępstwa skutkowe – viz. crimes/offences incurring criminal consequences; cf. inchoate crimes or offences). A point which turns out to be particularly problematic in this respect is the definition of criminal consequence, to enable a distinction to be drawn between formal and consequential (inchoate) offences/crimes. The author concludes that in practice all offences and crimes have a consequence. If a state in which a specific danger has emerged may be treated as a criminal consequence, it should also be admissible to treat a state in which an abstract danger has been created as a criminal consequence. Viewed from this aspect, all crimes are formal; for instance incitement is committed the moment when its perpetrator addresses words encouraging the commission of a crime to another person.
