This paper addresses the issue of suspended sentence since it is a criminal sanction frequently applied in Serbia and statutory provisions regulating suspended sentence are also subject to frequent modification which altogether emphasizes the need of its continuous study. Within the general purpose of criminal sanctions, the purpose of a suspended sentence is to avoid imposing the sentence on an offender for a minor offence in cases when it can be reasonably expected that a warning with a threatened sentence shall suffice to prevent the offender from perpetrating other crimes. Suspended sentence can be granted only when the offender has been sentenced to less than two years imprisonment, however, on condition (which was tightened in 2019) that the crime does not fall within the category of criminal offences for which an eight-year prison sentence (before it was 10 years) or longer can be delivered. Subjective reasons due to which suspended sentence cannot be granted have been also extended, so therefore, suspended sentence can be granted only if more than five years have elapsed from the time the judgment became final by which the offender was sentenced either to imprisonment or was pronounced a suspended sentence for a crime with premeditated intent. In view of the fact that a fine is still a form of punishment and, accordingly, a stricter criminal sanction than suspended sentence which is a non-custodial measure meaning a more lenient sanction, it would be quite acceptable if the legislator, as a limiting factor, also envisaged a fine for a crime with premediated intent. As regards a five year term calculated from the finality of judgment, a better solution would be that the period be calculated from the day of the sentence being served, prescribed or the day a pardon has been granted, i.e. from the day when the adherence monitoring period to probation conditions has expired. Furthermore, recently introduced statutory solutions would result in decrease in the number of suspended sentences in criminal sanctions structure. When it comes to suspended sentence supervision order, as it is rarely applied, it is necessary that minimum effort be invested in providing material conditions and human resources for carrying out this sanction which was found to be effective in many countries. A serious omission of legislators is that the Criminal Procedure Code, when defining the institution of hearing for pronouncing a criminal sanction, leaves an option to the public prosecutor to propose passing of a suspended sentence with determining fine, which is contrary to the Criminal Code. This omission should be corrected by giving priority to the Criminal Code i.e. by excluding the option for the public prosecutor to propose such a sanction.

Permasalahan utama dalam penelitian ini adalah ketidaktepatan penjatuhan pidana oleh Hakim kepada pelaku dalam kasus pencurian dengan pemberatan pada Putusan Nomor 143/Pid.B/2015/PN.Dmk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis faktor yang melatarbelakangi terjadinya pencurian dengan pemberatan dan pertimbangan Hakim dalam menjatuhkan pidana terhadap pelaku dalam Putusan Nomor 143/Pid.B/2015/PN.Dmk. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang melatarbelakangi terjadinya tindak pidana pencurian dengan pemberatan dalam putusan Nomor 143/Pid.B/2015/PN.Dmk oleh AD sebagai pelaku turut serta melakukan pencurian dengan pemberatan yaitu disebabkan oleh faktor ekonomi karena ia merupakan tulang punggung keluarga dan harus memenuhi kebutuhan hidup baik untuk dirinya maupun keluarganya. Kemudian, oleh karena semua unsur dalam dakwaan primair telah terpenuhi, Hakim menjatuhkan pidana kepada pelaku dengan dakwaan kesatu yaitu pelaku melanggar Pasal 363 Ayat (1) Ke-3, Ke-4, dan Ke-5 KUHP. Hakim sudah tepat mengambil keputusan yaitu mengadili pelaku dengan tindak pidana pencurian dalam keadaan memberatkan akan tetapi hukuman yang dijatuhkan oleh Hakim sangatlah minim dan lebih rendah dari apa yang dituntut oleh Jaksa Penuntut Umum karena pelaku sebelum melakukan tindak pidana pencurian dengan pemberatan baru saja keluar dari Lembaga Pemasyarakatan (Lapas) dengan kasus Penggelapan dalam Putusan Nomor 133/Pid.B/2014/PN.Pti dan sudah pernah dihukum. Maka dari itu, hukuman yang diberikan kepada pelaku tidaklah sebanding dengan apa yang dilakukannya dan sebaiknya Hakim juga mempertimbangkan dampak dan kerugian yang ditimbulkan bagi korban akibat perbuatan pelaku.AbstractThe main problem in this research is the inaccuracy of the sentence handed down by the judge to the perpetrator of the robbery case weighing Decision Number 143/Pid.B/ 2015/PN.Dmk. This study aims to see and analyze the factors underlying the weighted actions and judges' considerations in imposing crimes against the perpetrators of Decision Number 143/Pid.B/2015/PN.Dmk. The results showed that the factors behind the occurrence of criminal acts of theft with weighting in the decision Number 143/Pid.B/2015/PN.Dmk by AD as the perpetrator participated in committing theft with weight, namely due to economic factors because he was the backbone of the family and had to meet the necessities of life both for himself and his family. Then, because all the elements in the primair indictment had been fulfilled, the Judge sentenced the perpetrator to the first charge, namely the perpetrator violating Article 363 Paragraph (1) 3rd, 4th, and 5th of the Criminal Code. The judge has made the right decision, namely trying the perpetrator with a criminal act of theft in burdensome circumstances, but the sentence handed down by the Judge is very minimal and lower than what is demanded by the Public Prosecutor because the perpetrator before committing the crime of theft with weight has just left the Penitentiary (Lapas) with embezzlement cases in Decision Number 133/Pid.B/2014/PN.Pti and have already been convicted. Therefore, the sentence given to the perpetrator is not proportional to what he has done and the judge should also consider the impact and harm caused to the victim as a result of the perpetrator's actions.

Almost All

According to Article 13 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal in the determination of any criminal charge against him. The essence of both provisions could be rephrased by saying that criminal sanctions may only be imposed on a person by an independent and impartial tribunal and only if that person has been able to defend himself against a charge during a hearing that satisfies all requirements of a fair trial.Realities, of course, are rather different. In almost all national systems of justice there is an increasing tendency to develop procedures that allow for imposing sanctions without the necessity of a criminal trial. Their main purpose is usually to relieve the system of a burden of cases with which it cannot really cope. Basically, there are two strategies to reduce the workload of courts and public prosecutors. The first is to invite the suspect to waive his right to trial in exchange for certain favours. This usually occurs in the form of an agreement between the public prosecutor and the suspect, while quite often the cooperation of the court that would have tried the case is also required. The second solution is to grant sanctioning powers to administrative bodies and to allow individual persons an appeal against their decisions to an independent and impartial tribunal.

This study aims to contribute to Islamic law regarding the criminal sanction of abortion in the Criminal Code (KUHP) as an effort to reform Indonesian criminal law. The method used is comparison, with data collection carried out by library research, by studying Islamic legal literature, interpretation of the Quran (tafsir), hadith, Criminal Code, and the Draft of Criminal Code. The sanctions for abortion in articles 346, 347, 348 and 349 of the Criminal Code are only imprisonment, not accompanied by fines. According to Islamic law these sanctions are not sufficient, because they tend to make the perpetrators not deterred, as a result the purpose of punishment is not achieved. Therefore, it needs to be updated by including the value of Islamic legal sanctions in the form of fines (diat), so that the purpose of punishment can be achieved.

The Republic

The rule that convicted persons serve their sentences exclusively in prisons has not been valid in the Republic of Serbia for a long time. Prison sentences may also be executed in the premises where the convicted person resides. Such a solution is introduced by the 2009 Law on Amendments and Supplements to the Criminal Code. The Criminal Code does not prescribe the punishment of a prison sentence served in the premises where the convicted person resides as a special punishment. Instead, the offender is sentenced to imprisonment, which is then executed in the premises where he lives. In criminal proceedings, the court is obliged to individualize the criminal sanction in a way that takes into account objective and subjective circumstances - the circumstances relating to the committed crime and its perpetrator. There are such perpetrators who it is necessary to sentence to prison, but who should not be sent to a penal institution. The prison sentence may also be served in premises where they reside (with or without electronic surveillance). Although, in a legally-binding sentence, the accused is sentenced to imprisonment in a penal institution, this does not necessarily mean that he will be placed into a penal institution to serve his sentence. The amendments and supplements of the Criminal Code leave an "opportunity" for the convict to serve his sentence in the premises where he resides, if the prescribed conditions are met. This is only a possibility which may be decided on by the judge in charge of executing criminal sanctions. If it is decided that the convicted person shall serve his sentence in the premises where he resides, the next step is the execution of the sentence. Not all convicted persons who are serving their sentence in this way are in the same legal position, as there is individualization in the process of executing a sentence as well. This difference is apparent, above all, in the amount of time that a convict is allowed to spend outside of the premises in which he resides. The focus of the authors' attention is precisely the punishment of imprisonment served in the premises where the convict resides (the so-called house arrest). The authors deal with material aspects and aspects of execution of the sentence. This paper focuses, among other matters, on the conditions for sentencing, models of execution of the sentence and the legal position of the convicted person while serving his sentence.
