Bail, probation and parole have one thing in common, namely, they are devices that enable a person proceeded against criminally to obtain personal liberty from detention. It is significant that each of them falls within one of the three basic phases of criminal proceedings. Bail may be obtained in the first phase extending from the beginning of the proceedings until trial or the final decision on appeal. In the second phase dealing with the final decision, a person may be admitted to probation rather than commited to jail. In the third phase covering the incarceration, a convicted person may be released on parole with respect to the final portion of his imprisonment rather than being kept in prison for the whole term imposed. This seemingly favorable treatment of offenders is based on sound reasoning, namely, since a person must be considered innocent until found guilty in court proceedings, an unnecessary detention prior to trial must be avoided. In the second phase, a minor offense may be punished by a probated sentence, i.e., the term of imprisonment will have to be served only if the person does not comply with the conditions of probation. The favor granted to the offender is designed to guide him out of trouble in the future and encourage him to abide by the law. In the third phase, parole is envisaged as a reward for good conduct and as an incentive to behave well after release. Belgian criminal law has been applying all these principles with success.

In recent years, due to a number of notorious sex offense cases against minors, a new punitive public attitude emerged in China and pressed for harsher crackdown and punishment against sex offenders. In particular, an “engagement in prostitution with a minor” law (Article 360 of the Criminal Law) was targeted as “unjust” based on the belief that offenders of such crimes often received “lenient” punishment, and many called for its abolition. In this study, based on 440 adjudicated sex offense cases, we examine potential differences across three sex offenses (including rape, child molestation, and engagement in prostitution with a minor) in the demographics of defendants and victims, offending characteristics, and trials and sentences of convicted offenders. Our empirical inquiry pointed to the unique nature of engagement in prostitution with a minor. Offenders of such crimes seemingly carried a different profile, compared with offenders of the other two sex crimes. Moreover, our data casted some doubt on the “lenient” punishment received by offenders of engagement in prostitution with a minor. Policy implications were also drawn based on our findings.

The purpose of this study is to examine the institute of coercive measures of educational influence from the perspective of the possibility of combining the criminal-law regulation and correctional influence exercised within the framework of other branches of law. The methodological basis is a longitudinal study of persons released from criminal punishment using compulsory measures of educational influence, the article analyzes the peculiarities of juvenile delinquency of a special category. The study is based on a full sample of juveniles held in closed-type special educational institutions in the Siberian Federal District (300 sentences in total) and on a sample of 100 sentences against persons subjected to the measures provided for by criminal law. The result of the study is that the regulation of coercive measures of educational influence by criminal law alone is clearly not enough; the disciplinary process requires more soft norms that would reflect the age characteristics of juveniles. The novelty of the study lies in the reasonable conclusion that such norms are contained in the administrative, civil, and family branches of law, which are involved in the subsidiary regulation of legal relations arising as a result of the release of a minor with the use of coercive measures of educational influence.

Homosexual acts between adult perpetrators need to be made a crime in Indonesia and can be based on three basic things, namely juridical, theoretical and sociological grounds. Suggestion After the authors conducted research on the regulation of homosexuals in Indonesian criminal law, the authors would like to suggest that it is necessary to criminalize a wider range of homosexual relationships than just those committed by adults with minors and also to same-sex sexual relations committed by fellow adults.

Saran Setelah penulis melakukan penelitian terhadap pengaturan homoseksual dalam hukum pidana indonesia, maka penulis ingin memberi saran yaitu bahwa perlu dilakukan kriminalisasi yang lebih luas terhadap hubungan homoseksual dari sekedar yang dilakukan oleh orang dewasa dengan anak dibawah umur diperluas juga terhadap hubungan seksual sesama jenis  yang dilakukan oleh sesama orang dewasa.

The article examines the effectiveness of existing criminal legal instruments of educational influence on minors. On the basis of the analysis of strategic planning documents affecting children, changes in criminal and other federal legislation on the basis of the system for the prevention of juvenile neglect and delinquency, it is concluded that the task of bringing the legislation in question in line with international standards has not yet been solved. Criminal legislation in this area is not impeccable and needs to be finalized. Judicial statistics show a low demand for warning as an educational measure. At the same time, criminal legislation does not regulate a specific form of warning and does not answer the question of what negative consequences for a minor may occur if they have not made appropriate conclusions from the declared warning, but have not yet committed a new crime. In addition, the question of the element of coercion in the structure of this measure is raised, and the difficulties of its application are indicated, taking into account the existence in criminal law of rules on the insignificance of the act. It is proposed to remove warning from the list of compulsory measures of educational influence. Based on the analysis of the practice of implementing the obligation to make amends for the harm caused, it is concluded that the coercive element in the structure of this measure is conditional in cases when compensation is paid not by minors themselves, but by their parents. In this part, the measure in question seems ineffective. When considering the provisions governing the transfer of a minor to the surveillance of parents or other persons replacing them, attention is drawn to the absence of the types and limits of surveillance and control clearly defined in the law. In addition, it is concluded that there is a conflict that arises between the rules of criminal procedure law, which provides for negative consequences from failure to comply with the measure imposed on minors, and the provisions of criminal law, according to which the duties are imposed not on the minor, but on third parties. In the light of judicial statistics showing that it is extremely rare for minors to be sentenced to imprisonment for crimes of moderate gravity, the relevance of the provisions of the criminal law providing for the possibility of placing minors who have committed crimes in this category in a special educational facility of a closed type is questioned.

Article 2 of Law No. 51 / PRP / 1960 concerning Prohibition of Use of Land without a Right of Permit or Proxy, Article 167 of the Criminal Code, Article 385 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code. Factors causing land ownership without rights are: Lack of community legal awareness and lack of community legal knowledge.
