Sprečavanje i suzbijanje krivičnog dela ubistva

Abstract

Autor u radu razmatra sredstva koja stoje na raspolaganju savremenom društvu u sprečavanju i suzbijanju kriminaliteta sa aspekta krivičnog dela ubistva kao jednog od najtežih krivičnih dela. Posebna pažnja posvećena je osnovnim principima politike suzbijanja kriminaliteta i njihovom odnosu prema pomenutom deliktu. Naglasak je stavljen na značaj koji prevencija može imati u suzbijanju krivičnog dela ubistva, kao i njenu interakciju sa represijom. Značajno mesto u radu zauzima i pregled istorijskog razvoja kažnjavanja za krivično delo ubistva, kao i pregled kažnjavanja u uporednom pravu. Na kraju izlaganja autor ukazuje kako se na području Srbije kreće politika kažnjavanja za ovo teško krivično delo. Pritome, pažnja je usmerena i na zakonodavnu kaznenu politiku i na sudsku kaznenu politiku.

Among all criminal offences, criminal homicide is thought to be one of the most serious. It includes deprivation of the most fundamental, the most elementary and the most important human right, i. e. right to life. Today there is no criminal legislation that is not protecting this man’s good as the most valuable. By each criminal homicide our humanity is deprived of one member of its community, and the man is deprived of his life, which is an irreparable harm. Therefore, special attention is paid to criminal homicide in the theory of criminal law as well as in legislation and in practice. Studying the penal policy concerning these crimes, we tried to find out characteristics and tendencies of the penal policy of courts during their proceedings as well as type and amount of imposed criminal penalties. We are not going to ignore here the importance that prevention, general and special, could have in suppression of this type of crime. Studying the penal policy concerning these crimes was supported by data of the Institute for Statistics of the Republic of Serbia. We used data concerning crimes against persons in Serbia from 1993 to 2002. This period was considered long enough to establish some tendencies of penal policy.
