Predmet rada je redovno odmeravanje kazne u našem krivičnom pravu. U prvom delu rada autori će razmotriti pojam i vrste odmeravanja kazne. Analiziraće odnos zakonskog i sudskog odmeravanja kazne. U drugom delu rada će posebna pažnja biti posvećena olakšavajućim i otežavajućim okolnostima koje sud uzima u obzir pri odmeravanju kazne. To su stepen krivice, pobude iz kojih je delo učinjeno, jačina ugrožavanja ili povrede zaštićenog dobra, okolnosti pod kojima je delo učinjeno, raniji život učinioca, njegove lične prilike, njegovo držanje posle učinjenog krivičnog dela, a naročito njegov odnos prema žrtvi krivičnog dela, kao i druge okolnosti koje se odnose na ličnost učinioca. Na kraju, predstavićemo rezultate istraživanja o odmeravanju kazne u pojedinim krivičnim stvarima. Analiziraćemo 50 pravosnažnih presuda Višeg suda u Beogradu.
