The punishment for a crime must contain a prognosis not only for the guilty. It must affect the individual and society, ensuring that the sanction imposed is appropriate and considered fair. The topic has its roots and basis in the philosophy of criminal law, its content in the current rules in this area and its future - in the necessary changes in legislation. The book is intended not only for lawyers tempted by criminal law, but also for a wider range of readers who are not unfamiliar with the problems of punishing a crime.
