The System of Sanctions and Sentencing Policy in the Republic of North Macedonia
Sat, September 6, 8:00 to 9:15am, Deree | Classrooms, DC 608Abstract
In the paper the authors analyse the legislative and judicial penal policy. The authors refer to the aims of punishment in the Republic of North Macedonia that are determined in the Criminal Code, just desert, deterrence and rehabilitation.
The authors give brief overview of the determined punishments in the Criminal Code and also, they analyse the sanctions that are imposed by the courts in the country by type and length and according to the types of criminal offences committed. In order to carry out consistent conclusions, the paper also analyses some important phenomenological features of the crime in Macedonia.
For the purpose of the analysis of the penal policy in the Republic of North Macedonia, official statistical data of the State Statistical Office of the Republic of North Macedonia in the period from 2014 to 2023 are used.
This research is particularly important because the analysis of the court's criminal policy is important to evaluate the effectiveness of various sanctions. The relationship between the judicial sentencing policy and crime rates can be significant to extrapolate the effectiveness of various sanctions and to demonstrate to what extent particular sanctions are applied.
The analysis of the legislative and judicial penal policy is important to evaluate the efficacy of the different sanctions and weather they protect the public interest. On the other hand, the impact of the public interest and the public opinion in general is of great importance for amending the legislative, but also the judicial penal policy into more severe sentencing. In practice, the impact was confirmed in particular crimes, such as the paedophilia, crimes against traffic, etc.
