Summary/Abstract: The Act of 7 July 2022 amending the Criminal Code and certain other acts introduced, for the first time since the shaping of Poland’s new political system, changes to the content of the general principles and directives governing judicial sentencing, significantly modifying the wording of Article 53 of the Criminal Code. The legislator’s intervention concerned in particular the content of the directive of individual prevention, which under the current legal state has been reduced to the requirement of taking into account, when imposing a sentence, the preventive aims that the punishment is to achieve with respect to the convicted person, thereby omitting the educational aims that had until recently been specified. This study attempts to decode the changes that have occurred in the content of the directive of individual prevention and compares them, in particular, with the provisions of supra-statutory acts.
