KUĆNI ZATVOR KAO ALTERNATIVNA KRIVIČNA SANKCIJA U REPUBLICI SRBIJI
HOUSE PRISON AS AN ALTERNATIVE CRIMINAL SANCTION IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

Summary/Abstract: House arrest as one of the types of alternative criminal sanctions represents one of the forms of the concept of sanctions, based on the assumption that the goals of punishing certain perpe-trators of criminal offenses can be achieved in conditions that are less restrictive than imprisonment. The reasons for striving for a preventive component of punishment, among other things, lie in the negative effects of prison sentences on the convict, his family and the social community. In the criminal legislation of the Republic of Serbia, alternative criminal sanctions are provided for: Imprisonment in the premises where the convicted person lives or so-called home prison, Punishment for work in the public interest, Punishment for revocation of driver’s license, Settlement of the perpetrator and the injured party, and Conditional sentence with protective supervision. House imprisonment was introduced into the Criminal Code of the RS with amendments from September 3, 2009. year, in such a way that it is provided as a way of executing the imposed prison sentence of up to one year, and not as an independent sanction.
