KRIMINALNO POLITIČKE IDEJE U RADOVIMA PROFESORA ZORANA STOJANOVIĆA
CRIMINAL POLICY IDEAS IN PROFESSOR STOJANOVIĆ WORKS

Summary/Abstract: And the shortest insight into some of the papers that professor Zoran Stojanović has dealt with in criminal political topics shows that for thirty years he consistently advocated ideas of criminal and selective minimalism, plead for the reduction of the criminal reaction to the limits determined by the principle of ultima ratio. Already in his first papers, he points to the tendency of criminal legal expansionism in which the norms of this branch of law begin to be used as a means to solve the accumulated problems arising from the crisis of modern society. In an effort to convince citizens that they are doing everything they can to make their sense of vulnerability, government representatives resort to the means that require the least effort: to amend criminal legislation whose incriminations spread a zone of punishability, and the changes in the sanctions system foresee increasingly severe penalties. Therefore, this trend is not only the result of incompetence, but is even more a result of political manipulation. Therefore, instead of the deliberate action of social subjects that should eliminate factors that, for example, lead to violence against peers or in the family, into organized crime and corruption – they resort to retribution and the construction of an omnipotent system of social control.
