Summary/Abstract: Through the planned changes (January, 2012) and implemented changes (2009) the Serbian legislator significantly drifted from the original criminal policy on which the Serbian Penal Code had been built of in 2005. In this work the author explained each deficiency by critically approaching mentioned legislative activity and then he classified them into groups according to their negative effects not just on a whole Penal Code but on its original criminal policy goals. In the conclusion, the author takes a stand that these negative trends in criminal policy in the substantive criminal law occurred because the legislator recoiled before the pressure “punitive public” phenomena.
