PREVENTIVNA FUNKCIJA KRIVIČNOG PRAVA
CRIMINAL LAW AND CRIME PREVENTION

Summary/Abstract: When discussing the deterrent effects of criminal law, the aim of punishment is in the foreground. To achieve the preventive role of criminal law, of same importance are the determination of its limits, as well as the inevitable questions of criminalization and decriminalization. Rational criminal legislator has to consider the point in time and the conditions when using criminal law. Converting crime policy in security policy does not guarantee more efficient suppression of crime, and it's hostile not only to the offender, but to the entire society, creating a climate in which each citizen is seen as a potential enemy, or as someone who may violate security. Combating terrorism, organized crime, corruption and other behaviors carries risks that can be compared even to the danger which arises from these types of crime.
