Summary/Abstract: All criminal laws in modern countries provide many criminal sanctions for perpetrators of criminal offences. The most important sanctions in criminal law are penalties, which can be applied individually, cumulatively or alternatively with other sanctions. The purpose of these penalties is to reform and prevent the offender from committing a criminal offence again. Criminal law provides numerous rules for determining adequate penalties. The most important of these rules are related to mitigating and aggravating circumstances, which are enacted in Article 41 of the Basic Criminal Code (the former Criminal Code of FR Yugoslavia). In this paper, the author has analyzed the theoretical and practical aspects of mitigating and aggravating circumstances in determining penalty in our criminal and comparative criminal law.
