Summary/Abstract: From the earliest times to the present day all countries, including the Swiss Confederation, apply different types of measures and criminal sanctions in elimination of various forms and types of crime. In contemporary criminal law is by its very nature, character, and character, the fact the contents and conditions of application stand out warning measures. These are the various sanctions that do not deprive the perpetrator of its freedom, its freedoms and rights recognised by constitution and law are not limited nor taken away, but is informed that those freedoms and rights shall be taken away if he/ she commits a crime again or does not fulfil other set obligations. When talking about measures warning the most legislations recognize two types of sanctions. These are: a) suspended sentence that can occur in several shapes and forms and b) judicial admonition (reprimand). The most important and most frequently used measure of warning, however, and the general type of criminal sanctions today is suspended sentence. This is a conditional delay of execution or of imprisonment (and - or fines) for some time - probation - under certain conditions. In fact, it is a partial and conditional suspension of imposed or determined sentence provided that the convicted person for a period of time does not commit another criminal offense. Otherwise, a suspended sentence is revoked, a convicted person completes determined or prescribed punishment. The concept, characteristics and content of suspended sentence in the Swiss criminal law is discussed in this paper.
