    Study Notes

    General Theory of Criminal Punishment

    • Criminal punishment is society's response to violating criminal rules. It aims to correct psychological issues that led to the crime, preventing future offenses.
    • Punishment takes two forms: punishment and precautionary measures. Both aim to combat crime. Punishment requires a prior crime.
    • Punishment is always imposed on those legally responsible for the crime, aiming for deterrence, justice, and to confront the perpetrator's wrongdoing. Precautionary measures address criminal risk, emphasizing reform, and can be imposed on those not legally responsible.
    • Precautionary measures differ from procedural measures: precautionary measures, like penalties, are imposed by judicial ruling. Procedural measures, such as those in the criminal procedure code (e.g., Article 201, 208 (bis A), are measures taken by investigating authorities during preliminary investigations. These are for a specific purpose during an investigation (e.g., preventing the accused from leaving).

    Difference Between Punishment and Precautionary Measures

    • Punishment's reason is the prior commission of a specific crime.
    • Precautionary measures' reason is the possibility of a future crime.
    • Punishment's basis is criminal wrongdoing.
    • Precautionary measures' basis is criminal risk.

    Elements of Punishment

    • Punishment is inherently characterized by pain, intended to address a crime. It achieves this by infringing on an offender's rights or restricting their uses.
    • Pain in punishment must be intended, meaning its primary goal is to inflict pain, to counteract the harm done by the criminal act.
    • The punishment's pain must be proportionate to the crime. A balance must be struck between the severity of punishment and the harm caused. This task is complex and falls to the legislator, who sets minimums and maximums or combines them.

    Purpose of Punishment

    • Punishment's aim is to deter the offender and others (general & specific deterrence) while correcting behavior.
    • Precautionary measures aim to correct and reform the offender.
