The aim of the article is to determine whether statutory indications of sentencing enable the court – and if they do, to what extent – to make the correct choice with regard to the type of sentence. The analysis leads to the conclusion that although the normative presence of the said regulations prevents the courts from exceeding their discretion, their practical usefulness is highly doubtful. An attempt to translate the meaning of the said provisions to the specific type of sentence turns out to be an extremely complex process. Additionally, there are controversies regarding empirically confirmed cases when during sentencing judges make reference to an informal penalty classification in the form of their personal knowledge or life and work experience.

This article addresses selected issues related to the status of the minor and the ju­venile from the perspective of criminal liability. While analyzing the issues indicated in the title references have been made not only to Article 10 § 2 and 3 of the Criminal Code, but also to Article 54 of the Criminal Code, which contains two specific directives of the judicial imposition of asentence on juvenile offenders.

The present paper was devoted to the issue of general directives of judicial sentencing. Assuming that such a status is held by the indications enumerated under Article 53 § 1 of the Polish Criminal Code (i.e., the degree of culpability, the degree of social harm of a criminally prohibited act, individual prevention and general prevention), in the present paper attention was devoted not only to the essence of the mentioned indications of judicial sentencing, but also to their actual role in that process. The performed analyses allowed for formulating a conclusion that extra-legal factors, following from knowledge and experience of the adjudicating body, do not remain without importance.

This article brings attention not only to the need for a distinction between penalty and its functions, but also to the nature of the tasks posed before the penalty at the stage of imposing and executing the penalty. Based on the example of imprisonment, it has been proven that at the stage of execution the assigned to it objectives become limited to the completion of the reasons of the individual-preventive nature. Further part of this study also relates to the Supreme Court resolution of 26 April 2017, which accurately pointed out that while adjudicating release on licence from the rest of the sentence, criminal purposes, present at the stage of imposing the penalty (referred to in chapter VI of the Criminal Code), must yield to individual-preventive reasons.

This article presents basic reservations concerning the prescriptive status of general prevention. Concerns reported in this respect are related not only to its formulation in the act, but also to its substantive meaning. In the light of the findings, it is concluded that the sense of general preventive effect is already sufficiently reflected in the statutory penalty. Therefore, it would be right to add that the “needs to develop legal awareness in society” (Art. 53§1 of Penal Code) referred to in the Code at the jurisdictional stage are satisfied by the very moment of passing a sentence, which de facto confirms a certain penal reaction provided for in the Code. Therefore, it should be concluded that even the total omission of the general prevention assumptions — expressis verbis — in the current codification would not exclude their presence in the process of rational sentencing.

The purpose of this article is to present the main problems connected with criminalization of human behavior. At the level of legislative policy, such problems revolve around two fundamental issues. In this regard, what ought to be noted is the possibility of isolating factors that would decide on making another sphere of human behavior subject to legal and penal control. Furthermore, considering the type and scope of the statutory threat of punishment, which would allow for maintaining rational punishment standards, ought to be recognized as equally important.

This article discusses chosen terms regarding issues of judicial sentencing. This analysis pays attention not only to the term “sentencing”, but also the role of factors which directly affect its results, i.e. importance of the principles, guidelines and circumstances affecting the process of judicial decisions on applying a certain penal reaction. The conclusion indicates the importance of non-legal factors which play a part in the process of judicial sentencing.

This study focuses on the issue of general directives of the sentencing for infractions. In that regard, the study not only makes a reference to the statutory wording of the said regulations but also draws attention to the traditional interpretative controversies related to that issue. Furthermore, the article presents that view that although translating prescriptive provisions into practice is not an easy task, the existence of the said regulations prevents the adjudicating body from crossing the borders of discretion.

The subject of this article concerns the issue of fair sentencing. In order to introduce the essence of a just punishment, the study presents its three models, which have been established with a great contribution of the achievements of criminal law and case law. While highlighting these models, the main focus was placed on the selection of statutory indications that should be helpful in making legitimate judicial decision on penalty measure. The observations suggest that the most convincing viewpoint seems to be the stance in light of which the interpretation of “just punishment” should not be limited to a strict analysis of the provisions under the general directives (Art. 53 § 1 of the Polish Penal Code), but must take into account other indications for judicial sentencing. In addition the fact that the subject of this article is very sensitive also leads to the conclusion that any attempts to create a textbook definition of a just punishment are doomed to fail.

This article relates to selected problems showing the Polish society as a recipient of information on criminal cases. The presented analysis is empirical in nature. It is the result of research work that has been entrusted by the Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics of the University of Wrocław to the Foundation of Public Opinion Research Center. The principal assumption and objective of the article was to illustrate the social views and attitudes related to the determination of the role and place of criminal sanctions in the awareness of the society.

The purpose of this article is to determine the meaning of ‘minors’ in provisions shaping judicial sentencing. The theoretical and legal considerations serve primarily to assess whether the young age of both the perpetrator and the crime victim may arbitrarily determine the direction of interpretation of the statutory indications for the penalty, and consequently unconditionally determine the type and length of the criminal sanction imposed in such cases. The considerations were based on the analysis of the solutions provided for in the following articles of the Polish Penal Code: 10 § 3, 53 § 2, and 54.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ustalenia znaczenia „małoletniości” na gruncie przepisów kształtujących sądowy wymiar kary. Analizując niniejsze zagadnienie od strony teoretycznoprawnej, w opracowaniu odwołano się do regulacji wybranych rozwiązań części ogólnej Kodeksu karnego, ponieważ uznano, że przewidziane w nich unormowania oddziałują na kierunek sądowego wymiaru kary. Podjęte rozważania między innymi miały wykazać, czy młody wiek zarówno sprawcy, jak i ofiary przestępstwa mogą w sposób arbitralny przesądzać o wypracowaniu czy utrwaleniu w tym zakresie określonego kierunku linii orzeczniczej, a w konsekwencji determinować rodzaj oraz rozmiar orzekanej w tego rodzaju przypadkach sankcji karnej. Opierały się one na analizie rozwiązań przewidzianych w artykułach: 10 § 3 k.k., 53 § 2 k.k. oraz 54 k.k.
