Non-punitive measures of criminal and legal nature (security measures)under legislation of the European Union.

Abstract

Currently, majority of states, having in mind the purpose of resocialization of a guilty person as the main purpose of a criminal law, follow the principle of dualism of punishments and other means of criminal influencing, first of all the so-called “security measures”, in their criminal and legal policy. Comparative analysis of the system of non-punitive measures of criminal and legal nature (security measures) of certain countries of the European Union allows to determine basic provisions that characterize the tendencies in the criminal and legal policy of the said countries with regard to regulation of the criminal effects of a committed crime in the form of a punishment and adopt this positive experience.
