Abstract

U radu su obrađeni podaci kretanja i stanja kriminaliteta te promjena kaznene politike s ciljem utvrđivanja utjecaja na promjene i prilagodbe unutar zatvorskog sustava. Kaznena politika je puno šire pitanje od zakonodavnih okvira kažnjavanja propisanih Kaznenim zakonom, ali politika kažnjavanja u pogledu primjene kaznenopravnih okvira i izbora sankcija značajno utječe na stanje u zatvorskom sustavu. Prenapučenost kaznenih ustanova, posebno u zatvorenim uvjetima, u pitanje dovodi uvjete koji su potrebni za osiguravanje svrhovitog boravka zatvorenika u zatvorima, odnosno kaznionicama kao i mogućnost organiziranog provođenja aktivnosti usmjerenih na ostvarenje glavne svrhe izdržavanja kazne zatvora. Isti negativan učinak ostvaruje se i nepopunjavanjem planiranih radnih mjesta unutarnjih ustrojstvenih jedinica kaznenih ustanova. Nepovoljan odnos broja zatvorenika na jednog službenika pravosudne policije dodatno utječe na povećanje sigurnosnih rizika i spremnost na potrebne reakcije u održavanju discipline i stege, a samim time i na stvaranje sigurnih uvjeta za provođenje svih aktivnosti. Usprkos svim pokazateljima blagosti kaznene politike, broj zatvorenika se u posljednje dvije godine ponovo povećava i premašuje smještajne kapacitete zatvorskog sustava. Najzastupljenija izrečena kaznenopravna sankcija je uvjetna kazna zatvora, a u slučaju izricanja bezuvjetne kazne zatvora, u visini od šest do dvanaest mjeseci.

Abstract (english)

The paper deals with data on trends, the state of criminality and changes in penal policy to determine the impact of changes and adaptations within the prison system. The penal policy is a much broader issue than the legislative frameworks of punishment prescribed by the Penal Code. Still, the policy of punishment concerning the application of criminal legal frameworks and the choice of sanctions significantly affects the situation in the prison system. The overcrowding of penal institutions, especially in closed conditions, calls into question the conditions necessary to ensure the purposeful stay of prisoners in penal institutions, as well as the possibility of organized implementation of activities aimed at achieving the main purpose of serving a prison sentence. The same negative effect is achieved by not filling the planned workplaces of the internal organizational units in prisons. The unfavorable ratio of the number of prisoners to one judicial police officer additionally affects the increase in security risks and the readiness for the necessary reactions in maintaining discipline, thus creating safe conditions for implementing all activities. Despite all the indicators of the mildness of the penal policy, the number of prisoners has increased again in the last two years. It exceeds the accommodation capacity of the prison system. The most commonly pronounced criminal sanction is a suspended prison sentence and in the case of an unconditional prison sentence, ranging from six to twelve months.
