Způsob prezentace: Přednáška

The comparative aspect of sentencing research has long been relatively narrow, focusing on common law based systems and a handful of other western countries. This has slowly been changing in the past decade, however many of the sentencing systems from “elsewhere” remain uncharted. In this presentation we focus on a limited number of post-communist European countries, seeking commonalities among them and finding differences as well. We focus on the question of how sentencing discretion is structured and how that differs from or equates to what we know from the more studied systems. In doing so we try to understand where the systemic features come from and how they relate to societal features more broadly. Finally, we try to understand what does and what doesn’t work in sentencing in these countries, again looking for reasons and answers as to how to improve it.
