Abstract:

Achieving the goals of the penalties specified in the Criminal Code is one of the main tasks that must be performed in order to have limited criminal activity in society. It is necessary to create a number of measures and methods that will positively influence the preventive activity carried out by the state. Statistics show that the perpetrators of crimes are mainly individuals with a lack of work habits, as well as with a low educational qualification. Accordingly, changes are needed not only in the field of criminal legislation but in numerous and diverse areas.
