- Abstract
From the death penalty and bodily mutilation, over imprisonment sentence, nowadays, when pronouncing and imposing sentences, sanctions that do not include confinement of criminal offence perpetrators are being strived for. Contemporary punitive legislation more often tends to stipulate sanctions alternative to an imprisonment. Such alternative sanctions are pronounced, in accordance with the conditions prescribed by law, in lieu of imprisonment and fine. Thus, the subject of this paper is the community service sanction pronounced to the perpetrators of misdemeanors. Community service is relatively new alternative sanction, existing in the system of punitive sanctions of the Republic of Serbia for less than a decade. The Misdemeanor Law, very likely under the influence of a contemporary tendency of stipulating alternative sanctions, introduces this sanction. Nevertheless, the mere process of pronouncing and substituting this sanction is not regulated unambiguously in the Misdemeanor Law, which consequently presents the focal topic of this paper.
