Alternative measures and its advantages
Session

Description
Criticisms of imprisonment as the main prison sentence for the fight against crime, as a negative phenomenon, penal legislation in countries around the world take into account and replace them with other measures, less restrictive but with the same goal, reducing criminality and raising the awareness of perpetrators of crimes acts to respect the governing norms. Alternative measures or probation are measures that are known as community sanctions and measures. Almost all states enunciate and apply them in their penal legislation because of their many advantages. Their massive application in court practice is proof that they lead to positive effects both for the community and for the convicted person. Numerous factors, such as the overcrowding of prisons and the restrictiveness of the prison sentence, are the main reasons that lead to its substitutes and to the application of alternative measures that are more often imposed by the states, not only for their economy, but also for many other benefits and positive effects, and in particular to avoid the numerous negative effects that the prison sentence carries in relation to the personality of the convicted person, believing that through the imposition of alternative measures, the resocialization of the convicted persons will be influenced and that the prison sentence will perform more of a role of sanction for high-risk offenders of prison sentence. Elaborating the benefits of alternative measures ideal for first offenders and offenders of low risk is the aim of this paper. The paper will indicate the purpose of alternative measures and their advantages in order to determine that the choice of judges for the sentence of alternative measures is fair for reducing criminality and finding the solution of avoiding many consequences that the prison sentence carries as in relation to the perpetrator of the crime, as well as to the penitentiary institutions and to the community itself.

Alternative measures and its advantages
UBT Lipjan, Kosovo
Criticisms of imprisonment as the main prison sentence for the fight against crime, as a negative phenomenon, penal legislation in countries around the world take into account and replace them with other measures, less restrictive but with the same goal, reducing criminality and raising the awareness of perpetrators of crimes acts to respect the governing norms. Alternative measures or probation are measures that are known as community sanctions and measures. Almost all states enunciate and apply them in their penal legislation because of their many advantages. Their massive application in court practice is proof that they lead to positive effects both for the community and for the convicted person. Numerous factors, such as the overcrowding of prisons and the restrictiveness of the prison sentence, are the main reasons that lead to its substitutes and to the application of alternative measures that are more often imposed by the states, not only for their economy, but also for many other benefits and positive effects, and in particular to avoid the numerous negative effects that the prison sentence carries in relation to the personality of the convicted person, believing that through the imposition of alternative measures, the resocialization of the convicted persons will be influenced and that the prison sentence will perform more of a role of sanction for high-risk offenders of prison sentence. Elaborating the benefits of alternative measures ideal for first offenders and offenders of low risk is the aim of this paper. The paper will indicate the purpose of alternative measures and their advantages in order to determine that the choice of judges for the sentence of alternative measures is fair for reducing criminality and finding the solution of avoiding many consequences that the prison sentence carries as in relation to the perpetrator of the crime, as well as to the penitentiary institutions and to the community itself.
