Abstract

The subject of the study is to consider the issues regarding the set-off of the time spent in custody or house arrest at the time of punishment, both during the sentencing and during its execution.
 The purpose of the study is to disclose the problematic issues of calculating the period of detention subject to offsetting the term of imprisonment, the beginning of the term of serving a sentence of imprisonment. The procedure for setting off the time spent by a person under house arrest until a court verdict comes into force is considered if a court imposes a sentence that is not related to isolation from society.
 The main results of the study reflect problems in sentencing if the time of detention absorbs the sentence assigned to the defendant by the court, as well as the issues of applying preferential rules for setting off the time of detention in custody when sentencing for the totality of crimes and the totality of sentences, criminal of the law in time when the time in the sentence is set off, for crimes committed before July 14, 2018.
 As a fundamental direction, the scientific and practical validity of the criminal law policy and legislative processes, the optimization of the implementation of the criminal law are noted.
