Abstract

This article deals with an important category of criminal sanctions: safeguards. The fundamental institution of criminal law, criminal sanctions, are nothing more than the effect of criminal liability, this in turn being the legal consequence of committing the crime. Within the framework of criminal sanctions, an important category is safety measures. The defense of society against crimes could not be effectively ensured if only the application of punishments, however severe they may be, both in duration and in the mode of execution, were used for this purpose. The crime must be examined in relation to the man who committed it, and not isolated as an abstract notion, without any connection to social life, and the criminal treatment to be applied must take into account everything that characterizes the person of the perpetrator as described it shows in the present and how it is shaping up in the future. When an act provided for by the criminal law is committed, the investigations carried out in the respective case sometimes reveal, in addition to the gravity of the respective act, some situations, some realities that reveal a danger for the future in terms of the commission of other crimes. In order to solve these "dangerous situations" safety measures were found as a solution.
