Annotation
The implementation (execution) of punishment forms part of the system of combatting and preventing crime, and has the objective to contribute - by means of a strong influence exerted by the state as well as by society on the lawbreaker - to a positive development of the process of probation and compensation and, consequently, to the prevention of further criminal acts (Art. 2(2) of the Penal Code).
Abstract
Of particular importance is the consistent implementation of the measures with regard to juveniles who have to experience in this way that the penalty which has been awarded them is actually implemented. (Publisher abstract)
