| description | Victimological dimension of new criminality forms is a specific challenge for
contemporary criminal law systems; new time brings new forms of criminality,
new victims, but also new ways and opportunities for more efficient
protection of victims. At the same time with review and improvement of
existing standards of victims` protection, contemporary criminality control
systems show strong tendency toward compromising the general position of the
victim. Victim’s interests are being instrumentalized because of the
justification of changes in criminality control in the direction of
significant strengthening of criminal law repression. The crime which is
emotionalized with the affective media presentation of the victim justifies
stricter penal policy and provides the populist support for repressive
criminality control strategies and criminal law expansionism. The aim of the
paper is the analysis of the mechanisms of victim “use“ in contemporary
criminality control and the examination of its consequences, with special
review on domestic circumstances through analysis of the Code on special
measures for prevention of crimes against sexual freedom towards juveniles
(Marija`s Code). |
