P. Törnydd To the Realistic Purposes of Criminal Policy

Abstract: Patrik Törnudd formulates the principles of the criminal political ideology, which were at the basis of the total reform of Finnish penal law. The main principles include the minimization and fair distribution of the social costs of crime and crime control, shifting of the emphasis from the severity of criminal sanctions towards their inevitability, fairness and adequacy. At the same time he disproves the thesis that the crime level is determined mainly by the qualities of the penal system.


Keywords:

penal policy, penal policy goals, crime control, social control, social costs of crime control, prisoner rate, general prevention of crime, situational prevention of crime.
