Abstract

Waiving the application of punishment is a modern legal institution regulated in the Romanian Criminal Code that allows the court to exclude the application of punishment under specific conditions. This article analyzes the legal foundations, conditions of application, effects and implications of this measure. Waiver of punishment represents a form of judicial individualization of criminal liability that allows the court to decide that, in certain cases, the application of punishment is unnecessary to achieve the preventive and educational purpose of the criminal sanction. This measure is regulated in Article 80 of the Criminal Code, while Article 74, paragraph (1), establishes the general criteria for individualization that the court must take into account.
