Uwagi o funkcjach świadczenia pieniężnego w świetle nowelizacji Kodeksu karnego z 5 sierpnia 2022 roku

Abstract

The subject of the study are changes in the statutory form of cash benefit resulting from the amendment to the Penal Code of 5 August 2022. The aim of the article is to verify the hypothesis, according to which the essence of the introduced regu lations is to strengthen the position of a pecuniary benefit as a repressive and com pensatory measure. The adopted solutions mean that the new model of pecuniary benefits breaks away from the political and criminal assumptions that determined the normative shape of this penal measure in the original version of the Criminal Code of 1997.
