THE IDENTITY OF THE PERPETRATOR OF THE CRIME AS AN INDIVIDUALIZATION OF PUNISHMENT

Resumo

The article examines the phenomenon of the identity of the perpetrator of a crime in the mechanism of individualization of criminal punishment. It is pointed out that although the criminal act acts as the main dimension of the indentity of the perpetrator of a crime, it is of fundamental importance in the punishment individualization mechanism to take into account the individual diversity inherent in any perpetrator’s personality that may be reflected in the crime or not characterize it.
