Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the preliminary inquiry as a special means of proving the personal circumstances of the offender when imposing a sentence of house arrest. The application practice of law enforcement authorities shows certain shortcomings in establishing the basic circumstances necessary for assessing the possibility of imposing a sentence of house arrest. These shortcomings may stem from the absence of a legal obligation of the court to conduct a preliminary inquiry before imposing a sentence of house arrest. The paper therefore deals with the conditions for imposing a sentence of house arrest, the practical significance of the preliminary inquiry and places this sentence within the legal framework of evidence in criminal proceedings and compares it with foreign legislation in selected countries at the same time.
