Educational aims of punishment in Polish criminal law

Summary/Abstract: Over the years, the criminal law regulations related to the sentencing directives have been modified. This depended on a number of factors, including the „view” on the educational issues of punishment, which evolved significantly on the grounds of particular sources of criminal law in Poland. The educational goals of punishment, i.e. the normative identity of re-socialisation, constituted and still constitutes a problematic element of the construction of criminal law and the relevant philosophy of punishment. In the light of the formal-dogmatic and historical-legal analysis of legal acts and the analysis of other documents found from the Polish lands in the times of the Partitions and ending with the latest amendment to the Penal Code of July 2022, it is possible to put forward a thesis that the educational purposes of punishment constitute an indispensable element of the proper functioning of the administration of justice and the guarantee of lawfully administered punishment.
