Summary/Abstract: Criminal law recognizes three possible forms of perpetration: direct perpetration, indirect perpetration and joint perpetration. Indirect perpetrator (principal by proxy) is a person who commits an offense through another person (agent). Principal controls acts of the agent because he has superior knowledge or superior will, which enables him to effectuate his own ideas through the agent. Typical example of indirect perpetration is exploitation of a child or an insane person for a criminal offense. Situations in which there is a need for this construction have not yet been clearly defined in Serbian literature.
