DISPUTED ISSUES OF IMPOSITION SECURITY MEASURES OF MEDICAL CHARACTER

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with issue of cumulative imposition and self-imposition of the security measures of medical character. The issue of self-imposition of the security measures of medical character is particularly discussed, considering that the possibility of self-imposition of measures of psychiatric treatment to mentally incompetent perpetrators in the systemic sense represents the double exception, in relation to the supplementary character of security measures as criminal sanctions and cumulative imposition with other sanctions as a rule, as well as in relation to the rule that criminal sanctions are being imposed for committed criminal offence. Cumulative imposition of the security measures of medical character with other criminal sanctions is analyzed in the context of the achievement of the required purpose of criminal sanctions imposition to criminal offences perpetrators with psychiatric disorders or who are addicted to narcotics or alcohol. With respect to the open question of the legitimacy of the criminal-legal reaction to the mentally ill persons behavior and the legitimacy of the forcedly treatment as criminal sanction in general, the analysis is retained within existing legal framework of the security measures of medical character with proposals for improvement of positive legal solutions.
