Summary/Abstract: The subject of the discussion is the instance of recidivism in the Criminal Code of 1932.

Then, the premises for recidivism specified in Article 60 of the Penal Code and the criminal consequences of returning to crime are analysed, taking into account the positions of doctrine and judicature.
