Contemporary courses in the sphere of socio-economic and political relations, are characterized by global departure from social welfare model and decrease in the public spending with regard to the enforcement of penal sanctions. It emphasizes the notions of the risk and probability and shifts the focus from the causes of criminal behaviour towards the control of behaviour and from the control of crime towards crime management. It is concerned with cost minimization and risk management through incapacitation without an aspiration to rehabilitation and re-integration of offenders. On the level of national crime control policy, consequences of those global tendencies have borne significant impact on the national sentencing policy (which is seen to getting harsher with the constantly increasing number of prisoners). Therefore, it is of great importance to understand contemporary courses in the field of social reaction to the criminal behaviour and pay attention to the experiences of those countries who managed to avoid or significantly reduce the level of 'populist punitivness'.
