Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyse different approaches to sanctioning and their potential effects on families, neighbourhoods and communities. After a brief review of the basic concepts of sanctioning, their development and critique, the article firstly studies the risks associated with approaches to sanctioningfocused on the criminal offense and the imprisonment of the offender, and then it discusses the potential economic and social benefits of more modern approaches to sanctioning focused on the offender, the victim and the community. Based on a presentation of long-term effects of different approaches to sanctioning, the author draws attention to the current challenges present in Croatia and to certain understandings that should be taken into account, primarily because of the potential benefits for families, neighbourhoods and communities. In conclusion, the articleprovides certain suggestions and guidelines that could be useful for the Croatian penal system but also for society as a whole.
