Abstract

The law on petty offences includes both criminal and administrative acts. This forces the legis-lator to have a differentiated system of reaction. Next to strictly penal forms of impact on the petty offence perpetrator, the Petty Offenses Code allows the application of, among others, educational impact measures. The aim of this article is to present these measures, their application criteria and to emphasise the need for changes in the scope of Article 41 of the Petty Offences Code.
