Summary
The concept of the purpose of criminal proceedings in contemporary Latvian criminal procedure has been subject to revision, as the threat of punishment has gradually assumed a central role in the fair regulation of criminal relations. In reviewing the penal policy, the legislator’s task is not only to target the offender, but also to remember the need to respect the rights and freedoms of the individual. Montesquieu’s philosophy provides theoretical guidelines for implementation of proportionate and just modification of punishment as a means of social coordination in a democratic and legal state.
