ACTUAL REPENTANCE IN CRIMINAL LEGISLATION OF OTHER COUNTRIES
Having analyzed other countries’ criminal legislation regarding repentance for crime the author concludes that in most countries’ legislation (with the exception of the former USSR countries or those under the influence of the Soviet legislation) such repentance is stimulated only by mitigation of punishment or exemption from it. The author wants to draw the attention of Russian lawmakers to those Criminal Codes (Austrian in particular) where actual repentance for a considerable number of crime categories is stimulated in the Special Part.
