Roziqov Ilhom Istamovich

The issue of punishment is one of the most pressing issues of our time and serves as an important criterion for the democratic development of the state. In recent years, the problem of crime is of particular importance for the society of Uzbekistan, which requires the state to revise the laws aimed at creating humane principles, ensuring and protecting the freedom, honor and dignity of the individual. By the Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No.PP-3723 dated May 14, 2018, the “Concept for Improving the Criminal and Criminal Procedure Legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan” was adopted. According to this concept, the main task is to revise the system of penalties and mechanisms for their appointment, to eliminate outdated forms and types of punishments that do not meet modern requirements. The study of the most humane aspects of punishment theories, the development of proposals, as well as the improvement of criminal legislation on reforming the problem of disclosing punishment to the general public with the consent of the person who committed a crime, as a function of direct punishment (prevention theory) is important in-today's-conditions.
