摘要：In a criminal (criminal and misdemeanor) law the right to deprivation of liberty of movement of another person - a perpetrator of a criminal offense - based on a decision of the court for a specified period of time is a type of criminal sanction of institutional character (whether it is punishment, security measure or educational measure). However, criminal law knows the so-called special forms of law-based deprivations of liberty, which do not represent the type and measure of criminal sanctions. These are, in fact, forms of deprivation of liberty that represent the substitute for the other previously imposed, entirely or partly, unpaid penalties - fine, driving license revocation or work in the public interest. This Paper deals with the concept, type and characteristics of the subsidiary imprisonment in positive criminal law of the Republic of Serbia.
