Evoluţia istorică a reacţiei represive şi a sistemului sancţionator în Republica Moldova şi România

Abstract

The history of criminal law bears witness both to the continuous effort to keep under control the manifestations contrary to the social order by sanctioning the most serious forms of these manifestations, as well as to the concern for the continuous humanization of punishment. Proof of this is the very steps of the repressive reaction. The repressive reaction has taken different forms over the centuries, starting from the unlimited revenge based on the instinctive reaction, outside of any regulation, to the legally regulated reaction and strictly controlled by the state authority.
