Abstract

The paper deals with actual criminal law protection of the right to life in Serbia, focusing the legal provisions related to criminal offenses against life and body, and the latest legislative changes. The most important question is whether the current situation is based on the necessity and the real need for better protection of the right to life or is it just populist manoeuvring of the creator of legislative penal policy? The author presents available statistical data and research results relevant to the subject, throwing a glance to comparative law, in order to indicate some directions for future legislative intervention.
