  • Summary

    The imposition of day fines and related questions on the optimal punitive policy have been for the last few decades one of the most extensively debated issues in the Slovenian criminal law scholarship. This chapter offers an overview of the historical development of day fines in Slovenia, provides a thorough discussion on its current regulatory structure, investigates its main sources of inefficiencies and problems of daily implementation, explores the issues of public perception of day fines and identifies the main obstacles, roadblocks and special challenges that lay ahead on the path towards the optimal implementation of day fines in Slovenia. Analysis suggests that the legislative infrastructure is in place for an optimal implementation of day fines. Yet, its de facto imposition, although on an increasing trajectory, is still far behind the percentage in some of the developed western legal systems. Ironically, the public discourse and some of the public prosecutors (and judges) perceive day fines as inefficient, unjust, ineffective and non-retributory.
