Durante la última década ha aumentado el interés político criminal por expandir la aplicación del criterio de peligrosidad en el Derecho penal español. Esto determinó la introducción de la libertad vigilada con el objetivo expreso de aprehender el riesgo que plantea un nuevo tipo de sujeto jurídico-penal: el delincuente imputable peligroso. El presente trabajo examina detalladamente la evolución de esta medida de seguridad con el fin de extraer las notas características de la construcción de los «peligrosos» efectuada por el legislador. Como objetivo último, se pretende reflexionar sobre la idea de peligrosidad que se encuentra detrás de la plasmación legal y las implicaciones que derivan de ella.The last decade has seen a rise in the utilization of the dangerousness criterion in the Spanish criminal law. This determined the introduction of the measure of supervised release as a way to respond against certain types of offenders deemed to still pose a risk to the population at time of release. This paper aims to examine this process in depth with the purpose of extracting some of the features of this group of «dangerous» offenders as defined by the Criminal Code. More generally, it aims to gain some insight about which concept of dangerousness lies behind these changes.

RESUMEN: La protección de la salud de los trabajadores ha aumentado debido al virus Covid-19, provocando numerosas críticas a las administraciones públicas y las empresas por no dotar de suficiente material a sus trabajadores. El Código Penal en sus artículos 316 y 317, recoge la posibilidad de condenar a los responsables de las empresas que no cumplan con las medidas de seguridad e higiene suficientes para evitar el contagio de sus empleados. Esto nos lleva a determinar cuáles son los requisitos necesarios para poder aplicar dicho artículo en sustitución de la sanción administrativa recogida en la Ley de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales.Palabras Clave: Derecho Penal, Derecho de los Trabajadores, Salud, Higiene, Seguridad. ABSTRACT: The protection of workers' health has increased due to the Covid-19 virus, provoking numerous criticisms of public administrations and companies for not providing enough material to their workers. The Criminal Code in Articles 316 and 317 provide for the possibility of sentencing those responsible for companies that do not comply with sufficient health and safety measures to prevent the infection of your employees. This leads us to determine which are the requirements necessary to be able to apply that article in replacement of the penalty the administrative regulations set out in the Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks.Keywords: Criminal Law, Workers' Rights, Health, Hygiene, Safety.

Discontinuation of proceedings under Article 59a of the Criminal Code is a new institution in Polish criminal law. This article discusses selected issues relating to the premises for the application of Article 59a of the Criminal Code in practice. In view of the use by the legislator in Article 59a of the Criminal Code of concepts with vague meanings, their possible interpretations were proposed. It has been suggested that a rephrasing of the provision in question should be considered, in order to ensure the possibility of applying the said institution to a wider range of misdemeanours, as compensatory discontinuation is intended by the legislator to fulfil the redress function of proceedings and ensure the effectiveness and speed of criminal proceedings

The creation of the Guiding Principles on the Criminal Law of the RSFSR of 1919 is studied taking into account extremely complicated internal and external political situation in the country at the beginning of the twentieth century. Using the methods of analysis, synthesis, as well as comparative and historical method, the author determines the significance of the Guiding Principles in the law system of the young Soviet state. Some key norms of the document are examined. In particular, the definition of criminal law is analyzed and its advantages and disadvantages are identified. It is noted that the definition of a crime was formulated too broadly, and more significant steps in criminalization of different acts were made with the adoption of the RSFSR Criminal Code of 1922. It is indicated which persons were not punished according to the Guidelines. Attention is drawn to the way in which such a method of protection as necessary defense was set forth in this act. The Guiding Principles are not without certain disadvantages: for example, the institution of complicity is not sufficiently disclosed, there is lexical redundancy in the definition of the concept «planning the offence». However, the discrepancies between the main provisions covered in the Guidelines are explainable and excusable, taking into account the historical situation at the time of their adoption. The analyzed document became the basis for Russian criminal law, and some of its provisions are still relevant.
