Mitigating circumstances are perhaps the most important legal tool in the hands of the judge in order to adjust the imposed penalty to the appropriate level. A concise yet comprehensive presentation of the system of mitigating circumstances becomes necessary due to the significant changes brought about by the new Penal Code in the relevant legislation, as well as the rich case law that has been issued under the regime of the new law.

The work "Mitigating Circumstances under the New Penal Code" addresses all related practical and theoretical issues with exhaustive and detailed presentation of the entire theory and case law.

It is primarily aimed at all those involved in any role (judges, prosecutors, lawyers) with the practice of criminal law, as well as those theorists who want to enrich and deepen their knowledge on the thorny issues related to mitigating circumstances.
