Sentencing is a procedure in which a court establishes and imposes a specific sanction on a perpetrator after finding his guilty plea. In the reasoning of the judgment, the court is obliged to state which circumstances have been taken into account in the deliberation and what reasons led to the imposition of the sentence. The law already directs the sentence by forcing each criminal offense into a special criminal law, ie the lower and upper limits of a sentence that can be imposed for the offense. In the Criminal Code of the Republic of Croatia there are three grounds for measuring the sentence: degree of guilt, fatality and purpose of punishment. Overture and excessive circumstances can affect whether the sentence is bigger or smaller. It is forbidden to double the assessment of the circumstances relevant to the punishment of penalties. The law gives the court the possibility of mitigating penalties, and we differentiate between legal and judicial. The court may decide to be released from punishment under certain presumptions when measuring the sentence. Determining the sentence under certain rules is conducted by the court for the criminal offenses in the acquittal and convicted persons.
