Release on Probation according to the Regulations of the New Criminal Code

The paper deals in a systematized and detailed way with the problems regarding probation through the perspective of the new criminal code provisions. On the basis of examining the relevant provisions of this law, and also on a comparative approach with the provisions of the present criminal code, when necessary, the paper manages to explain the new vision of our legislator in this matter. The author comes to the conclusion that there are fundamental differences between the regulations from the two criminal codes, and that the new approach, inspired by the German, French and Spanish criminal law, is a better answer to the need of fighting against crimes. Through its conclusions, the paper is useful to legal advisors, both at a theoretical and practical level, being a starting point in any discussion on this matter, considering the imminent coming into force of the New Criminal Code.
