Benefitné rozhodnutia v trestnom konaní – Romža Sergej, Romžová Deana, Priščák Dávid (2026)

This Slovak-language monograph examines benefit decisions in criminal proceedings as a legal and legitimate means of motivating perpetrators of particularly serious crimes when other evidence-gathering methods prove ineffective or significantly more difficult. It discusses their individual purpose in clarifying crimes and identifying or convicting perpetrators, as well as their contribution to the proper detection of crime and fair punishment while respecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and legal entities. The authors address the role of the pre-trial judge and the court hearing the case in ensuring criminal justice, and appeal to law-enforcement authorities and courts to apply their powers responsibly and consistently, prevent abuse, and avoid introducing unlawful evidence into criminal proceedings. The monograph is intended for the general public, especially police officers, prosecutors, judges, law students, students of police schools, and other specialists. Its authors aim to raise awareness of the subject and initiate a broad discussion about the purpose of regulating benefit decisions in criminal proceedings.
