The Issues of Criminal Policy in the Interwar Period in Poland

One of the debates carried out in interwar Poland among legal professionals, including on the pages of legal journals, regarded the issue of how to define and delimit the scope of criminal policy. It was contributed to by many prominent jurists of that era, such as J. Makarewicz, B. Wróblewski or E.S. Rappaport. The aim of this article is to present J. Reinhold’s and A. Moginicki’s views on criminal policy. However, these two authors perceived the combat against crime differently as to the use of various means by the state or both the state and society (penalties and/or preventive/protective measures). Although they were influenced by the sociological school of criminal law, mainly F. von Liszt’s position, an analysis of their views points to a number of differences in their positions.
