Executing the penalty of deprivation of liberty using a system of electronic monitoring versus the constitutional principle of equality under the law 

The article discusses the Execution of the Penalty of Deprivation of Liberty within a System of Electronic Monitoring Act and its draft amendment. It demonstrates its drawbacks, in particular the contravention of the principle of equality under the law, expressed in art. 32, section 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. This contravention stems from the gradual implementation of the Act, which would not apply to every convicted person in Poland at the same time. The author also questions whether the Act and its amendment will, at least partially, help to solve the problem of overpopulated Polish prisons and long delays for convicts waiting to serve their sentence. Namely, the author considers whether the Act will beget social improvements.

The article is to discuss models of accountability for crimes against freedom in selected European countries in the continental system of criminal law. In turn discussed the system of offenses against freedom and then crimes of illegal deprivation of freedom, human trafficking, threat, stalking and impersonation, coercion, taking the image of a naked person, medical treatment without consent and violation of domestic peace in different countries. The whole discussion is an attempt to extract the model solutions.
