Abstract
This report examines certain issues related to the system of sanctions in Bulgarian criminal law that necessitate reform. Attention is given to the need to abolish the most severe punishment – life imprisonment without parole; to the alarming trends regarding the most frequently imposed punishment - imprisonment; to the underestimated importance of probation, property sanctions, and deprivation of rights; as well as to the lack of relevance, under modern conditions, of the lightest form of punishment – public censure.
