According to the authors the legislative technique is an integral part of the legal technique, which is a set of tools, techniques and rules developed by science and practice which are used by public authorities when carrying out, within their competence, lawmaking activities to develop and formalize the text of a law as well as other regulatory prescription. The article notes that it is the differentiated execution of punishment that is a prerequisite for individualization, justice of punishment and, consequently, its effectiveness.
