ENAfter the adoption of the new Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania the introduction of the institution of penal effect measures was identified as one of the key novels of this legal act. The contribution to the fund of crime victims is one of ten penal measures established in the Criminal Code. Although the list of penal effect measures in the Criminal Code is still evolving, however, the scientific analysis on the penal effect measure topic is almost non-existent. The contribution to the fund of crime victims is an individual coercive monetary tool imposed by a court judgment or ruling on behalf of the State based on the provisions and amount set by law (from 5 to 25 MSL) payable to the special program of the fund of crime victims. After the examination of the criminal law scholars’ works written just after the restoration of the independence of the Republic of Lithuania, which deal with the construction and development of the criminal sanctions’ system; drafts of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania and their explanatory notes; international and EU legal acts – it is assumed, that the major influence to the establishment of the contribution to the fund of crime victims in the Criminal Code has been exerted by the aim of ensuring the interests of victims of criminal acts.
