Abstract | الملخص

This study aimed to look at the proposed legislative solutions to the adoption of alternative sanctions in the Jordanian penal system In the scope of the global legal orientations, most modern penal legislation were directed to adopt a modern punitive policy based on finding new ways and different alternatives to short term deprivation of liberty penalties. These legislation were differed concerning the adoption of these sanctions based on multiple considerations regarding the nature of the crime committed, some concerning the duration of the freedom deprivation penalty which can be replaced, as well as the personal circumstances of the offender. In relation to Jordan, short term freedom deprivation penalties are still forming the majority of the sentences issued by the courts despite its negative effects and the different doubts that arose about its usefulness and effectiveness. The search for alternatives is still did not receive enough attention by the criminal justice and the competent legislative authorities which lead to a necessity to build a national strategy for the adoption of such alternatives, especially that different legislation have adopted it in their penal systems, and other countries have applied it for a long time and proved its effectiveness and usefulness in the reform and the social rehabilitation of convicts
