Abstract

Relevance. Criminal punishment is a legal consequence of the committed crime. The probation institute exists as an alternative to imprisonment and is aimed at the rehabilitation and correction of offenders, the prevention of crimes, and the provision of social assistance to convicts.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to identify the main directions in world practice that exist in the field of re-education of convicts and the prevention of relapse in the future. The tasks of the study should include the study of the features of the organizational and legal activities of the probation service and their employees, the practice of preventing such crimes in different countries, as well as familiarization with the main means of overcoming such problems in the process of law enforcement.

Methodology. The main methods of scientific research were analysis and synthesis, with the help of which different methods and approaches were identified in resolving the issue of reforming convicts and analysing new approaches to convicted persons who committed various crimes and belong to different segments of the population.

Results. As a result of the study, an analysis was made of international practice regarding the rehabilitation and correction of people who are serving a suspended sentence, as well as the correctional system, in particular, penitentiary probation in different countries. Familiarization with various methods, tools, rehabilitation programs, experiments in the field of corrective justice was carried out. Based on the fundamental documents that regulate the processes of parole, the opinions of legal scholars concluded that the humanization of criminal processes has a positive result not only for those convicted of crimes, but also for the welfare of society as a whole. A comparison was made between the use of imprisonment and parole. An analysis of the criteria for the correction of convicts was carried out, taking into account their age, gender, and social status.

Conclusions. Based on the results of the analysis, an assessment was made of the factors that influence the degree of reduction in the social danger of a probationer, as well as the prevention of recidivism. Based on the results of this study, new approaches and methods were proposed for the introduction of probation officers into the correctional service, including non-traditional ones, such as victimization, and mediation.
