Abstract

Less than two decades of wider application of alternative criminal sanctions and measures in domestic legislation and practice is characterized by the constant improvement of normative, organizational and personnel capacities, but also by the persistence of certain obstacles, both in the imposition of these measures and sanctions, and in the process of execution of the pronounced sanctions and measures. The subject of this work is a critical review of the phase of execution of non-custodial sanctions and measures, primarily from the aspect of the role of the probation office in this process. The analysis of the normative framework and the situation in practice shows that the application of non-custodial sanctions and measures in practice does not reflect all the possibilities of the normative system and is still not functional to the extent that it could be concluded only on the basis of a positive growing trend of application. The non-custodial system is a relevant approach to the reduction of the prison population, but it still does not function as a stable and functional part of the overall formal reaction to criminality, which affects the decline of the prison population and relieves prison capacity, reduces recidivism and strengthens the processes of social (re)integration of criminal offenders. A planning and analytical approach to the improvement of the organizational and administrative capacities of the probation office is a key condition for the sustainability and improvement of the efficiency of the non-custodial system.
