READINESS FOR REDRESS AND A SENSE OF SELF-EFFICACY OF THE PERPETRATORS OF VIOLENT OFFENCES

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: According to the purpose of the completion of penalty it is important to fostera sense of responsibility in convicted persons. The assumption of the responsibility for the com-mitted act is the basis for participation in mediation, one important aspect of which is redress.Therefore, it is essential to identify determinants of readiness for redress so as to be able to de-sign social rehabilitation programmes aimed at the development of a sense of self-efficacy. Oneof these factors, which is subject to empirical verification, is a sense of self-efficacy.Research Aim: The aim of research consists in analysing the relationship between readiness forredress and a sense of self-efficacy of the persons who committed violent offences.Method: In author’s own research the diagnostic survey method was used in addition to thefollowing tools: Readiness for Restitution Scale and Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale.Results: It was found that in the examined group there is a positive correlation between thereadiness for undertaking corrective measures and a sense of self-efficacy of the persons servingthe penalty of deprivation of liberty for the committed violent offences. A sense of self-efficacyexplains variance in the readiness for redress. Nonetheless, factors other than self-efficacy makea greater contribution into explaining the variance in the dependent variable.Conclusions: The conducted research is of an exploratory nature and needs to be repeated ona larger sample of prisoners. However, the obtained results already allow to draw the conclusionthat by developing one of these variables – readiness for redress or a sense of self-efficacy, thelevel of the other one increases at the same time. It means that these aspects can be taken intoaccount while designing social rehabilitation programmes aimed at the social readaptation ofconvicts.
