AN ATTEMPT TO IMPLEMENT CLINICAL GUARDIANSHIP AND MANAGERIALISM IN PROBATION SUPERVISIONS

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: At present in many countries the model of the work of probation officers hasbeen subordinated to the case management method. In the Ministry of Justice started work oncombining the resocialization treatment by probation officers with the assessment of recidivismrisk in convicts classified into three groups of recidivism. In this manner, the probation meth-odology can shift from educational purposes to prevention and control. The principal goal ofthe proposed solutions was to turn probation officers into a professional service responsible forthe protection of society and probationers themselves against next criminal acts.Research Aim: This is a review article. Its purpose to present the course of the reform of guard-ianship for adults after the political transformation.Evidence-based Facts: While preparing new solutions did not pay sufficient attention to themoment of implementation of the proposed recidivism risk management model into the prac-tice of conducting probation supervisions, grading of control and adjustment of resocializationprograms to different risk groups. The unprofessional implementation of the recidivism riskmanagement model may result in the mass exclusion of the convicted persons from resocializa-tion in an open environment.Summary: The probation officers were not prepared to recognize the criminogenic needs ofthe probationers. When formulating forecast, they use a very limited list of predictors of thefuture criminal behaviour of the probationers. This means that the probation officers must beequipped with appropriate, reliable, proven and structured recidivism risk estimation tools.
