ROLE OF PROBATION IN THE EXECUTION OF EDUCATIONAL NON-CUSTODIAL MEASURES APPLICABLE TO MINORS IN THE NEW PENAL CODE OF ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: Modernity of the new Penal Code of Romania on the field of criminal treatment for minors consists first in waiving penalties and regulation of a single system of punishment for the juveniles who are criminally responsible. It contains educational measures, four non-custodial and two custodial. After 10 years since its establishment, the challenges for Romanian probation system are to (re-)formulate working mechanisms within the justice system and to (re-)thinking approach with families and support networks of minors. But the proposed changes will take place in a socio-economically context less favourable, under conditions of austerity budgets and limitations of human and material allocated resources. On the above mentioned situation a performance management solution for educational non-custodial measures is attracting the community structures in probation activities, probation service assuming the responsibility of managing the supervisory process. In this presentation we will follow the characteristics and directions of development of the juvenile justice system from the new Penal Code perspective focusing on educational non-custodial measures.
