Probation Officer in the Context of New Tasks and Challenges in the System of Social Rehabilitation

Summary/Abstract: The article has a pre-conceptual character, as it contributes to the planned research project established in rehabilitation pedagogy. Due to recent changes in the crime prevention system, both at the stage of establishing and executing the law, the authors recognise the need to analyse these current trends and changes in the context of the functions, roles and competences of the probation officer, which is the basic “tool” of justice in the area of crime prevention. Traditional work models referred to as case work in its different varieties do not seem to be entirely adequate in terms of the implementation of the tasks that have been assigned to probation officers during the recent statutory amendments. This means that they, as a “pedagogical arm of the judiciary” educated in the traditional model of professional preparation, face new challenges, not only organisational, but also those related to working in an educational dimension. This article is therefore an outline of a research concept aimed at diagnosing the adequacy of competences and models of the probation officer’s work for new tasks resulting from normative changes in the justice and rehabilitation system. The article contains extensive justifications for the research problem undertaken and the framework of the methodological concept.
