Analysis of the Practice of the Centres for Social Work to Propose to the Court Diversion Order or Educational Measure

Summary/Abstract: although it is not obliged by the low, centres for social work (SCR) frequently deliver to the court during preparatory procedure the proposal of the educational measure &diversion order as a part of the obligatory ”finding and opinion” about juvenile suspected for criminal act. The aim of the paper is to analyse how much that practice is spread, based on the law and purposeful for the best interest of the social welfare users. The sample consists of 30 ”findings and opinions” that CSR’s had delivered to the court during 14 months. Findings showed that the proposal of the diversion order and educational measure was a part of all analysed cases but wasn’t based on the all elements defined by the law in a sense of uncomplete or missing description of antisocial behaviour, motives for the criminal act and behaviour after the deed. High proportion of the court reprimands and criminal procedure suspensions and their disconnection with seriousness and chronicity of antisocial behaviour nor with highly risky characteristics of the juvenile’s person, behaviour, circumstances and environment, suggest that the proposal of the educational measure & referral order is not always for the best interest of the user. The findings were discussed and recommendations for practice improvements were made.
