Summary/Abstract: Probation refers to the implementation of sanctions and measures in the community that are defined by the Law and that are applied to offenders. Also, probation implies a system of activities and interventions that include supervision, guidance and assistance, all with the aim of social integration of convicted persons as well as contributing to public safety. The institute of probation has been known and applied by numerous developed democratic societies for more than 170 years. Probation, in the most general terms, is treatment at liberty, as a rule conditional. The probation system has taken root in the countries of the region in the last thirty years. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, work is being done rapidly on the education of penological staff and on changing and adapting the laws related to this area. The goal of this work is to highlight the role and significance of the probation system and alternative criminal sanctions in the non-institutional treatment of perpetrators of criminal acts and their resocialization within the community.
