Research focused on evaluating the benefits and effectiveness of mediation procedures for the offender, for the victim and for society, and on how mediation meets the planned general goals of the Probation and Mediation Service, i.e. integration of the offender, participation of the victim and the protection of society. One of the goals was to find out in which criminal justice institutions mediation is used by courts and public prosecutors, in what area and type of cases mediation procedures are applied, and their effectiveness from the perspective of society, the offender and the victim.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ok.cz\/iksp\/docs\/372.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.ok.cz\/iksp\/docs\/372.pdf<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>4.<\/strong> Zeman Petr (Eds.)

This measure basically provides a convicted person with the opportunity to prove his\/her ability to become an orderly and law-abiding member of society with the assistance of a probation officer. Various entities participate in performing tasks in particular phases of conditional release, particularly the Prison Service, the courts, the Czech Probation and Mediation Service, social curators and organisations providing social services. The aim of the research presented was to ascertain to what extent implementation of this provision is successful in practice, particularly in terms of recidivism and re-socialisation of the persons released. These findings should aid gradual improvement in the activity of the authorities involved and in their mutual cooperation.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ok.cz\/iksp\/docs\/348.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.ok.cz\/iksp\/docs\/348.pdf<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-fancy su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Denmark<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><strong>1.<\/strong> Andersen, L.

University Press of Southern Denmark.<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Abstract<\/span>: Many Western countries now use electronic monitoring (EM) of some offenders<br \/>\nas an alternative to more traditional forms of punishments such as imprisonment.<br \/>\nWhile the main reason for introducing EM is the growing prison population,<br \/>\npoliticians and administrators also believe that this type of punishment achieves a<br \/>\npositive effect by reducing recidivism and the probability of post-release<br \/>\nmarginalization. The small existing empirical literature on the effect of EM finds<br \/>\nmixed support for this belief, but is, however, based on very small sample sizes.<br \/>\nWe expand this literature by studying the causal effect of EM on social benefit<br \/>\ndependency after the sentence has been served. We use administrative data from<br \/>\nStatistics Denmark that include information on all Danish offenders who have<br \/>\nserved their sentence under EM rather than in prison. We compare post-release<br \/>\ndependency rates for this group with outcomes for a historical control group of<br \/>\nconvicted offenders who would have served their sentences with EM had the<br \/>\noption been available \u2013 i.e. who are identical to the EM group on all observed and<br \/>\nunobserved characteristics. We find that serving a sentence with EM significantly<br \/>\ndecreases the dependency rates after release.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rff.dk\/files\/RFF-site\/Publikations%20upload\/Arbejdspapirer\/Losing%20the%20stigma%20of%20incarceration_40.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.rff.dk\/files\/RFF-site\/Publikations%20upload\/Arbejdspapirer\/Losing%20the%20stigma%20of%20incarceration_40.pdf<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>2.<\/strong> \u00ab\u00a0Indberetning af vilk\u00e5rsovertr\u00e6delser for samfundstjenested\u00f8mte\u00a0\u00bb (2007).

Moreover, those offenders who had problems of addiction to substances had the possibility of receiving a customized care.<\/p>\n<p>The survey confirmed that the participation of family members or the presence of professionals are crucial points of reference in effective programmes of social inclusion, since they are of help in overcoming the difficulties in carrying out the measure.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, two important data arising from this survey should deserve to be analysed more in depth, because of their importance and their impact on practitioners. The first one is that the migrant does not consider the alternative measure as a deflationary measure; the second one concerns the positive evaluation made by some foreign offenders of the period which they spent in prison, before they were granted a community sanction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong>&nbsp;F.

A case study was carried out, through a quantitative longitudinal research, among those who ended their assignment to the probation service in 1998, verifying whether they perpetrated new crimes until 2005. The result was that only 19% of those who were assigned to the probation service re-offended in that period, while 68% of those who were in prison re-offended.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the assignment to the probation service can be considered as a valid solution to solve the problems of prison overcrowding, while guaranteeing, at the same time, good results in terms of offenders\u2019 social reinsertion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong>&nbsp;F. Leonardi, <i>Drug-addiction and measures alternatives to detention: the recidivism risk among the persons assigned to the probation service, <\/i>in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Rassegna Penitenziaria e Criminologica<\/span>, 2009, vol. 1, pages 5-30.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming that drug-addiction may affect people\u2019s criminal behaviours, the addiction to alcohol or to drugs was surveyed for a sample of persons assigned to the probation service who ended that measure alternative to detention in 1998. For all of them, the recidivism rate was calculated by ascertaining the perpetration of further crimes until 2005. The result was compared with the result of convicted people who were granted the assignment to the probation service in special cases, a measure dedicated to drug-addicts and alcohol-addicts who accept to undergo a therapeutic rehabilitation programme.<\/p>\n<p>The recidivism rate found among drug-addicts is the same, whether when they are granted the normal measure of assignment to the probation service or when they undergo the measure of assignment in special cases (31%) and that rate is higher than the recidivism rate of those ones who do not show any addiction status (16%), thus confirming that addiction is one of the reasons for a higher inclination to offend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong>&nbsp;A. Deriu and L. Morgante: <i>The measures alternative to detention and the rehabilitation treatment in the new proposals of reform of the Italian Penitentiary Act, <\/i>in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Rassegna Penitenziaria e Criminologica<\/span>, 2004, vol. 2, pages 212-237.<\/p>\n<p>The article takes one proposal of reform of the Italian Penitentiary Act as a starting point for the analysis of the current situation of the system of community sanctions and measures in Italy. Those sanctions and measures were introduced in Italy by the reform [of the penitentiary law] of 1975 and initially enabled the offenders to serve one part of their sentence to imprisonment in the community. The legislative amendments brought afterwards, although they were enforced incoherently, led to establish a penitentiary area of action situated outside the prisons, and which today is almost autonomous from the prisons. Our system, however, still has some anomalous aspects in comparison with the European models of probation: our alternative measures, with a few exceptions, are granted in the execution phase, instead of being ordered in the process phase. The penitentiary reform, moreover, has never been coordinated with a more general review of the system of punishments. That coordination would have allowed to include those measures in the penal code, turning them into statutory penalties, thus reducing the recourse to imprisonment only to the cases of true need, as well as enforcing sanctions more rapidly and being certain that punishment fits the crime. This was the intention of the parliamentary commissions which worked on hypothesis of reform of the general part of the criminal code during the previous periods of office of the legislature. Those proposals had complicated parliamentary paths, and could not be approved. The current sanctioning system, therefore, is still based upon imprisonment, has a system of too flexible punishments and has a limited recourse to community sanctions and measures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong>&nbsp;M.

Nevertheless, many employees report that they have had experiences that have been unpleasant or hard to handle. In several offices, this has lead to different kinds of actions; physical and statical measures like alarm systems and closed doors, organisational measures like meeting points and communication lines, and dynamic measures like communication and cooperation solving the tasks. The probation offices solve these tasks in different ways. One of our hypotheses in the study was to identify a \u201ctraditional\u201d versus \u201cmodern\u201d organisation culture. We did not succeed in that. The relatively small number of reported incidences did not give us any clear direction or strategy that seemed better in coping with violence and threats against staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2<\/strong>.

Implementing sentences with electronic monitoring in Norway The aim of the pilot project was to try out a form of implementing sentences that gave flexibility and prevented waiting lists for the serving of sentences. This was supposed to lead to increased quality in the serving of sentences and to lead to lower recidivism. Increased flexibility in the serving of sentences points to both the correctional service&rsquo;s need of renewal and adaptation in relation to local partners in the public services. At the same time, increased flexibility will provide increased opportunities for accommodating an individual in his or her serving of a sentence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4<\/strong>. Rokkan, Tore.

In order to achieve this objective, the correctional service has a focus both on content that will ensure positive development while a sentence is being served, and on content that facilitates the offender in taking responsibility for his or her own change. The report presents a measurement of the recidivism of offenders who served their sentences with EM in 2008 and 2009. The measurement shows recidivism among them of slightly more than 10 % (N=900). A more differentiated picture appears when we divide it into crime categories: people convicted of property crimes, drug-related crimes and crimes of violence more often reoffend, whilst people convicted of economic crimes (fraud, embezzlement, etc.), driving intoxicated and other traffic offences reoffend to a lesser degree.

The personality traits are differently at play when we compare minors who commit a crime with recidivists committing two or more crimes. Some suggestions concerning the juvenile justice system are discussed, focusing on the need for special training for professionals working with juvenile offenders. An optimal solution is multidisciplinary team building and monitoring the evolution of the offender&rsquo;s behavior and value system.<br \/>\n<strong>4.<\/strong> Roth, Maria and Tica, Gabriel (2012). Are Former Male Inmates Excluded from Social Life? in European Journal of Probation, Vol 4, No 2.<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Abstract:<\/span> Based on Becker\u2019s conceptualization of deviance, the phenomena of labelling and stigmatization of people who commit antisocial acts will result in their social marginalization and exclusion, which may result in relapse into criminal behavior. By the means of qualitative research, this paper looks at different forms of social exclusion, as possible catalysts of male recidivism in Romania. Turning away from the perspective that the offender alone is responsible for the acts he committed and for his own rehabilitation, the authors demonstrate that social exclusion was experienced by recidivists in different ways, favouring the perpetration of antisocial acts. The identified spheres of social exclusion that mainly need to be targeted by social policies and social assistance are: employment, housing, family relationships and social networks.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ejprob.ro\/uploads_ro\/768\/Exclusion_and_recidivism.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.ejprob.ro\/uploads_ro\/768\/Exclusion_and_recidivism.pdf<\/a> <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-fancy su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Spain: Catalonia<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> MARTIN BARBERAN, J., 2005 \u00ab\u00a0Juvenile penal mediation in Spain: the experience of Catalonia\u00a0\u00bb.pp. 347-371 in A.

CEJFE, Barcelona.<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Abstract:<\/span> The present work aspires to serve as the first approximation to an evaluation of the current model of execution of sentences for community service in the current sentencing model, starting from the valuation of the presence of the elements that criminological research has identified as relevant (e.g. rehabilitation of convicts sentenced to community work). In order to do so, a qualitative research was realised, using interviews of a sample of convicted persons having fulfilled a sentence of community service in the province of Barcelona between October 2008 and January 2009. The goal was to know their perception on the presence of such elements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> VILLACAMPA,C.TORRES,N.
