Hrankina V. Supervised probation when executing sentences alternative to imprisonment

This thesis is one of the first works in criminal executive science devoted to a comprehensive study of supervised probation when executing sentences alternative to imprisonment. As a result of thesis research, a specific scientific task was solved, aimed at a comprehensive study of supervised probation application when executing sentences alternative to imprisonment. Probation is defined as a legally based system of social and legal activities, implemented through a symbiosis of control, supervisory and socio-educational measures applied to convicts (and persons released from serving a sentence with probation in accordance with Articles 75, 79, 104 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). In turn, supervised probation is defined as a system of control, supervisory and socio-educational measures in relation to convicted persons sentenced to deprivation of the right to hold specific posts or engage in certain activities, community service, correctional labor, persons whose sentence of restriction of liberty or imprisonment for a certain period was replaced by a sentence of community service or correctional labor, persons released from serving a sentence with probation, pregnant women and women with children under the age of three. Such a system includes elements of follow up activities and monitoring observance of socially acceptable behavior by probationers; fulfillment of duties defined, established and imposed by the court; conducting only necessary intervention into person's life, individualizing criminal punishment execution arrangements and methods. Legislative amendments were proposed to provide counseling services to family members of convicts by probation authorities.
