SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON THE PURPOSE AND ESSENCE OF PROBATION

Аннотация

This article, within the framework of a historical and comparative legal analysis of the probation institute, examines the issues of serving sentences, the purpose and essence of probation in the execution of sentences, and its social functions from a scientific and theoretical perspective. In various countries of the world, attempts have been made to illuminate the legal nature of the probation service in sentencing, parole, and the execution of alternative sentences. Also, within the framework of this service, the best practices of Scandinavian countries, the USA, Great Britain, and other countries were touched upon, and the foundations and modern functions of implementing probation in the form of a social service were outlined.
