| Popis: | In 2008, during the process of implementation of European standards, the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Serbia started a project of establishing an alternative sanctions system. The alternative sanctions were introduced into our legislation as a response to an overload of prison capacities, absence of individual or group penal rehabilitation treatment, high levels of deprivation in convicts and frequent recidivism. The subjects of the research are the convicts serving prison sentences or being in house arrest. The aim of the research was to analyze the relations between the modality of sentence serving with recidivism risk score and previous conviction. The research included 120 convicts from Padinska Skela Detention and Rehabilitation Facility and nine probation offices. The obtained results indicate that those convicted to prison time and those placed under house arrest statistically significantly differed in relation to their recidivism risk score, however, there were no observable differences in their legal and penal recidivism levels. Furthermore, those placed under house arrest with or without electronic surveillance did not differ in any of the analyzed characteristics. |
