Legal bases and organizational support for improving criminal penalties execution in Russia (taking into account the international experience of probation)
The purpose of this study is to consider the issues of improving the execution of sentences in Russia, taking into account the foreign experience of probation in countries such as England and the Republic of Kazakhstan. A comparative analysis of activities among employees of Penal inspections of the Russian Federation and employees of the Probation service of foreign countries is partially carried out. There are certain differences in the organization of employees’ work for monitoring and supervision of persons sentenced to punishments not connected with deprivation of freedom in Russia and foreign countries. The experience of pretrial reporting in England and the interaction of the Probation service with the court were interesting. Special attention should be paid to the organization of the Probation service in the Republic of Kazakhstan, since it has been performing its functions for 4 years and has a positive experience. The nature of tasks for the execution of noncustodial sentences in Russia and Kazakhstan has been established. These tasks help employees achieve their main goals and perform their work at the proper level. The tasks defined by the law are part of the job descriptions that employees of both the Probation service and the Penal Inspection are required to observe and implement. The directions of improving criminal penalties execution that are not associated with isolation from society, taking into account foreign experience in the field under study, are defined.
