Cooperation of a Probation Officer with a Rehabilitation Center Applying a Therapeutic Community Treatment in the Scope of Enforcement of Criminal Judgments
Journal Title: Theory and Practice of Social Systems Management - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the article is to address the unresolved issue of cooperation of a probation officer with a rehabilitation center that applies a therapeutic community treatment in the enforcement of criminal judgments. The paper refers to the therapeutic community model of treatment in the Addiction Treatment Center “Zapowiednik” in Opalenie, with which the author has been cooperating for many years, performing the probation officer duties. The author assumes that the rehabilitation treatment is the core element of the rehabilitation process for convicts serving a stationary rehabilitation therapy and those under the supervision of the probation officer as well as the ones who perform the penalty of restriction of freedom. The success of such a treatment determines the correct course of the trial period and a proper implementation of the obligations imposed on it. It also provides a basis for the belief that the convicts will not find themselves in conflict with the law again because it is the addiction that is often the direct or indirect cause of a crime. The paper describes the rehabilitation performance of the centre in Opalenie and then outlines the key issues of the therapeutic community method. With regard to the enforcement proceedings concerning patients undergoing treatment in Opalenie, the paper reveals the main aspects of cooperation with therapeutic staff in terms of supervision by a probation officer and the diagnosis of a patient’s situation during the period of relapse. The author also scrutinizes the issues of classification and reclassification of addicts with a higher risk of criminal recidivism as well as request applications to extend the deadline for performing the imposed financial obligations and the penalty of restriction of liberty pursuant to art. 83 of the Penal Code and Article 64 § 1 of the Penal Code. The last part indicates the differences in working with a probationers in their open social environment and those remaining in rehabilitation centers. Without an adequate cooperation and information flow between the therapeutic staff and a probation officer it is not possible to succeed in enforcing criminal judgments in relation to a person who is staying in a center that applies a therapeutic community treatment.
