The use of precautionary measures in Poland as a form of protection of society against certain perpetrators. The role of a probation officer in their enforcement

Journal Title: The Polish Journal of Criminology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

In 2015, a major reform carried out in the scope of adjudication and execution of precautionary measures took place in Poland. As a result, not only the catalog of possible measures was expanded, but also the circle of persons against whom such measures can be ruled. However, the reasons for their application have not changed - preventing the perpetrator from a repetition of the same infringement. The effectiveness of precautionary measures used is primarily determined by the manner of enforcement. Due to the above, most attention in the article was devoted to their use, focusing primarily to the role of the probation officer in this regard. He enforces precautionary measures in the form of electronic control of the place of stay as well as orders and prohibitions referred to in art. 39 points 2-3 of the Penal Code. Moreover, he may also apply supervision, which is adjudicated against certain perpetrators due to the use of a precautionary measure in the form of therapy and addiction therapy. The article ends with conclusions and de lege ferenda postulates.<br/><br/>
