Sažetak
Probation, which was introduced in Croatia only in the last decade, has its origins in the United States of the mid-19th century. Probation works have been present in several European countries for more than a century and they represent an important segment of work with offenders. While in the beginning probation work included certain forms of social work with offenders, it has recently developed toward the elaboration and implementation of instruments for risk assessment and assessment of offender's needs, assistance to judges when reaching a decision and supervision of obligations and/or restrains ordered to the offender in the community. In order to enable different forms of offender aid, probation systems are increasingly oriented toward cooperation with other state institutions and the non-governmental sector. After the adoption of the Probation Act and establishment of the Directorate for Probation and Support to Victims and Witnesses within the Ministry of Justice, the first probation offices and professional probation officers began their work in Croatia in 2011. The beginning of functioning of the probation system in Croatia also resulted in opening a complex question of the cooperation model of the new system with other systems, within which this article deals with the particularly important segment of cooperation between the probation and the social care system.
