Sažetak
The security measure of compulsory psychosocial treatment referred to in Article 70 of the Criminal Code (Official Gazette, Nos. 125/11, 144/12, 56/15, 61/15, 101/17, 118/18, 126/19 and 84/21) is implemented in accordance with the Ordinance on the enforcement of psychosocial treatment imposed on the perpetrator of a criminal offence characterised by violence (Official Gazette 103/18), with the purpose of eliminating and preventing further violent behaviour of the perpetrator. The implementation, monitoring and supervision of the enforcement of psychosocial treatment is the responsibility of an expert commission appointed by the minister responsible for justice, whose members are representatives of the ministries responsible for justice, social policy and health, the academic community, and also representatives of legal or natural persons specialised in eliminating violent behaviour (hereinafter: legal or natural persons) drawn from the ranks of experts who directly perform psychosocial treatment and/ or participate in the organisation of the implementation of psychosocial treatment. In accordance with the cited Ordinance, psychosocial treatment is performed in the prison system, in probation, in the health care system and with legal or natural persons, and is carried out by psychiatrists, psychologists, social pedagogues and social workers, in accordance with special Standards. The paper presents the manner of performing psychosocial treatment in different systems and the challenges in its implementation faced by the competent institutions and legal entities, i.e. experts who perform treatment. Finally, the paper gives recommendations for measures and activities that can contribute to further improving the imposition and execution of psychosocial treatment to better fulfil its purpose.
