Sažetak
Resettlement is a very complex and demanding area and there is not enough political, social, financial, and professional attention paid to it, definitely not in Republic of Croatia, but also not in other countries.
This topic, if we are talking about adult offenders who have been sentenced to imprisonment, is not represented enough in the contemporary professional and scientific literature in Croatia. According to the information available to the author, there are no recent research about resettlement in our country.
This paper seeks to highlight the importance of prison aftercare protection and successful reintegration of released prisoners, in terms of protecting the prisoners, their families, known and potential victims and society in general. Paper also aims to provide a support to state and public institutions and the NGO sector in creating thoughtful and scientifically based measures of prison aftercare protection.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a knowledge about evidence-based practice and effectiveness of interventions undertaken in Republic of Croatia in the field of resettlement. The goals of the paper are: (1) to contribute to a better understanding of “resettlement terminology”, which is important for scientists and practitioners working in that area, (2) to examine the results of contemporary empirical research in the context of improving current Croatian practice and (3) to stimulate an academic interest for the prison aftercare problems.
Concluding remarks include recommendations for the use of terminology related to resettlement area and the ideas how to improve resettlement in Republic of Croatia. In addition to that, some new topics and areas were offered that would need to be further analyzed through papers and scientific research in our country.
