Sažetak
One of important goals of imprisonment is to achieve general and special prevention. However, given the ever-present possibility of repeating a crime, the return of prisoners to the community is of concern to the public, but it is also a challenge for practitioners and legislators. Criminal recidivism is certainly the responsibility of the individual, but the question is how much society can contribute to the prevention of this phenomenon. This paper analyzes the need to work on reducing criminal recidivism from the point of strengthening the individual's responsibility and motivation to change, as well as from the perspective of society's and key stakeholders’ responsibility for activities and facilities that need to address the criminogenic needs of prisoners and released prisoners.
For the effective imprisonment and social reintegration of released prisoners, three systems are crucial in Republic of Croatia - the prison system, probation system and social welfare system, and in recent years the non-governmental sector has become an increasingly important factor in this process. Therefore, this paper will analyze contemporary knowledge regarding effective prison aftercare as well as achievements and challenges in Republic of Croatia.
The concluding remarks summarize the positive developments and initiatives in prison aftercare in Republic of Croatia with an emphasis on the need to further improve and research prison aftercare practice in our country.
