THE ROLE OF DISTRICT POLICE COMMISSIONERS IN THE APPLICATION OF POST-PENITENTIARY PROBATION IN RELATION TO PERSONS RELEASED FROM INSTITUTIONS OF THE PENAL SYSTEM

In the work, based on the main elements of the purpose of the institute of probation, the authors analyze the concept of "social behavior", on the basis of which the conclusion is substantiated that the district police commissioner has no obligation to conduct educational and correctional work with persons in respect of whom probation is applied. Based on the analysis of federal legislation, the authors argue that the competence of the district commissioner does not include assistance in the resocialization, social adaptation and social rehabilitation of this category of persons. Taking into account that one of the tasks of the precinct police commissioners is the prevention of crimes and administrative offenses, the provision on the admissibility of the actions of the precinct commissioners with persons in respect of whom probation is applied, within the framework of general prevention, is put up for discussion
