SOME OPEN ISSUES CONCERNING THE RESOCIALIZATION OF THE CONVICTED PEOPLE

Abstract

Today, it is rightly considered that issues related to the selection and use of
tools and methods with which the resocialization (treatment) is realized, has
increasingly become the main issue of penology. The issuesthatoccur as most actual
andtypicalwill be examinedhere inshortlines. Usually, when it comes to general
principles the notion treatment, deals with all criminal sanctions, but it requires the
application of tools and methods specific to every sanction separately, depending
on its specific nature. Given the more frequent application of imprisonment, as the
most used measure to fight criminality, today, without reason, the utmost attention
is fixed on the treatment applied during the conduction of this sentence. Therefore,
not coincidentally also this term (treatment) is exactly identified with this sentence.
Regarding this definition the need for clear subject - substantial definition of the
notion treatmentin general and its elaboration and processing related with specific
way sofimplementationandexecution of certain penal sanctions is also emphasized.
In this regard, fully entitled are those authors who claim that the treatment for
thesentencesofinstitutional characterandthoseofnon-institutionalcharactercan not
(and should not) be the same. Here it comes to qualitative substantial differences
that require the application of clear means and methods, defined and differentiated
in the realization of resocialization.
