The penal enforcement system as a subject of prevention of recidivism

In order to successfully prevent recidivism, it is necessary to study its specifics and main indicators, the personality characteristics of a recidivist criminal; to identify the causes, conditions and factors contributing to the commission of recidivist crimes. The study and analysis of these materials will contribute to a better prevention of recidivism, which is important to carry out constantly, in the interaction of law enforcement agencies (primarily the penal enforcement system and internal affairs bodies). The implementation of measures to prevent recidivism, based on a scientific analysis of the operational situation, criminological research data and the forecast of the state of crime, will allow employees of the penal enforcement system and internal affairs agencies to systematically carry out preventive and preventive work with persons in correctional institutions (during the period of serving a sentence) and at their place of residence, work or training (in post-retirement period). Measures to prevent recidivism should correspond to the realities of the socio-economic development of the regions and comprehensive crime prevention plans. For the effective implementation of these activities, it is necessary to form among the employees of institutions of the penal enforcement system an awareness of the need to apply theoretical knowledge in professional activities, a sense of responsibility in the performance of professional duties. The penal enforcement system, as a subject of prevention of recidivism, qualitatively performs the tasks assigned to it, however, the stability of indicators characterizing the state of recidivism indicates the need to develop additional measures for its prevention and prevention.
