Probation measures and alternative sanctions in the European Union

The free movement of citizens within the European Union has been increasingly simplified, which means that nowadays more and more sentences are imposed to non-residents and, as a consequence, have to be executed on the territory of other Member States. An effective application of the Framework Decision 2008/947/JHA of 27 November 2008 that allows the recognition and supervision of probation measures in a Member State other than the one that pronounced the sentence is therefore essential in order to ensure an adequate enforcement of such sentences in the European Union. Through a thorough analysis of the national probation systems in the light of the obligations arisen from the EU Framework Decision, this book presents a comprehensive comparative study and promotes necessary mutual understanding.
