Abstract

Assessing the risks of committing a repeated criminal offense is the process and result of analyzing the impact of risk factors on the probability of the criminal behavior of the convict, its possible consequences, determination of criminogenic needs and measures in order to minimize them. During 2021, according to the information of the State Criminal and Executive Service of Ukraine, 53750 assessments of the risk of committing a repeated criminal offense by those sentenced to imprisonment were entered into the “CASANDRA” subsystem: the first – 34681, the intermediate – 15527, and the final – 3543. During the period from 2021 till 2022, 340 heads of social and psychological service departments of social, educational and psychological service departments of penal institutions and pretrial detention centers were trained in the Territorially Separated Department “Bila Tserkva Branch of the Academy of the State Penitentiary Service”. The results of the survey during the training of heads of departments on the practical application of risk assessment in penal institutions and the comparative analysis of the tool allow us to single out certain aspects of the application of risk assessment and identify gaps in the legislation. The experience of practical use of the new tool is at an initial stage, so there are many questions and points about filling out the risk assessment. This article defines the specifics of the use and application of the risk assessment of repeated criminal offenses by those sentenced to imprisonment (hereinafter referred to as risk assessment) by employees of the departments of social, educational and psychological work with convicts in penal institutions. The legislation regulating the issue of risk assessment has been studied. Key words: assessment of the risk of committing repeated criminal offenses, criminogenic needs, static risk factors, dynamic risk factors.
