Abstract
This study aims at analyzing an institution regulated in the Penal Code of the Kingdom of Sweden designated as contractual probation. This is a solution introduced into the criminal law of Sweden in 1988 and was intended to be, on the one hand, an alternative to a punishment of imprisonment, and, on the other hand, it is designed to fill the gap left by the removing from the criminal law of Sweden the protective measure in the form of therapy – outpatient treatment. The focal part of the solution is the nature of the crime committed, the specific health condition of the offender requiring treatment and the fact that this health condition of the offender is directly related to the commission of the crime, as well as the expression of the offender’s willingness to be treated in accordance with a treatment plan. This article is the first in a series of works aiming to present the solutions in force in the Kingdom of Sweden. Further articles will concern the juxtaposition of Polish solutions with Swedish ones in order to build a model that will be a response to the difficulties plaguing the Polish system.
