Wykonywanie środków izolacyjnych orzeczonych wobec nieletnich. Analiza wyników badania

Abstract

The article is about the implementation of isolation measures applied to juveniles, such as a placement in a youth educational centre or a correctional facility. Usually, this is the final stage of formal social control for the unlawful behaviour of children and young people because – due to the age in which they leave these institutions – they will be criminally liable as adults for any subsequent crimes they commit. Hence, work undertaken by educators in isolation institutions for their pupils seems extremely important. The educators of these institutions described how it looks, what is difficult about it, how they perceive their pupils (typical, difficult, or requiring treatment, currently versus ten years ago), and how they evaluate the effects and success of their work in research carried out at the Department of Criminology of the Institute of Law Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2018. The results of this study are presented in the article.
