Nuteistų asmenų resocializacijos lūkesčiai

Abstract

Social integration of the convicts and people discharged from the institutions of imprisonment is one of the negotiable issues in our country. Re-socialization phenomenon has been widely discussed in recent scientific educology references following the advanced experience of such countries as Canada, Scandinavia etc. This experience would make the convicts' reintegration process easier and it would prevent criminality, especially the repeated one. According to European experience, the more convicts there are in the society, the higher the level of criminality is: the spread of psychosocial vices starts in the society and in the course of time it is more difficult to control it. Existing re-socialization system of the convicts and people discharged from the institutions of imprisonment in Lithuania is not adequate. The survey aim is to reveal the convicts' re-socialization expectations. The task is 1) to describe the re-socialization state of the convicts with reference to scientific and empirical research data; 2) to reveal the convicts' educational needs. The survey objective is the convicts' re-socialization expectations. Survey results from the European Communities initiative Equal program implementation project "Crossroad: Coalition for Strengthening Equal Possibilities in the Labour Market" have been used in this article. The target group of the survey is 113 convicts (males) at the Lukiskes Inquisition Ward—Prison whose release is due in less than one year. According to the survey data, the conclusion is that people having lower than secondary education commit the majority of crimes. Moreover, younger convicts (18—24 years old) are more motivated from the vocational point of view than people of other age groups. It has also been defined that convicts brought up by their biological parents have warmer and more open relationship with them than those who were not raised in such families. In addition, the majority of convicts.
