| Summary: | The questionnaire for the assessment of risk for those sentenced to
imprisonment for up to three years is the main instrument of assessment used
in penitentiary institutions in Serbia. The results obtained with this
instrument create the basis of categorization, re-categorization of persons
within penal institutions, as well as an argument in deciding in various
criminal matters such as the procedure on the petition for conditional
release. Because objective assessment is a necessity of forensic and
educational work, the validity and reliability of the results obtained by
these instruments is of great importance. In this sense, this paper carries
basic information about the structure and content of the relevant
Questionnaire, clarification on the method of scoring, as well as critical
analysis in relation to its elements. Finally, with regard to perceived
opportunities to improve national practices, this paper offers some
suggestions of correction assessment procedures of convicts. |
