Case management system
In 2011, the European project DOMICE delivered schematic overviews of the case management in probation in almost every jurisdiction in Europe. As a part of CEP’s initiative to enhance the implementation and use of the Framework Decisions on the transfer of probation sanctions and of alternatives to pre-trial detention, these overviews are currently being updated and upgraded. The updated maps give a general understanding of how a probation system works in a very accessible way. To understand the ways in which different European jurisdictions arrange and deliver the case management of accused persons and convicted offenders within correctional systems, please download one of the Case Management System Maps below and open them in slideshow modus. Is the country you are looking for not in the list below yet? Please visit the Domice project website to view Case Management System Maps dated 2011 – 2012. The maps are still in process of updating, so please visit this page regularly for a full update.
Probation in Europe book
The idea of describing the probation systems around Europe is not something new. The first attempt was the book ‘Probation in Europe’ written by Thomas William Trought and published in 1927 (Trought, 1927). The book mainly dealt with questions about what probation is and how it can be defined. This book is now available on the CEP website, together with other ‘Probation in Europe’ publications.
