SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF INDIVIDUAL LIFE ACTIVITIES IN CONDITIONS OF SOCIAL UNCERTAINTY

Abstract

Nowadays, a probation worker , mediator, or probation and mediation official (PMO) play a pivotal and demanding role in our society. It is essential that they possess a comprehensive knowledge base, including social work, criminology, psychology, criminal law, crime prevention, victimology, and sociology. Their professional approach should ensure that their work yields the desired results in civil mediation, probation supervision, or criminal mediation. The primary goal in establishing probation and mediation work within the judiciary was to actively contribute to the implementation of criminal policy within the context of restorative justice, thereby reducing the number of individuals serving prison sentences. Restorative justice, as facilitated through probation work, also safeguards the rights and entitlements of crime victims and plays a significant role in promoting a fair and just society.
