THREE-STEP MODEL OF PREVENTION OF VIOLATIONS: GENERAL-SPECIAL-RELATIONSHIP OF SINGLE MECHANISMS

Аннотация

This thesis analyzes the theoretical foundations of the Prevention of violations in a systematic approach and reveals the functional relationship between the mechanisms of general, special and single prevention. General prevention is justified as a set of universal measures aimed at improving the social environment and lowering risk factors; while special Prevention is characterized as a mechanism of action through targeted programs in relation to certain types of offenses or risk groups. Single Prevention provides for the implementation of targeted work, rehabilitation and control measures on high-risk individuals according to an individual plan. The thesis shows on a scientific basis that the conceptual fragmentation within the framework of national legislation (laws of 2010 and 2014), the “transition criteria” between types of prevention are not clearly defined, and the institutional mechanisms of interagency cooperation and accountability are not sufficiently strengthened.

Also conceptually substantiated are the risk assessment standard, case management, and proposals to increase the addressing and consequentiality of prevention through a single electronic system.
