Enforcement Measures of Educational Influence: Problems of Imposition and Application

Abstract

The article is based on the study of the work of Commission on Minor's Affairs and protection of their rights, the submitted accounts and records, and criminal cases. The author examines some of the problems of the low efficiency of the practice of application of forced measures of educational influence, which are imposed on the minors. The article examines a complex of problems: from the poorly studied families of minors to difficulties in defining the powers conferred upon these commissions. The author suggests some solutions to these problems, including taking into account positive foreign experience. Unfortunately, the lack of specialized bodies, obliged to monitor the imposition of enforcement measures of educational influence, reduces their effectiveness. It appears that such a body might well be the probation service. The article substantiates the necessity of introduction of the probation Institute into the domestic law enforcement practice.
