Kashkina, E.V., Handogina, A.V. Administrative supervision over persons who were released after serving a term in prison: problems of legal practice

Abstract: The article concerns topical issues of application of the legislation of the Russian Federation concerning use of administrative supervision over the persons released after serving a term in prison by the internal affairs officers. Based upon the historical experience of Russia and foreign states the authors offer possible amendments for the legislation of the Russian Federation in this sphere. In particular, they offer to shorten the period for the procedure on administrative supervision cases; to provide the possibility to handle the case in absentia of a person to whom such administrative supervision is assigned; to widen the range of persons for whom preliminary termination of administrative supervision is prohibited; and to redistribute the competences in the sphere of administrative supervision among the law-enforcement (state) bodies, including obligations to control the persons to whom administrative supervision is assigned; to include formation of the probation service into the competence of the criminal penal inspections.
