ABSTRACT. Probation as a Set of community Sanctions and Measures. The Authority of Implementation. Some Difficulties in assimilating probation inside Romanian Criminal Proceedings. Romanian probation system is already 10 years old (1997-2007). After an experimental stage, today, probation has a legal framework based on European Council Recommendation R (92)16 concerning European rules regarding community sanctions and measures. Also, nowadays, 41 probation services are functioning near by each county court from Romania. Despite these, there are a lot of people who never heard about probation or who are not sure what community sanctions and measures mean or how effective they are in comparison with prison punishment. In this light, this article has two aims: on one hand, it tries to show some aspects of probation system’s evolution, making references on other European probation systems with a longer or shorter tradition; on the other hand, this article makes an exam of Romanian’s jurisprudence and underlines some difficulties met by probation service during it’s involvement in each stage of a criminal trial.
