THE CONCEPT OF PUNISHMENT FOR FORCED PUBLIC WORK AND THE PROCEDURE FOR ITS APPOINTMENT

Abstract

This article describes the concept of punishment in the form of compulsory community service and the procedure for its appointment. The article also provides an analysis of issues such as expanding the range of punishments as an alternative to imprisonment, as well as reducing the imposition of punishments as a form of imprisonment by motivating them to perform compulsory community service. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms for reducing the use of imprisonment through the formation of legal incentives that motivate convicts to perform socially useful work. In addition, the introduction of mandatory community service into national legislation makes it possible to reduce the likelihood of convicted persons committing repeated crimes by ensuring effective control over the behavior of the convicted person, preventing convicts from entering the criminal environment while maintaining a normal lifestyle. As a result, the integration of the convicted person into the criminal subculture is prevented, his family ties, employment and a normal lifestyle are preserved, which ensure a high degree of social adaptation and prevents the commission of repeated crimes.
