Abstract

The topic of this paper is analysis of implementation of the institute of conditional release in practice of the courts of the Republic of Serbia in the period from 2011 to 2015, based on the population of persons released on parole from the penal-correctional institutions in Sremska Mitrovica, Požarevac and Niš, on one hand, and the analysis of media reporting on this institute, based on electronic issues of daily newspapers Politika, Večernje novosti and Blic, on the other hand. The first part of the paper consists of a general statistical analysis of implementation of parole at the level of penal-correctional institutions, as well as the level of courts. The second part of the paper reviews current court practice, where special emphasis was put to court decisions which could be characterized as examples of good or bad practice. The third part of the paper deals with media reporting on conditional release, with a special review of differentiation of the news which are directly linked with the general purpose and implementation of this institute in practice from the news which are more linked with persons who in given cases submitted applications for parole. Finally, the last part of the paper offers general standpoints on implementation of conditional release in the practice of courts and media reporting in the Republic of Serbia.
