Sažetak
The type of sanction that best fits the concept of juvenile probation in Croatia is called Intensified Care and Supervision (ICS). This sanction is an educational measure that can last from 6 months to 2 years. As all probation sanctions, it is intended for juvenile offenders with low to medium criminogenic risk. Conducting of this measure is entrusted to the centres for social welfare, while ICS measure leaders (juvenile probation officers) can be professionals working in the centres or part- time associates (external measure leaders). This paper presents a short historical and legal background of ICS in Croatia, describes the basic principles of process and impact evaluation, and elaborates in more details basic methodological elements of the first national study of ICS, key results, limitations and implications for practice.
