!!!Bewährungshilfe
Probation, help for offenders after a conditional sentence or release
from custody or court order. During the probationary period, the
offenders are assisted individually by social workers to assist the
rehabilitation process and prevent relapses. Probation assistance is
therefore regarded as a specialised branch of social work. The
Association for Probation Service and Social Work, as contracting
party of the Ministry of Justice, services in the fields of probation
service, out-of-court settlements and help for released offenders.
They look after approx. 12,000 people every year.
