JCN,
Justice Cooperation Network
European treatment and Transition
management of High Risk Offenders
The Context
At present there are different definitions and standards
throughout the EU in working with prisoners on release
and in defining high risk offenders at a time when
freedom of movement facilitates easy movement.
The risks arising from this can be mitigated if transEuropean networks among all professionals concerned
facilitate exchange of best practices and other essential
information.
The Funding Programme
The JCN project was funded by the European
Commission in the framework of the Criminal Justice
Programme
Objectives
• The project objective is to develop a European
network for best practice of transition management
of prisoners leaving custody with a focus on high
risk offenders.
Main Activities 1/2
• Development of common definitions in the field of
offenders and transition management.
• Comparison of existing systems of transition
management.
• Analysis of the existing elements and programmes in
the partner countries.
Main Activities 2/2
• Development of a model for the handling of
offenders. Development of minimum standards.
• Sharing of the findings of the project with States
beyond the project partners through the
organization of a final conference.
Expected results 1/2
1) Transnational workshops organized in Estonia,
