Abstract
The purpose of the study. The article considers indicators reflecting the direct and indirect results of social work with convicts. At the same time, the work notes that despite the regulatory framework, which specifies measures to work with this category of individuals, there are currently no specific indicators of the effectiveness of social work with convicts in the legislation. The lack of clear and measurable indicators of the effectiveness of such work raises a number of problems. According to various sociological studies and departmental statistics, today the proportion of repeat crimes is 68%. This percentage indicates that society is still facing a serious problem of recidivism, thereby emphasizing the ineffectiveness of the existing social work with convicts.
Conclusions. Based on the conducted research, the indicators determining the effectiveness of social work with convicts have been identified. The author concludes that the specifics of the Russian penitentiary system require transformation and proposes an author’s methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of social work with convicts, which takes into account both the direct results of the measures taken and the indirect effects of re-socialization. It is important to note that the assessment of such work should be comprehensive and take into account various indicators, since it is important to obtain reliable information about the effectiveness of the measures taken and make the necessary adjustments to the work of social services.
