REHABILITATION IMPLIES TAILORING OF TREATMENT, WITHIN A PUNITIVE CONCEPT OF PENAL SANCTIONS.
Abstract
INDIVIDUALIZATION OF TREATMENT REQUIRES JUDICIAL DISCRETION IN SENTENCING, CAREFUL OBSERVATION OF THE OFFENDER, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF CHANGE IN TREATMENT DICTATED BY THE OFFENDER'S PROGRESS. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF NON- AND SEMI-DETENTIVE TREATMENT MEASURES THAT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AS WHOLE OR PARTIAL SUBSTITUTES FOR IMPRISONMENT. --IN ITALIAN
