On the Issue of the Relevance of Introducing a Point System for Assessing the Degree of Correction of Convicts When Considering Their Parole: Abstracts of a Report at a Meeting of the Scientific Advisory Council Under the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation

Based on the results of a critical analysis of the criminal law and penal regulation of the criteria for deciding on the conditional early release of a convicted person from punishment and the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated April 21, 2009 No. 8 "On judicial practice of conditional early release from serving a sentence, replacing the unserved part of the sentence with a more lenient type of punishment", the conclusion is that it is necessary to find a new integrated approach, including in the context of preventing the commission of new crimes. As part of the discussion, it is proposed to discuss the theoretical possibility, using various information technologies, of introducing a point system for assessing the degree of correction of convicts, when appropriate points will be added or subtracted for their specific positive or delinquent actions, as well as when applying incentive and punishment measures.
