Rehabilitación social y resocialización de los privados de Libertad en Ucrania 1035
Vol. 15(3) julio - diciembre 2025/ 1031 - 1048
Analysis of recent research
e above-mentioned issues are of great importance for ensuring a balance between punish-
ment and rehabilitation of individuals in society. Convicts become the object of attention of scien-
tists, lawyers, sociologists and psychologists due to the need to develop effective approaches to their
social rehabilitation (Bocheliuk, 2023).
Various aspects of the problem of resocialization of convicts are the subject of research in a
number of works by Ukrainian sociologists, criminologists, psychologists, representatives of other
fields and sciences. ese include, in particular, V. Borisov, V. Batyrgareeva, V. Golina, O. Dzhuzha,
E. Moiseyev, V. Nalyvayko, O. Nezhyvets, V. Panasevich, I. Yakovets.
Scientific works by foreign scientists are devoted to certain issues related to the above-men-
tioned issues. Among the main ones, it is worth mentioning studies related to the emphasis on the
disciplinary impact on convicts (Lei, 1984; Bastos, 1997; Laville & Dionne, 1999; Ribeiro & Cruz,
2002; Lima, 2007; Costa & Bratkowski, 2007; Goulart, 2009), the economic and social conse-
quences of prisoner labor (Browne, 2007; Zatz, 2008; Goldberg & Linda, 2009; Fletcher, 2011;
Lebaron, 2012). It should be noted that the relevant studies do not fully cover therapeutic and re-
socialization factors. e process of social rehabilitation and resocialization of persons released from
prison, in our opinion, should be based not so much on the eradication of negative character traits
of a former convict, but on the formation of positive qualities in him.
Among scientific works at the international level, we consider those works that are based on
individual and social aspects of resocialization and social adaptation and, directly or indirectly,
relate to the issues of motivation, reward, social duty, material satisfaction, reward, and improving
the quality of life to be worthy of special attention (Isaksen, 2000; Coutinho, 2009; Rosso et al.,
2010; Andrade et al., 2012; Rodrigues & Barrichello, 2015; Ortega Monge, 2019; Palacin Guido
& Álvarez, 2023).
Paying tribute to the scientific works of the above and other scientists, we note that at the cur-
rent stage of scientific development, the issue of resocialization and social adaptation of convicts,
certain aspects of the attitude of the state to society and its influence on the resocialization process
requires additional study in terms of studying world experience in this area and determining the
prospects for its application in Ukraine and other developing countries.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
e essence and content of resocialization
Resocialization belongs to the social concepts used in almost all social sciences. It is directly
related to the category of “socialization”, as evidenced by a detailed analysis and grammatical in-
terpretation of the above concepts. Taking into account the prefix “re-” makes it possible to define
resocialization as “restoration or repetition of an action”, “counteraction” to the asocial degradation
of the individual”.
In Part 2 of Article 6 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the concept of “resocialization” is
defined as “the conscious restoration of a convict in the social status of a full member of society;
his return to an independent, generally accepted socio-normative life in society”. e Law calls the
correction of the convict a necessary condition for resocialization. Means of correction and resocial-
