Influence of working engagement of those convinced to deprivation of freedom

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to determine the influence of working engagement of convicts in the course of incarceration on the intensity of deprivation of freedom. The research was conducted in Detention and Rehabilitation Center Sremska Mitrovica. The specimen consisted of 113 convicts who volunteered to participate in the research. The data on deprivation of freedom was obtained by applying Freedom deprivation Scale, whereas social-demographic, criminal and penal characteristics were collected by the means of a questionnaire custom made for the purpose of this research. Freedom deprivation scale reliability was determined to be on a very high level (Cronbach's α=0,92). The results of the research indicate the existence of statistically significant difference between the convicts who were engaged in work in the course of their prison sentence and those who were not in the means of the Freedom deprivation scale score.

Cilj rada je utvrđivanje uticaja radnog angažovanja osuđenih tokom inkarceracije na intenzitet deprivacije slobode. Istraživanje je realizovano u Kazneno-popravnom zavodu Sremska Mitrovica. Uzorak je činilo 113 osuđenih, koji su dobrovoljno pristali da učestvuju u istraživanju. Podaci o deprivaciji slobode su dobijeni primenom Skale deprivacije slobode, dok su socio-demogafske, kriminološke i penološke karakteristike prikupljane upitnikom, koji je konstruisan za namene ovog istraživanja. Relijabilnost Skale deprivacije slobode se pokazala na izuzetno visokom nivou (Cronbach's α=0,92). Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da postoji statistički značajna razlika između osuđenih koji su radno angažovani tokom izvršenja zatvorske kazne i osuđenih koji nisu radno angažovani tokom izvršenja zatvorske kazne u odnosu na skor na Skali deprivacije slobode.
