Community sentencing in Albania - Building partnerships with law enforcement authorities

The European Commission financed project "Network of Community Services for Alternative Sentence" aims to support the Albanian Probation Service Office for the implementation of alternative sanctions against drug offenders, including through community-based treatment programmes. The project also seeks to promote and enhance constructive partnerships between the Probation Service Office and the community.

In the framework of this project, a meeting was held on 27th July 2010 between representatives of the Probation Service Office and partnerhip organisations of the project (Aksion Plus, Refraction Association, and Shelter for Abused Women).

This meeting presented the objectives and activities of the project, its benefits and how it could be further improved. Please download the report below for more information.
