Abstract. The magistrates of surveillance activity is characterized by judicial and jurisdictional procedures which display high degrees of discretionary evaluation of all the elements involved. Therefore, if a high level of discretion is one of the main features that distinguish “re-educational jurisdiction” from other jurisdictional practices, such peculiarity suggests to outline the major critical issues regarding the principle of legality and the predictability of magistrates’ decisions, in the light of the priciples established by the ECHR and the Constitutional Court, that progressively attract the penitentiary system into the “ criminal matters”.
This article was submitted for evaluation by two expert reviewers, with a positive outcome.
