The community has an active role in the success of community sanctions, being called to participate in their implementation by assuming responsibility and by its constructive potential in terms of "healing" the harm created by committing a crime. Thus, the community contributes to the recovery of damages and, directly, to avoiding the long-term consequences that custodial measures have on the mental and physical health of criminals. The participation of the community in the administration of the justice act has a number of pros and cons, being a current topic and of maximum interest. It is precisely in this sense that the studies in this volume were "pencilled".
Thus, it can be seen that the effectiveness of the interventions depends on the professionalism of the specialists in the field, and the new orientation, community and restorative, acquires new values compared to traditional justice.

The essence of the criminal law is to address the human conduct disapproved by the community, to establish that action that is required to restore the legal order. It is the moral outrage of the community that is invoked by the criminal law, as a fundamental support, and not the personal outrage of a citizen. Although not all members of a community can feel or express this form of outrage, what differentiates criminal law from civil law is precisely the fact that the morality violated by the crime is social, and the community is a whole that cannot ignore the conduct.
Probation has intervention strategies in all stages of the criminal justice process. Thus, there is proof:
- Presentential – psychosocial evaluation of the personality of the suspect, the accused, the defendant;
- Essential: in the community - activities aimed at the social reintegration of persons released from criminal punishment through assistance, counseling, behavior control and supervision of compliance with the obligations imposed by the court and penitentiary - socio-educational activities carried out in the penitentiary and preparation activities for release from places of detention;
- Post-penitentiary assistance to persons released from places of detention for the purpose of their reintegration into society.
The diversity of probation activities serve a double purpose: public safety/protection of the community from recidivism, through prevention, continuous monitoring of the offender's behavior and his social reintegration. In terms of services, probation encompasses activities aimed at increasing the fairness and efficiency of the criminal justice system and increasing the importance of the concept of individualization of criminal punishment.
Probation propagates the idea of a moderate tendency to treat delinquency. Probation also appears as an important step in the context of connecting national legislation to international standards, with the aim of creating an intermediate zone in the punishment system, a reevaluation of the repressive concept towards a curative one. The advantages of such a social reaction are obvious: not all types of crimes are so serious as to require expensive detentions; those released on probation can obtain or maintain service and pay taxes/duties; criminals can take care of their own families and fulfill their other financial obligations without becoming a burden to the state, etc.
