Executive summary National framework concerning deprivation of liberty To determine, whether a person can be held criminally responsible, the judge may order a psychiatric examination. If it is found that the defendant is lacking criminal legal capacity, proceedings for the application of security measures may be carried out. This may result in imposing of the security measure of compulsory psychiatric treatment and confinement in a medical institution. Currently there is only one such facility in Slovenia, where this measure can be carried out - Forensic Psychiatry Unit of the University Clinical Centre Maribor. No specific measures or accommodations in the criminal proceedings are available when it comes to deprivation of liberty of criminally responsible defendants with psychosocial and/or intellectual disabilities. There are no specific measures stemming from their vulnerability - they will be tried and may be subjected to detention and imprisonment under the rules prescribed by the law for all defendants and detainees. In Slovenia, in criminal law, there are no measures that could be considered as preventive detention. National framework concerning alternatives and probation Alternative sanctions and probation measures are prescribed by the Criminal Code. Probation services are relatively new in Slovenia. The legal basis for its functioning Probation Act, was adopted in 2017. The Probation Agency was established in 2018. National policy framework concerning deprivation of liberty The Resolution on the National Mental Health Programme 2018−2028 is addressing the “Rehabilitation of people with recurrent mental disorders”. One of the specific objectives of the Resolution is to establish integrated and effective treatment for people with mental health problems and dangerous behaviour, offering continuous, safe and effective care. v
