Police supervision

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Police supervision or police monitoring is a form of additional punishment and crime prevention. The regulations vary for various countries. A common feature was restriction and control of the place of residence of the supervised person. In certain situations a released convict was placed under police supervision. In some countries "unreliable persons" (usually in political sense) could be placed under police supervision.[1]

In 1871 regulations for police supervision were summarized in an internal report of Russian Chief Prosecutor deputy Николай Дмитриевич Рычков for Russian Empire, France, Belgium, Prussia, Bavaria, and German Empire.[1]
