Torture and ill-treatment of children in Ukrainefreedom of movement, to freedom of expression, to free choice oftraining locations, property and so on.All this suggests that the work towards the recognition and acceptanceof the child as a full-fledged member of society and its protection has juststarted.184• New CPCWe believe that it would be right to follow the same provisions in the regulationof specialization of persons having official relations with children in thecontext of juvenile justice. In particular, there should be the uniform requirementfor all officers and employees, who work with minor delinquents, whichwould determine the mandatory presence of certain skills (maybe even extraeducation) and experience of work with children. Based on the experienceof other countries, where such institutions are currently operating, one couldargue that it will contribute to improve treatment of the child and amend proceduresfor their prosecution.• On reforming the juvenile justice systemCreating of the authorized individual unit for crime prevention amongchildren in the structure of MIA of Ukraine is generally in line with internationalregulations concerning the protection of children’s rights. However, theamendments proposed by the MIA of Ukraine to the Law of Ukraine “On agenciesand services for children and special facilities for children” concerning anew militia unit to work with children, who have committed offenses, containalmost no specific preventive measures or methods of prevention and andare not forward-looking compared with the existing legal provisions. In fact,there remains the approach of the former redaction of the Law specifying thatprevention is aimed at identifying the causes and conditions that contributeto committing administrative and criminal offenses by children.The centers of interim detention of children proposed by the Ministry ofInternal Affairs of Ukraine will actually be created as new places of imprisonment.It seems inconsistent to bring centers of interim detention of childrenunder the MIA of Ukraine, which is contrary to current doctrine of the PenitentiaryService of Ukraine and norms of the international law by which all placesof non-liberty must be subordinated to the Ministry of Justice. In addition,based on the principle of presumption of innocence, the facilities for interim
Section 7Summarydetention of children should not be closed institutions. Also the expediencyof joint custody in these centers of children suspected of having committeda criminal offense, and children held there for other reasons seems doubtful.Also, according to the text of propositions of the MIA of Ukraine, it clearly followsthat the status of these centers as punitive institutions makes no provisionsfor proper educational work.7.2. Component ІІ• Manpower Development for the State Penitentiary ServiceSummarizing the study of problems concerning the personnel of the StatePenitentiary Service, one can bring out the following objects of attention:— professionals, who work with children, do not always have specialtraining and special professional training to work with children;— The list of occupations of the Classifier of Professions DC 003:201corresponding with the positions of the State Penitentiary Serviceof Ukraine includes no jobs corresponding to the educational specialty"Social assistance" (social workers) and officials to work withminors;— short-staffed (10% of staff), high fluctuation of personnel (16–17%);— staff suffers from high levels of occupational strain and burnout;— part of the teaching staff has no practical experience of work in schoolsof Penitentiary Service. The workers of Penitentiary Service of Ukrainethat have long experience working in institutions of Penitentiary Servicecomplain about "speculative nature" of training of specialists andthe fact that a number of teachers "saw zone only in movies."• Manpower Development for the Ministry of Internal AffairsThe survey of personnel of the agencies of MIA has brought to light thefollowing problems:— Certain positions of staff schedule of agencies and units of the Ministryof Internal Affairs of Ukraine suppoesed to work with minors are absentin the list of occupations of the Classifier of professions DC 003:201;— professionals, who work with children, have no special educationalqualifications to work with children.185
