Summary/Abstract: In this paper we will deal with an alternative to criminal sanctions in criminal law enforcement of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with special emphasis on the current situation and assessment of options for the introduction of proffesional probation service in BH. The stated is more important if one considers the fact that both entities of BH have shown interest in introducing a probation service, which will oversee alternative sanctions imposed by the court in criminal proceedings. In the samesence, we will display some of the solutions which came to the fore in the neighbour states. In the work we started from the assumption that this analysis could provide the basis for assessment whether out of institutions treatments in BH could help in solving key problems of our criminal justice system, regarding to overpopulation of our criminal institutions and high rates of recidivism.
