The report presents the structure of the system of institutions for preventive, corrective-educational and resocialising activities in

the Republic of Bulgaria. Three subsystems are distinguished: social, socio-pedagogical, and penitentiary. Each of them includes

different institutions of boarding and non-boarding type in a complex relation of subordination and coordination, subject to specific

regulations. The activity of the institutions in the system of preventive, corrective-educational and resocialising activities is

characterised by a number of specific features in social, organisational, managerial, educational and methodological aspects, which

are presented as working recommendations in accordance with the current socio-pedagogical conditions. A good knowledge of the

system is extremely important for all specialists who work in the social, educational and judicial areas. For effective work in it, interinstitutional

interaction is decisive, both within the system itself and outside it, with external factors in relation to the problems of the

person with antisocial and illegal behaviour.
