Abstract:
Doctor-coordinators are nominated by the judge for the enforcement of sentences as soon as socio-judicial supervision with court-ordered therapy is to be implemented. Their mission is to facilitate the contact between offenders and the general practitioner likely to be working with them on the therapeutic level. The experience of the doctor-coordinator in Bordeaux sheds light on the conditions in which this function is performed. Identifying elements which may be considered as indicators of the risk of reoffending is, in daily practice, a constant concern for this specialist.
