J-CAP Next

J-CAP Next is a transformative initiative designed to enhance judicial cooperation
across EU Member States by addressing challenges in implementing probation
measures and alternative sanctions. Building on the European Probation and the J-CAP
project, J-CAP Next aims to develop a fully upgraded, augmented and practitioner
oriented European Probation Software. The EPS 3.0 will contribute to more knowledge
of EU Member States legal frameworks, in order to streamline cross-border judicial
processes, and foster mutual trust among jurisdictions.

The project directly addresses the gaps identified in the application of Framework
Decision 2008/947, which highlights the need for alignment in legal frameworks and
practices to support effective cross-border probation management. By creating a
accessible digital solution, and promoting awareness among judicial practitioners, J
CAP Next seeks to overcome barriers such as lack of knowledge of EU Members
States’ judicial systems.

Ultimately, the initiative aims to improve the rehabilitation prospects of foreign probationers and ensure a more efficient and unified approach to probation and alternative sanctions throughout the EU, contributing to a resilient and collaborative judicial infrastructure.
