What does probation mean?

Probation, the full name of probation, also known as suspended sentence, refers to the criminal who violates the criminal law and is confirmed to have constituted a crime through legal procedures, and should be punished by punishment, first declaring him guilty and temporarily not executing the sentenced punishment. Probation is a system in which a specific investigation organ inspects criminals during a certain trial period and decides whether to apply a specific penalty according to their performance during the trial period.

A criminal who has been declared suspended shall, within the probation period, accept community correction according to law. If there are no circumstances stipulated in Article 77 of the Criminal Law, the probation period of probation expires, and the original sentence will no longer be executed and will be publicly announced.

Simply put, the court gives the person sentenced to probation a certain period of investigation. In the meantime, if there are no mistakes, they don't have to serve their sentences in prison. If they make a mistake, according to the court's decision, they must go to jail.
