The job of a probation officer is considered to be demanding, exhausting and important for maintaining community security and reducing the rate of recidivism. It has been proven that probation with timely interventions, with the right intensity and personal touch, can be of great help to convict, so we need resilient experts who will, despite demands and challenges, be able and willing to help the convicts to make a change in their lives. The core gole of this graduate thesis is to analyze current researches about the resilience of probation around the world and analyze the resilience of Croatian probation officers. In May and June 2018, an online survey was conducted involving 63 staff of probation offices. The goals of the research were to establish differences in resistance between men and women, the relationship between resistance and age, and the link between resistance and life satisfaction, job satisfaction, selfefficacy, work stress and support of colleagues. The results of the research have shown that there are no differences in the resilience of probation officers for age and gender and that the highest correlation is observed in resilience and satisfaction with the sense of security, selfefficacy, satisfaction with health and belonging to the community, while with other variables studied (total satisfaction with life, satisfaction with standard of living, satisfaction with achievement in life, satisfaction with relationships with their close ones, satisfaction with the feeling of future security, work stress, support of colleagues, job satisfaction) no statistically significant difference was identified.
