摘要:

AbstractThis paper contrasts the official policy underlying attendance centres with the practice of one such centre. Two issues in particular are discussed: the objectives of the centre (noting particularly the views of the staff and the boys) and the apparent place of attendance centres in the tariff. Certain divergences are highlighted and their implications discussed in the light of the recent Criminal Justice Act.

摘要:

AbstractThis essay explores the efforts of the Police Court Mission in the courts of summary jurisdiction. For 60 years, in an age which accorded ever‐increasing importance to the methods of science, the missionaries held firmly to a religious philosophy, distinctively their own. This paper attempts to explain how it was possible for the missionaries to be absorbed into the probation system, and for their religious ideals to yield, eventually, to the radically different philosophy of the aspiring, “scientific” social work diagnosti

摘要:

AbstractThis paper discusses contemporary developments in penal policy and practice in the light of Professor Stanley Cohen's “Punitive City” concept. It is shown that there is little evidence of a “transformation” in either ideology or practice away from custodial modes of control. Short custodial sentences have much support and, as Cohen suggested, supposed “alternatives” often do not displace custody. For the foreseeable future it is likely that non‐custodial controls will be relatively cost‐effective, rather simple and overtly punitive or reparative in aim: it is highly improbable that they will as Professor Cohen suggests, be oriented towards a “social‐work ration

摘要:

AbstractResearch studies and surveys which involve asking people what offences they have committed have many methodological problems. An examination of these problems shows that it is very doubtful whether valid conclusions can be drawn, either about the number of offences of different types which have been committed or about the characteristics of offenders. Besides this, there are ethical problems involved in persuading people to answer questions regarding their criminal behaviour. The contribution made by self‐reported crime studies to scientific research or to improving the accuracy of published criminal statistics is not sufficient to warrant their being continue
