Abstract:There are many examples of relationships between police officers and social workers being hindered by suspicion and hostility. The problem is often located at street and fieldworker levels where divergent operational philosophies, practices, and goals create misunderstandings and perpetuate stereotyped attitudes. However, in Madison, U.S.A., there is a crisis intervention scheme looking after the mentally disturbed, and diverting them from the criminal justice system, that owes much of its success to close co‐operation between the police and the scheme's social workers. Essentially, that co‐operation was achieved by identifying the police role as case‐finders and by responding to the operational needs of patrol off

摘要:

Abstract:This article reports the results of an empirical study designed to determine what features of the immediate environment are important to juvenile house burglars in their selection of targets. The study involved two main subject groups: (i) convicted juvenile burglars; and (ii) adult householders. Subjects were presented with photographs of houses and asked whether or not they would choose them as a burglary target on the basis of the information available. These photographs were identical for each subject apart from a controlled factor. Data also were gathered from participants via a checklist procedure, a short interview and a surprise recognition test. The findings indicated that young burglars largely concurred as to the factors which influenced their decision when choosing a target. However, their choice of factors differed in several important respects from those which householders believed to be important to such offenders. The implications of this work for environmental crime prevention strategies are discussed.

摘要:

Abstract:This paper describes interviews conducted with a sample of 50 convicted residential burglars imprisoned in the Republic of Ireland. The interviews were structured to establish the nature of their criminal career, the characteristics of the burglaries they Committed, their occupational style and their general lifestyle. The results of the interviews are presented in terms of the decision to offend, occupational style and target selection and sentencing as a deterrent. The results confirm the importance of environmental cues in the selection of property to burgle, but attention is drawn to the probable role of multiple cues and cue salience. A behavioural interpretation of these results is proposed.

摘要:

Abstract:This paper considers the position of female offenders in relation to the work of the probation service. Using both primary and secondary data sources it investigates disparities between females and males in the use of probation‐administered disposals, and suggests the social inquiry report to be a key factor in these. Possible reasons for differential treatment of females by the probation service, and other issues relating to this are also discusse

摘要:

Abstract:‘Reparation’ from offender to victim may take a variety of forms and can be promoted either as an alternative to or in conjunction with the operation of our criminal courts. Several Home Office sponsored experiments have been run. The authors, who hove been monitoring these and other initiatives, conclude that the scope for making amends ‐ and for viewing criminal justice in reparative terms ‐ is undermined through the current preoccupation with diverting the offender from prosecution, or mitigating the court's
