Abstract:The spread of HIV among the prison community is the subject of considerable concern among pressure groups and prison authorities alike. This article examines the approach taken to the care of HIV positive prisoners in England in the light of arguments about prisoners' rights. Four areas are examined in detail; testing for HIV infection; confidentiality of information concerning HIV positive prisoners; the contrast in care facilities provided to those with HIV inside and outside prison; the involvement of HIV positive prisoners in experimental drug trials. The article concludes by examining the role of a rights based analysis when determining policies of care for these prisoners.

摘要:

Abstract:This paper considers the involvement of the probation service in crime prevention in the light of research which suggested that probation officers find it difficult to make practical sense of the idea of a ‘community’ orientation. The traditional client focus of the service, its concern with the social dimensions of crime, and the effect of gender relations on inter‐agency working all tend to inhibit officers from becoming wholeheartedly involved in this area of work. It is argued, however, that recent changes in thinking about crime prevention may increase the opportunities for the service to participate, and that it is possible to identify ways in which its contribution might be a distinctive and useful one, though the extent to which the Home Office will encourage greater involvement is not clear. The paper concludes with suggestions on how inter‐agency co‐operation might be managed more effectively, on evaluation, and on the relevance of some recent work in cr

摘要:

Abstract:Probation committees are the statutory employers of all probation staff and have a responsiblity for the efficient running of area probation services. In this article the role of probation committees is investigated through detailed interviews with probation committee members and chief probation officers. It is argued that while the Home Office and probation professional associations have attempted to develop within probation areas notions of systematic management, which include the initiation, development and implementation of policy, the role of probation committee members has been neglected. The assumptions magistrate members of committees bring to their consideration of policy are of particular importance. The implication of these assumptions for race issues and crime prevention policies is analysed.

摘要:

Abstract:This article examines the new enthusiasm among some criminologists, sections of the probation service and junior ministers in the Home Office for the rehabilitation of ‘heavy end’ offenders through programmes of community ‘treatment’ based on a ‘justice model’. It contends that the ‘Nothing Works' doctrine which emerged in criminology and penal politics in the mid‐1970s has been supplanted by a ‘Something Works' doctrine, the function of which is to give legitimacy to the government's attempts to rationalise expenditure on criminal justice. It argues that this has required the probation service to adopt a mode of intervention with offenders which is no more effective than the discredited methods it has replaced and less responsive to the problems of addiction, mental ‘illness' and poverty experienced by the majority of the clients dealt
