摘要:

Abstract:The Criminal Justice Act 1967, which introduced parole into this country for those sentenced to determinate sentences, did not establish parole for those sentenced to imprisonment for life, but inserted the Parole Board into the chain of advice which the Home Secretary had to take before releasing a lifer. A number of recent cases have brought the discrepancies between the way different categories of life prisoners are treated to the attention of the courts, yet the Criminal Justice Act 1991, the most radical review of the parole system since 1967, fails to deal adequately with the release of those serving life sentences. This article, whilst avoiding the wider argument for the abolition of indeterminate sentences, suggests that even within the current sentencing structure, parole for lifers could be made significantly fairer. In particular, the same procedures should be followed for those serving mandatory (for murder) and discretionary life sentences.

摘要:

Abstract:This article explores the implementation of the Young Offenders Act in the most populous of Canada's ten provinces, Ontario. It argues that the original principles and programmes upon which the Act was based were not followed when the legislation was introduced. Research has demonstrated that rather than adopting alternative measures approaches which emphasise the special needs of delinquents, the approach is increasingly one of imprisonment. Increasing levels of investment in the carceral response has meant that community programming has not been implemented in any meaningful way. The Community Options Programme is described as a direction for future treatment of youth under the law. It is suggested that collaboration between social control agencies to co‐ordinate approaches is long overdue. The economies of community based responses on both the economic and human level are suggeste

摘要:

Abstract:Empirical research shows that many prisoners in Germany take their governors to court. But only very few of these prisoners succeed in getting what they want. While such court interventions help to clarify important points of law, they are not very helpful for prisoners in their day‐to‐day conflicts with the prison administration. Here, some sort of ombudsperson is still high on dem

摘要:

Abstract:Post‐war Dutch penitentiary policy has been characterised by the principle of rehabilitation. In the 1980s, the optimism of reaching this ideal by ‘improving’ prison conditions has been tuned down. Sanctions which are executed ‘closer to the community’, as it is currently called, are now considered to have a greater rehabilitative potential. Many of these so‐called ‘alternative sanctions’ currently function in a model of diversion from the penal system in early phases of the penal process. Recent white papers indicate, however, a tendency to develop such ‘alternatives’ further by transforming them into principal modes of punishment ‐ that is, codifying them and having them imposed by a judge. The basis of this article is, that this move from diversion back to punishment might well diminish intended rehabilitative effects, because in this way the negative (side‐) effects of a fully penal execution are taken aboard. Eight guiding principles are outlined to safeguard the status of alternative sanctions as a possible
