摘要:

Abstract:This paper considers the position of and justifications for the English probation system in the modern period in which penal policy has come to be dominated by a pragmatism which is both philosophical and practical in its penetration. It plots the effects on the service of the demise of confidence in the diagnostic ideal and the subsequent dominance of policy considerations, and it identifies three schools of thought in the probation service which have emerged in recent times.

摘要:

Abstract:This article describes a research project undertaken in 1984 for the Departmental Committee on the Prison System (the Prior Committee). The aim of the research was to investigate how the prison disciplinary system was perceived by its various protagonists – inmates, officers, governors and members of Boards of Visitors; in particular, whether they perceived it to be a fair system for dealing with disciplinary offences, their views on how serious disciplinary offences should be dealt with, the role of informal measures for maintaining discipline, and the adequacy of existing punishments. The study found common agreement that the fairness of the system depended greatly on the extent to which it allowed the offender to present his side of the case, but views diverged as to how much this was achieved in practice. It concludes that lack of adequate facilities and privileges in prisons has resulted in the disciplinary system being too reliant on the use of forfeiture of remission as a punishment, and that any approach to the problem of control which is simply based on the removal of existing privileges cannot be regarded as realisti

摘要:

Abstract:The problem of how to manage those prisoners who refuse to conform to standard prison rules and regulations has received considerable attention recently, particularly in Britain and in North America. This article describes some of the strategies adopted in Canada and the United States and contrasts them with developments in Scotland. It concludes that there should be a prior statement of the objective of any alternative unit for this type of prisoner, that its regime should be clearly defined, that a clear definition of what constitutes a difficult or dangerous prisoner should be agreed and that the wider implications of managing this type of prisoner should be publicly appreciated.

摘要:

Abstract:This paper draws on data from a recent study of encounters between uniformed police officers and members of the public, designed to throw more light on the nature of behaviour in such encounters, and to provide material for the development of police training in human skills. It examines how participants behave towards each other and whether this reflects the behaviour of the other party, the nature of the encounter and the role of the citizen involved. The great majority of contacts are shown to be routine and mundane affairs, with dissatisfaction, rudeness or conflict being quite rare. A variety of issues is raised bearing upon policy, training and future research.
