摘要:

Abstract:Increasing emphasis is being placed both on achieving a better Jit between sentencing policy and public opinion and on meeting the needs and wishes of victims of crime. There has, however, been a dearth of factual information about the views both of the general public and of victims on punishment. This paper presents findings from the 1982 and 1984 sweeps of the British Crime Survey. The British Crime Survey suggests that neither public opinion nor victims' views are more punitive than current practice, and that people favour sentences involving compensation by offenders either to the victim or to the community. The paper also examines what factors make for punitive attitudes.

摘要:

Abstract:The police prosecute most detected offences, and caution very few. Agencies which enforce safety, pollution, fraud, and tax laws prosecute very rarely; other enforcement methods are used which are comparable with police cautions. Consequently, working class crime is prosecuted frequently while middle class crime is not. This article compares prosecution practices in the police and the Factory Inspectorate by drawing on recent E.S.R.C.‐financed research on police prosecutions. It concludes by evaluating various justifications and explanations for those differences. Class bias is not deliberate. Rather, it is a product of considerations that are inevitably influential in a capitalist societ

摘要:

Abstract:Evidence which suggests that victims of crime and criminal offenders can benefit from being brought together is briefly reviewed before two models of such encounters are compared. These are the VORP model, which involves the victim meeting his/her offender to discuss terms of reparation and the Rochester model where victims and unassociated offenders meet as a group. It is concluded that the Rochester model is more effective in providing victims and offenders with a learning experience through which their prejudices and stereotypes can be dynamically challenged.

摘要:

Abstract:This paper has as its focus a largely neglected, but growing area of juvenile justice: the structure and practice of a pre‐court tribunal. Although the ostensible purpose of the body that is the subject of this analysis is to exercise a discretion as to whether or not families should be taken to court because of a child's non‐attendance at school, we argue here that its underlying purpose can be interpreted as upholding and ensuring commitment to a normative view of the world which may bear little relation to the world as it really is for those appearing before the tribunal. The process by which this task is achieved is documented and is followed by a discussion of the issues that this raises for the administration of justice in this a
