摘要:

Abstract:This paper presents the findings of a recently completed evaluation of two Neighbourhood Watch schemes in London. The main research method was based on crime and public attitude surveys of the two Neighbourhood Watch areas before the schemes were implemented and again one year after their implementation. Similar surveys were conducted in a displacement and a control area as a comparison. The results showed that crime increased slightly in the scheme areas and remained constant or fell in the displacement and control areas. More favourable results were shown in changes in public attitudes and behaviour. The paper concludes that the lack of a more substantial success was most likely due to implementation failure and the weak design of Neighbourhood Watch in the Metropolitan Police District (MPD).

摘要:

Abstract:This article examines the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and its implications for Local Authority social workers and the roles they are now asked to take on. In particular the article focusses on the police detention and questioning of ‘vulnerable’ suspects like juveniles and mentally disordered people and the role of the social worker as ‘appropriate adult’. The importance of the social work role in this part of the criminal justice system is emphasised, together with a survey of the available literature to inform it and the difficulties experienced in p

摘要:

Abstract:There have been two important recent developments affecting the prison disciplinary system. First, the courts have intervened by way of judicial review in the matter of legal representation at adjudications and secondly, the Prior Committee has presented a much praised blueprint for a complete overhaul of the prison disciplinary system. Unfortunately, the intervention of the courts has made little impact in practice and the Prior Committee recommendations seem destined to be relegated to the limbo of lost causes. Which leaves prison disciplinary hearings subject to much the same criticisms as they have always been (see for example Justice 1983).

摘要:

Abstract:This article examines some of the reasons why Japan enjoys one of the most crime‐free industrial societies in the world with a high concern for social justice. It begins by examining traditional values in Japanese history, particularly the importance of family and groupmembership. It shows the implications of these values for crime, justice, and the Japanese legal system. Then it discusses five post‐war mechanisms contributing to Japan's continued social harmony and growing efforts towards social justice: writing groups, debating societies, neighbourhood newspapers, individual instruction in traditional arts, andgasshukus.It is suggested that other societies may benefit by the adoption or adaptation of some of Japan's values and techniq
