Abstract:Offenders are by their nature potentially greater risk‐takers than the general population, as are entrepreneurs. For this and reasons such as difficulty in finding employment, many offenders are likely to work in their own businesses. The provision of training in running a small business or self‐employment can improve the chances of success. Offenders, as a group of people with special needs, may benefit from the provision of this type of training.This paper describes the initial results of a study which examined the potential of offenders for running small business and the current provision of small business training in prisons and probation services in the

摘要:

Abstract:The Base Expectancy Score, developed in the early 196Os, continued a tradition of practical behauioural prediction pioneered by Burgess, the Gluecks, Mannheim and Wilkins, and others. We provide a brief historical ouerview of this tradition and of the development of the BE scale, and examine its predictive validity over more than a 25 year period and over a variety of outcome criteria of recent interest to the ‘criminal career’ research paradigm. The scale is found to be remarkably robust over the period and criteria conside

摘要:

Abstract:The Criminal Justice Act 1991 threatens to create a climate and a set of procedures which will result in an increased rate of breach in probation orders. The author considers the justajkations for such a new approach and concludes that they are likely to result in counterproductive practice which has little to offer the courts, the service or its clients. He concludes by offering some practical suggestionr through which the dangers of the new breach‐enthusiasm might be avoided and a more productive minimalist approach in this area reafirme

摘要:

Abstract:More weight is now being given in many criminal justice systems to the needs and wishes of victims. Few jurisdictions, however, have gone as far as the recently introduced system of’ youth justice in New Zealand. There, a meeting is arranged between the victim (or their representatives), the young person who committed the offence, his or her family and a police officer to decide the appropriate response to the offending. The arguments behind this were that it would increase victims' satiSfaction, enhance the prospects of reconciliation and provide a more effective means of restitution and reparation. In this article, we examine the extent to which these objectives have been me

摘要:

Abstract:A tem of imprisonment affects not only the person remanded or sentenced. The inmate's family and dependants are all too often the ones who suffer most. After decades of neglect the last five years have seen the generation of substantial interest in the wellbeing of prisoners' families. Positive reforms have resulted, but much remains to be done.
