摘要:

Abstract:This paper considers what legal and practice arrangements exist in England and Wales to monitor sex offenders following release from prison and comments on the limitations and implications of such ‘tracking’ in the community. Recent developments in the USA are also reviewed. The authors argue that ‘tracking’ should be seen in the wider context of the political economy of risk, which emphasises both the proactive ‘management’ of knowledge about offenders and the production of compensato

摘要:

Abstract:This paper offers an evaluation of a youth diversion project which ran during the 1994 Easter vacation for young people on one of Edinburgh's partly run‐down model housing estates. Through reference to detailed field observation, it offers an overview of the process of multi‐agency co‐ordination. The evaluation is made by reference to competing professional discourses employed by the representatives of the various involved agencies. The emergence of a ‘hybrid discourse’, a shared vocabulary, is postulated and tested for. The authors conclude that, within the context of this particular programme, the linguistic practices of various different professionals did not constitute an insurmountable barrier to co

摘要:

Abstract:This paper reports on an exploratory study which has investigated the potential which offenders may have for entrepreneurial activities. The research found that prisoners appear to be more entrepreneurial than other occupational groups, although probationers are not. The study suggests that a high proportion of both groups of offenders had worked in their own businesses in the past, and as such may benefit from specialist small business training or support which can address their particular needs. Prisons in general offer training, but probation services do not, and there appears to be little co‐ordination of this training between agencie

摘要:

Abstract:This article attempts to deal with the problems related to the presence of ethniccultural minority groups within a predominantly white Dutch society. Even though rightextremism has not as yet reached the level of support it has in some other countries, in the Netherlands there seems to be a growing tendency towards discrimination and racism. In this respect it seems of great importance to try and find ways to turn these developments round. Two ways are discussed here which might contribute to a more positive development. On the one hand it is argued that more room for different kind of cultures, also within the legal culture, could result in a better understanding and acceptance of different cultural groups within society. On the other hand the question is posed whether or not a political party that does not show any respect for important material features of democracy (including minority rights) and intentionally tries to disturb the public order and aims at destroying democracy itself, should ultimately be banned from the political platform.

摘要:

Abstract:Private for‐profit prison corporations are expanding in Australia faster than in any other country. These corporations are based in the USA and form part of the correctionscommercial complex. It is the contention of this paper, from observations in NSW, Australia, that the nature of these newly internationalised private prison corporations is neo‐colonialist, both economically and culturally. It can be compared with the expansion of the nuclear power industry by transnational US corporations in the 1960s and 1970s and other transnationals more recently. Using this perspective, the appropriateness of transnational private for‐profit prison corporations running prisons in Australia is severely quest
