摘要:

AbstractRequiring offenders to restore victim losses through money payment, or occasionally through service, has been increasingly practised in the United States; this practice, referred to as restitution, has been implemented both through special penal projects and by incorporating restitution requirements into pretrial diversion or probation requirements. Renewed interest in restitution has occurred because of dissatisfaction with prevailing treatment approaches for offenders, a need for intermediate punishments which are more severe than probation but not as severe as imprisonment, the need for increasing public support of criminal justice programmes, and a renewed interest in crime victims. Restitution provides a useful mechanism for integrating crime victims into the criminal justice system but may require reorientation of probation work towards conflict resolution and peacemaking between victims and offenders.

摘要:

AbstractThis paper has as its starting point the unease with which researchers and some members of the social work profession now view current trends in Intermediate Treatment (I.T.) In this paper, which is intended to be an introduction to a more detailed analysis, I attempt to explain these issues by drawing together the historical development of I.T. and showing the connection between these changes that have taken place in penal policy and changes that have occurred in the wider social structure. It is argued that this raises serious questions in respect of the assumptions made by the social work profession about I.T., in particular that the continuous justification in terms of and preoccupation with“individual need” obscures the fact that I.T. has become the vehicle for an increasingly wider and more intensive regulation of the lives of young peo

摘要:

AbstractLittle attention has been paid to the implementation of crime control measures, yet implementation failure may curtail the effectiveness of measures as much as failure to influence the activities of offenders. This paper reports the experience of a Home Office crime prevention demonstration project where implementation proved difficult. It seeks to explain these difficulties in terms of the literature on policy implementation and has a number of suggestions for more successful crime prevention implementation.

摘要:

AbstractIn recent years a category of offender has been described and identified by Home Office research workers and penal reform groups as one which should be kept out of prison wherever possible. In this paper, the author reviews the work which indicates how many offenders fall within this group, and summarises those characteristics they have in common. He then traces the interacting patterns of multiple disadvantage from which so many offenders in this category find it difficult to escape, before drawing some conclusions about the implications of this analysis for penal policy and sentencing practice.

摘要:

AbstractIt has long been recognised that crime prevention is an integral part of police work and one which requires public support. Nevertheless, in recent years the police have tended to emphasise a deterrent approach to crime control, a development which has pushed crime prevention into a backwater. If crime prevention is to develop, and there are sound reasons why it should, it must be crime specific in its approach and draw on the resources of the whole community. There are obstacles to be overcome; principally that for many the cost of living with crime is seen to be less than the cost of preventing it.
