Abstract:This article considers the medical examination of women who report rape to the police. Fourteen women who reported rape to the Sussex police between 1991 and 1993 were interviewed in depth about their experience of the medical examination. Eighty‐six per cent of them were wholly, mainly or partly negative about it whilst 36% were wholly or partly positive. The article considers those factors perceived as positive and those perceived as negative. It offers some suggestions as to how medical services for victims of rape might be improve

摘要:

Abstract:Little attention has been paid to the transferability of ‘successful’ crime prevention projects. The Kirkholt Burglary Prevention Project has been hailed by academics (Forrester et al. 1988, 1990; Bottoms 1990) and policy‐makers (Burns 1990; Home Office 1990) as one of the most successful crime prevention projects undertaken in the UK. In this paper we report on an ethnographic research case study of a crime prevention project which sought to transfer the mechanisms – both processual and those aimed at desired preventative outcomes – used in the Kirkholt Project to a different location. In doing so we develop a critique of dominant understandings of what constitutes ‘success’, ‘multi‐agency co‐operation’ and ‘evaluation’ in the

摘要:

Abstract:This analysis is concerned with juvenile/adult ratios of males and females at different stages of the criminal justice system, that is, apprehension, prosecution, conviction and imprisonment for the year 1975 and suspicion, prosecution, conviction, admission to prison and prison population in 1980 and 1986. Data from the Second and Third United Nations Crime Surveys, which covered about 90 countries, are employed. To counteract national age and gender population differences, in addition to raw ones, weighted ratios are examined. The study addresses three questions: (i) Is there any national distinctiveness in filtering out juveniles at different stages of the criminal justice system? (ii) Does a worldwide tendency exist in filtering out juveniles? and (iii) Is the gender of juveniles an influencing factor of the general practice for filtering out and, if so, at which particular stages of the system? A non‐parametric statistical method, the sign test, is used to check upon the validity of the result

摘要:

Abstract:This article examines the opportunities and obstacles facing the possible extension of legal and social rights for users of probation services. It is argued that the notion of users' rights in the community punishment context promotes a view of users as citizens with responsibilities rather than feckless offenders. It is further argued that extended user rights should act as a check against forms of new managerialism which now permeate the probation service, providing a means whereby users of the probation service could be treated more openly and equitably. The article concludes with some preliminary proposals for a service users' charter, making reference to the victims' and prisoners' rights movement.
