摘要:

AbstractThe arguments and policy implications of two recent books on the juvenile justice system are strongly criticised. It is suggested that the attacks on the philosophy and the practice of the Children and Young Persons Act 1969 are unjustified. The “Justice” model proposed seems to be the result of a return to a doctrine of classical liberalism. If applied it would remove many of the legal rights of parents and teachers, and would inevitably lead to a retributive and punitive system which would be in nobody's best intere

摘要:

AbstractOver 3,000 men are imprisoned each year for maintenance default. At any one time there are on average about 300 men in prison for this reason. It costs the State over one and a quarter million pounds a year to keep these men in prison. Yet, despite concern with overcrowding, no initiative is being taken to remove the sanction of imprisonment. This article surveys available evidence on who is imprisoned and argues the case for abolition. In particular the inappropriateness of using criminal sanctions to enforce family obligations is stressed. The case for imprisonment is usually grounded in deterrence. This argument is considered critically.

摘要:

AbstractThe efforts of a specialist employment agency for ex‐prisoners resulted in 65 men starting work soon after their release from prison. The present study considers evidence regarding their involvement in further criminal activity in the subsequent ten years. The claims in terms of modifying subsequent reconviction rates must be modest but, remarkably, of the men who worked in the job for at least a year, not one was reconvicted. The authors argue that the task is to find work which is commensurate with the offender's skills and further suggest that finding suitable employment may be particularly beneficial for offenders with a “medium risk” of reconvi

摘要:

AbstractThis article describes the events leading to the introduction of the control unit in Wakefield Prison in 1974, and the way the unit operated. The control unit was recently the subject of litigation in the High Court, when a former inmate of the unit, Michael Sidney Williams, sued the Home Office for false imprisonment, claiming exemplary damages for oppressive and arbitrary governmental action and a declaration that the Home Office had no power to set up the unit. The article examines the decision and some of the possible implications for the future relationship between courts of law and prison administration.

摘要:

AbstractThe Government's White PaperYoung Offendersaims to alter radically the provisions of the criminal justice system for children and young people. This article looks at the emergence of the White Paper against the policy and practice of the 1969 Children and Young Persons Act and assesses the likely outcome of its proposals. Overall, the Government's programme will enable a considerable toughening of intervention in the lives of children and facilitates the convergence of law and order and the child‐care syste
