Abstract:The degree of congruence among the public and between ‘police’ and ‘public’ in attitudes to law and order has been a matter of considerable debate in England and Wales. This article presents some previously unpublished survey data in the context of a general review of research on this topic, and goes on to discuss police and public views about crime causation as a reflection of ideological ‘domain assumptions’ about the nature of offending. It concludes that although there are broad similarities in perspective between police and public, this homogeneity begins to break down when the data are disaggregated at a local level. It also questions the revival of a purely reactive model of policing as an ‘ideal type’ for

摘要:

Abstract:Image and reality of criminal justice in The Netherlands differ to a considerable degree. The causes for the relatively mild penal climate in Holland have to be taken into account, if a potential successful strategy to preserve that climate is to be developed. The discussion about the merits of abolitionism, currently held within the Dutch League for Penal Reform, is dealt with in detail.

摘要:

Abstract:The growth of new measures of coping with crime and social disorder, especially in America, employing mediation (as method) and reconciliation (as aim) is described. Applications of such techniques in educational establishments in the United States are then outlined, including campus ombudsmen, training for conflict resolution, and school mediation projects. Early developments in Britain, and potential future directions, are discussed, and reference made to the possible suitability for starting new initiatives of the recently announced Educational Support Grants for Pilot Projects to Promote Social Responsibility among Young People.

摘要:

Abstract:The B.B.C. is facing a fiscal crisis ‐ its revenue will no longer increase without further rises in the licence fee. The government is reluctant to raise the licence fee for political reasons and because of anxiety over its impact on low income households. There is evidence of growing resistance towards paving the licence fee. One of the major reasons suggested for non‐payment is that poor households simply cannot afford to pay the lump sum required.The Peacock Committee are considering other methods of raising revenue for the B.B.C. The Public Accounts Committee have called for more efficient detection methods and higher penalties. But these solutions will cost money and hurt poor households most. One way of avoiding prosecuting poor evaders and ensuring that the licence is paid, is to introduce a system of licence‐direct similar to that pioneered by the fuel b

摘要:

Abstract:Education in the prison environment can have signifcant educational and behavioural outcomes in spite of the authoritarian nature of the regime, but to achieve either, a link must be established between the academic content of the programme and the realm of action. Three arguments, one political, one theoretical and the last educational, are advanced for the institution of democratic practices and a democratic ideology (though not necessarily a democratic pedagogy) within the prison education programme. Based on an experience in British Columbia, formal and informal democratic practices are seen as enhancing notions of citizenship, encouraging personal maturation and development, and deepening the impact of the educational content.
