摘要:

Abstract:The United States frequently anticipates social problems which later appear in the United Kingdom, and the similarities between the two democracies often conceal significant differences. This is so in the case of the procedures of the criminal justice system. The independent Supreme Court, the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and the ‘class action’ procedures are not available here. The author considers the ways in which trends in the two countries have moved and the impact of these on research, and research implementation strategies in the United Kingdom. Criminology in the U.K. is diagnosed as suffering from a ‘chill’. However, there are methods whereby light can be thrown upon almost any topic, and the criminologist in the United Kingdom must accept the challenge and be more inn

摘要:

Abstract:The origin of the parole system in England and Wales, and its development in the 1970s, provide good illustrations of ‘penological pragmatism’, with policy and practice reacting to the recurring crises of prison overcrowding. It lacks a sound theoretical basis and clear guiding principles, although there has been a partial shift of emphasis from the ‘treatment model’ to the ‘assessment of risk’ of reoffending. A number of unresolved anomalies remain in the operation of the system, which can be removed only by a new statement of the principles that should guide parole decisions. This should be accompanied by a reconstruction of the system, extending parole eligibility to all prisoners, and establishing Regional Parole Review Boards to make decisions on short‐ and medium‐sentence cases. The national Parole Board would continue to deal with all long‐term prisoners. Consideration should be given to the introduction of compulsory after‐care for

摘要:

Abstract:The steady increase in crime places very real strains upon the administration of justice in our courts today — the trend for increasing crime statistics over the last 40 years confirms this. Despite expansions in the courts, decisions are being taken not to prosecute cases which in former days would have been prosecuted. However it is in the public interest that justice should not be long delayed. Steps taken to relieve this pressure are multifaceted: increased number of warning cases, new pre‐trial procedures to reduce length of trials, studies in alternatives to prosecution. But the future is not pessimistic — the essential framework is fair and
