Time's Up

This study tests general strain theory among a sample of 216 incarcerated women. Incarcerated women cope with many strains in prison. They frequently rely on social support from other inmates as coping mechanisms. Some even form pseudofamilies. Such relationships may impact the level of strain and negative emotions these women experience and the misconduct they engage in. The purpose of this study is to explore what relationship (if any) exists between strain, anger, depression, institutional misconduct, and pseudofamily membership. Findings suggest limited support for general strain theory and highlight the importance of women's past victimizations and impulsivity in predicting their misconduct.     

对我国社区矫正适用范围的质疑——以社区矫正的性质为视角

对社区矫正的适用范围的划定应当与社区矫正的性质以及我国现行的刑罚制度相一致。社区矫正是一种社会化的刑罚执行活动。根据是否具备社会化行刑条件这一标准,假释制度、缓刑制度与管制刑制度完全具备社会化行刑的条件;暂予监外执行制度部分具备社会化行刑的条件;而被剥夺政治权利的监外服刑人不具有社会化行刑的条件。     

优势视角下的社会工作介入青少年社区矫正初探

青少年罪犯是一个特殊的社会群体，帮助青少年罪犯顺利地回归社会是青少年社区矫正的最终目的。优势视角下的社会工作是一种策略性的弱化案主的问题，而更多地关注案主的优势和潜能的社会工作实践的新模式。借助优势视角，分析优势视角介入青少年社区矫正的三个层面的策略：发现优势、发挥优势和发展优势。     

Treatment Fidelity in Sex Offender Programming: Assessing Delivery across Community Providers

In an effort to focus on treatment fidelity in the sex offender field, this study evaluated the treatment delivery of ten clinicians who provided treatment to sex offenders under community supervision. Data collection and analysis involved a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Results revealed that treatment providers varied in their use of empirically-supported treatment techniques, their participation in the community containment approach, and their adherence to the treatment contract. These findings provide support for the continued study of treatment fidelity in the corrections literature. Implications and future directions are discussed.     

对社区矫正审前调查工作的思考——以本溪市为例

《社区矫正实施办法》正式实施已有一年多时间,肯定其进步性的同时,在现实推行中所暴露出的诸多问题也不容忽视。本文以社区矫正审前调查工作为切入点,以本溪地区为例进行调研,并就如何有针对性地做好社区矫正审前调查工作进行了探讨。     

未成年人社区矫正后再犯问题研究——以《社区矫正实施办法》为视角

《社区矫正实施办法》首次将未成年人和成年人在非监禁刑罚执行管理上的区别做出了具体的规定,这是我国未成年人非监禁刑罚制度的一大进步。但在针对未成年人社区矫正规定的法律位阶冲突以及矫正措施的种类和具体执行制度上,仍存亟待完善之处。适时制定《社区矫正法》,对上述问题加以完善,将有助于从刑事政策角度对未成年人保护和教育。

法学专业学生参与社区矫正的路径探索

随着我国社区矫正试点工作的不断深入,整合和利用各种社会力量参与社区矫正已经成为我国社区矫正工作进一步发展的基本趋势。对法学学生以志愿者身份融入社区矫正工作的参与模式、法学学生参与社区矫正工作的积极效用、法学应用性培养与社区矫正工作的衔接机制进行探索,既有利于促进我国社区矫正工作的长效发展,又有利于法学教育专业优势、人才优势的发挥,真正实现学用结合。     

DOES THE TIME CAUSE THE CRIME? AN EXAMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TIME SERVED AND REOFFENDING IN THE NETHERLANDS*

This work uses a sample of Dutch offenders, serving an average of 6.7 months of confinement, to examine the relationship between time served in prison and future criminality. To overcome the selection issues inherent in this examination, this article introduces a new method to the criminological literature that relies on a generalization of the propensity score to control for observed differences in offenders sentenced to different periods of confinement. On the whole, very little evidence of a relationship between time served and future offending was found. In particular, 3‐year reconviction rate and the proportion of offenders reconvicted in the next 3 years do not seem to depend on incarceration length. Although a relationship between time served and future sentence length was found, the evidence is modest.
