Confinement as a two‐stage turning point: Do changes in identity or social structure predict subsequent changes in criminal activity?*

Scholars frequently characterize incarceration as a possible turning point in criminal activity. This implies a two‐stage process: 1) change in life‐course mechanisms around confinement and reentry result in 2) subsequent change in criminal activity relative to preconfinement. Following this model, we examine change in criminal activity, criminal identity, and social/structural challenges using data from the Prison Project, a cohort of adult males with short‐term confinement in the Netherlands in 2010–2011. Results of a novel test for within‐individual change in arrests from preconfinement to post‐reentry show that most individuals are stable—yet there is a substantial group who go down meaningfully and a much smaller group who go up. Even though changes in criminal identity from the intervening period do not predict these change groups, increases in social/structural challenges predict those who go up in criminal activity. We build from prior work on desistance and reentry, contrasting our findings and highlighting the unique insight gained from, as well as challenges of, measuring individual change within our two‐stage turning point model. Although life‐course mechanisms often correspond with changes in criminal activity concurrently, identifying individual changes that are predictors of subsequent shifts in criminal offending remains elusive.     

监狱文化思潮与现代性

文化促成了监狱的改革、改良与变革，并在不断的改革、改良与变革中更加趋于理性和具有人文属性。尤其是现代监狱制度的构建，更是文化的产物，换句话说，是文化激活了监狱的现代性，当然，监狱的现代性又促成了文化尤其是监狱文化的培育和发展。在这个意义上说，监狱文化和现代性具有互动和互补关系。以近代以来世界监狱制度的变迁和中国监狱的改革改良为视角考量，便可得到确证。     

基于360度考评的监狱心理测评系统探祈

矫正质量评估是对服刑人员的悔改程度和达到“守法公民”状态程度的评价和测量。服刑人员的心理测评是指运用心理测评的方法对服刑人员认知、情绪、人格和行为等进行系统的数量化评定。两者相互区别，不可混淆，同时又相辅相成。基于360度考评的监狱心理测评系统将心理测评、人员素质测评、绩效考评的方法有效融合在一起，实现了考评主体的多元化，考评对象的多样化，以及考评内容的丰富化，可为实现将心理矫治作为服刑人员教育和改造的第四大手段提供重要的理论基础。

A French Perspective on Culture in Prison

The article investigates cultural activities in French prisons in light of the 1986 protocol between the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Justice. It looks at the main stakeholders involved to understand how decisions are being made; to uncover the motivations of cultural institutions and artists to perform in prison; to highlight the main difficulties; and finally, to see how actions are being evaluated. An in-depth literature review as well as interviews with the main stakeholders have been performed. As a consequence, a comprehensive perspective is given to this rather unique configuration of culture in prison.
