罪犯心理状况研究与心理矫治体系的构建

监狱作为一个特殊的社会予系统,干警与罪犯、监管与改造的这种特殊人际关系会影响他们的知觉、观念、行为导向,形成监狱内特殊的心理体系。罪犯的心理状况极大地影响改造成效,我国从80年代起建立罪犯心理矫治体系,它对于稳定监狱工作秩序和监管安全起到积极的作用。文章在分析当前犯罪心理矫治存在不足的基础上提出一些粗浅的构想,以期对监狱心理矫治的进步提供有益探索。     

Evaluation of the improving access to psychological therapies for offenders programme at HMP Lincoln: a three year prospective cohort study

The mental health needs of prisoners are significant with a high incidence of common mental health problems including anxiety and depression. Extending national initiatives such as the National Health Service Improving Access of Psychological Therapies programme to people in prison offers a valuable opportunity to address these mental health problems and improve continuity of care from prison to the community. This study adopts an observational, prospective cohort design and evaluates an IAPT for offenders service over the first three years of operation within a male Category B prison holding remand/convicted prisoners. The evaluation found large effect sizes for changes in anxiety and depression with clinical recovery being achieved in 55% of depression and 52% of anxiety cases. On average, prisoners were treated in less than five sessions employing a low-intensity cognitive-behavioural approach. The lack of established formal diagnoses and a control group limits the findings.     

我国监狱是否需要“宗教”——从监狱文化建设视角看监狱中的宗教问题

中国政府历来重视宗教问题,保护罪犯的宗教信仰权利。理论界普遍认为,宗教是监狱文化建设的重要方面,对罪犯改造具有积极的辅助作用。宗教的本质不在于宗教仪式或者宗教组织,而在于宗教精神。宗教精神包括忏悔意识和宽容精神、关爱精神以及对现实和功利主义(唯利主义)的超越精神。中国传统人文思想当中包含着丰富的宗教精神,可以启迪人生智慧、指引人生道路。因此,我国监狱需要培育罪犯的宗教精神。     

Prison Decayed: Cinematic Penal Discourse and Populism 1995–2005

The increased populist and punitive turn in criminal justice policy in the United Kingdom over recent years has led to punishment becoming politicised, harsher and more ostentatious. The role of media and popular culture discourses of prison is rarely examined in this account. Adopting a Foucauldian discourse analysis of prison films released over the past 10 years, this article explores the prison film as one important element of the discursive regime. It seeks to investigate what representational practices are at work, how they limit the meaning of prison and prisoners, and how this may contribute to debates about the nature and aim of prison in contemporary society. It argues that several discursive practices exist in cinematic representations of the incarceration that strengthen support for the use of prison. The explicit and recurring depiction of violence in most prison films over the past 10 years, while appearing to offer evidence for prison reform, does the opposite. This paper suggests that discourses around the futility and inhumanity of incarceration are scant, replaced by scenes of prison violence; rape and death appear, which appear to exist purely for the pleasure of the spectator: a generic feature of the prison film. Secondly, prisoners are largely constructed as an inhuman other: a danger to society and deserving of harsh punishment. Consequently, the discursive regime of prison in cinema over the past decade constructs prison as not only necessary, but as the only process for crime control and reduction.     

社会支持对女性服刑人员抑郁情绪的影响

Demonstrating Access to Public Services Diagrammatically

The Nomogramma di Gandy is a practical analytical tool and presentational method that can be applied to the subject of access to public services, such as universities, prisons, and hospitals. Illustrative examples are provided. It is flexible, requires minimal data, and can compare access across many geographical areas in one presentation. It addresses the need to appreciate the dynamics that can exist behind summary statistical analyses that focus on net changes, and can show trends over time. Such visual scanning of multiple data points and their relative juxtapositions, enables many common thinking errors to be minimized, if not completely avoided.     

旧题新证:先秦“狱”“讼”的法律语用演变——以出土法律文献为视角

《周礼》郑玄注云"狱"、"讼"分别指称"争罪"和"争财",但从出土法律文献视角通贯考察"狱"、"讼"二词在法律用语层面的语用,可以发现先秦时期的"狱"、"讼"二词并没有用于区分"争罪"和"争财",在法律用语层面上官府审案多称"狱",民间诉争则曰"讼",都是指称"案件"。郑玄注实是汉人以"汉今"律"周古"而得出的结论,以郑玄注为据而断定西周时的诉讼程序即刑民有分,于史实无证。     

信息化引领监狱工作科学发展的实践与思考

当今社会,信息化已成为社会经济发展的大趋势,是衡量一个行业、一个部门现代化水平的重要标志。监狱信息化就是把以计算机网络和通信技术为核心的信息技术广泛应用到监狱各项工作中,把监狱各项纷繁复杂的管理工作与现代科技紧密结合,运用现代科技手段来保障其职能的履行,实现监狱工作规范化、智能化和科学化,引领监狱工作科学发展。这就要求我们要主动迎接信息化浪潮带来的新机遇和新挑战,积极探索监狱信息化发展新模式,切实发挥信息化的引领作用。     

Comparing Male and Female Prison Releasees across Risk Factors and Postprison Recidivism

This study, using data from a large sample of prison releasees, examined the similarities and differences in men's and women's risk factors for recidivism involving rearrest for any crime and rearrest for a violent crime during an average 3.4-year follow-up period. Logistic regressions revealed several gender differences. Prior incarceration, time served, and specific types of prior arrest histories had differential associations with women's and men's overall and violent recidivism. Age, race, and conviction offense were gender-specific risk factors for overall recidivism, and education level and marital status were gender-specific risk factors for violent recidivism. Implications for risk assessment are discussed.     

Partner Violence in Women's Prison: The Social Consequences of Girlfriend Fights

In this article, we use qualitative interviews with female inmates to examine how these women describe the consequences of girlfriend fights in prison. We find that they describe these fights as both social and pervasive. We also find that those who were counseled by staff members describe being empowered by the event. We argue that prison officials must use better methods of identifying and addressing partner violence in prison. We also recommend the use of widespread programs aimed at reducing partner violence.
