This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La consolidación de la pena privativa de libertad como pena típica de las sociedades contemporáneas, y la reforma penitenciaria por la que esta nueva penalidad se fue imponiendo en los ordenamientos jurídicos de los nuevos Estados de Derecho, fue probablemente uno de los proyectos más apasionados, esperanzadores y humanitarios de los que se acometieron a comienzos de la Edad Contemporánea. Esta obra pretende aportar una nueva perspectiva al estudio de la reforma penitenciaria española, desde sus antecedentes más inmediatos, a finales del Antiguo Régimen, hasta que la Guerra Civil española pusiera fin su impulso original a principios del siglo XX. A lo largo de sus páginas, se trata de indagar en los orígenes y el devenir histórico de reforma penitenciaria española, contextualizándola en el ámbito internacional, y aplicando fundamentalmente una metodología de estudio histórico-jurídica, a través del análisis de las principales doctrinas científicas que influyeron en su desarrollo y del espíritu de las leyes en las que se sustentó durante su largo recorrido. Isabel Ramos Vázquez es Profesora Titular de Historia del Derecho y de las Instituciones de la Universidad de Jaén. Doctora en Derecho (Universidad de Jaén, 2001), Doctora en Historia (Universidad de Educación a Distancia, 2013), una de sus principales líneas de investigación en los últimos tiempos ha sido la historia del derecho penal y penitenciario, con obras como Arrestos, cárceles y prisiones en los derechos históricos españoles, Premio Nacional de Investigación Victoria Kent 2007, Ministerio del Interior, Madrid, 2008, o La mujer en la cárcel: historia jurídica y políticas penitenciarias en España, XIV Premio Leonor Guzmán de la Diputación de Córdova y la Universidad de Córdoba, Córdoba, 2011.
Download or read book Desarrollo y destrucci n del sistema liberal de prisiones en Espa a written by Luis Gargallo Vaamonde and published by Ediciones de la Universidad de Castilla La Mancha. This book was released on 2016-07-24 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El sistema liberal de prisiones se fue edificando a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX a base de idealismos e imposturas normativas y con una gran escasez de recursos. Su crisis fue a la vez fundante y sistémica, al menos hasta la primera década del siglo XX, dejando un legado de grandes déficits que nunca se superarían del todo. En el balance histórico de la violencia institucional y de la producción de crueldad punitiva no podía soslayarse el caótico y agónico devenir del sistema penitenciario español que construyó el Estado liberal. Por eso había que observarlo en toda su extensión, esclareciendo zonas penumbrosas que habían sido poco exploradas. Este libro cubre en gran medida un vacío historiográfico muy llamativo, peliaguda tarea que ya se estaba demorando demasiado. Luís Gargallo aborda con buen método tres grandes aspectos de un período largo, el de la Restauración, en el que el sistema penitenciario fue adquiriendo solidez y credibilidad institucional hasta alcanzar su máximo desarrollo en los primeros años de la Segunda República, poco antes de que la guerra del 36 lo atenazara hasta llevarlo al colapso: 1) el cambiante marco normativo y gubernativo de las prisiones españolas, siempre impotente y hasta farragoso, pero inteligible y a la postre constituyente del poder punitivo que realmente se llevó a la práctica; 2) el peso de la función institucional del encierro carcelario en las actitudes sociales y políticas, en definitiva, en la cultura punitiva que se fue creando y que el propio sistema ayudó a crear en un contexto que sitúa también a España en “el proceso civilizatorio penal”; y 3) la realidad estadística del encierro penitenciario, números fríos de una historia social del castigo que gracias a la investigación de Luís Gargallo Vaamonde hoy podemos conocer y valorar con más amplitud y seriedad.

Download or read book Assessing Correctional Rehabilitation written by Francis T. Cullen and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theme that has persisted throughout the history of American corrections is that efforts should be made to reform offenders. In particular, at the beginning of the 1900s, the rehabilitative ideal was enthusiastically trumpeted and helped to direct the renovation of the correctional system (e.g., implementation of indeterminate sentencing, parole, probation, a separate juvenile justice system). For the next seven decades, offender treatment reigned as the dominant correctional philosophy. Then, in the early 1970s, rehabilitation suffered a precipitous reversal of fortune. The larger disruptions in American society in this era prompted a general critique of the “state run” criminal justice system. Rehabilitation was blamed by liberals for allowing the state to act coercively against offenders, and was blamed by conservatives for allowing the state to act leniently toward offenders. In this context, the death knell of rehabilitation was seemingly sounded by Robert Martinson's (1974b) influential “nothing works” essay, which reported that few treatment programs reduced recidivism. This review of evaluation studies gave legitimacy to the antitreatment sentiments of the day; it ostensibly “proved” what everyone “already knew”: Rehabilitation did not work. In the subsequent quarter century, a growing revisionist movement has questioned Martinson's portrayal of the empirical status of the effectiveness of treatment interventions. Through painstaking literature reviews, these revisionist scholars have shown that many correctional treatment programs are effective in decreasing recidivism. More recently, they have undertaken more sophisticated quantitative syntheses of an increasing body of evaluation studies through a technique called “meta-analysis.” These meta-analyses reveal that across evaluation studies, the recidivism rate is, on average, 10 percentage points lower for the treatment group than for the control group. However, this research has also suggested that some correctional interventions have no effect on offender criminality (e.g., punishment-oriented programs), while others achieve substantial reductions in recidivism (i.e., approximately 25 percent). This variation in program success has led to a search for those “principles” that distinguish effective treatment interventions from ineffective ones. There is theoretical and empirical support for the conclusion that the rehabilitation programs that achieve the greatest reductions in recidivism use cognitive-behavioral treatments, target known predictors of crime for change, and intervene mainly with high-risk offenders. “Multisystemic treatment” is a concrete example of an effective program that largely conforms to these principles. In the time ahead, it would appear prudent that correctional policy and practice be “evidence based.” Knowledgeable about the extant research, policymakers would embrace the view that rehabilitation programs, informed by the principles of effective intervention, can “work” to reduce recidivism and thus can help foster public safety. By reaffirming rehabilitation, they would also be pursuing a policy that is consistent with public opinion research showing that Americans continue to believe that offender treatment should be an integral goal of the correctional system.
Download or read book Nature Inside written by William D. Browning and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a leading proponent of biophilic design, this is the only practical guide to biophilic design principles for interior designers. Describing the key benefits, principles and processes of biophilic design, Nature Inside illustrates the implementation of biophilic design in interior design practice, across a range of international case studies – at different scales, and different typologies. Starting with the principles of biophilic design, and the principles and processes in practice, the book then showcases a variety of interior spaces – residential, retail, workplace, hospitality, education, healthcare and manufacturing. The final chapter looks ‘outside the walls’, giving a case study at the campus and city scale. With practical guidance and real-world solutions that can be directly-applied in day-to-day practice, this is a must-have for designers interested in applying biophilic principles.

Download or read book Colonial Situations written by George W. Stocking and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1991-10-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As European colonies in Asia and Africa became independent nations, as the United States engaged in war in Southeast Asia and in covert operations in South America, anthropologists questioned their interactions with their subjects and worried about the political consequences of government-supported research. By 1970, some spoke of anthropology as “the child of Western imperialism” and as “scientific colonialism.” Ironically, as the link between anthropology and colonialism became more widely accepted within the discipline, serious interest in examining the history of anthropology in colonial contexts diminished. This volume is an effort to initiate a critical historical consideration of the varying “colonial situations” in which (and out of which) ethnographic knowledge essential to anthropology has been produced. The essays comment on ethnographic work from the middle of the nineteenth century to nearly the end of the twentieth, in regions from Oceania through southeast Asia, the Andaman Islands, and southern Africa to North and South America. The “colonial situations” also cover a broad range, from first contact through the establishment of colonial power, from District Officer administrations through white settler regimes, from internal colonialism to international mandates, from early “pacification” to wars of colonial liberation, from the expropriation of land to the defense of ecology. The motivations and responses of the anthropologists discussed are equally varied: the romantic resistance of Maclay and the complicity of Kubary in early colonialism; Malinowski’s salesmanship of academic anthropology; Speck’s advocacy of Indian land rights; Schneider’s grappling with the ambiguities of rapport; and Turner’s facilitation of Kaiapo cinematic activism. “Provides fresh insights for those who care about the history of science in general and that of anthropology in particular, and a valuable reference for professionals and graduate students.”—Choice “Among the most distinguished publications in anthropology, as well as in the history of social sciences.”—George Marcus, Anthropologica
Download or read book Fear of Crime in the United States written by Jodi Lane and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear of Crime in the United States: Causes, Consequences, and Contradictions examines the nature and extent of crime-related fear. The authors describe and evaluate key research findings in the specific areas of methodology; gender, age, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status; contextual predictors; and the consequences of fear of crime. They discuss the improvement of fear of crime measures over time; the consistent finding that women are more afraid of crime; the impact of age, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status on fear; and the importance of environmental factors (such as witnessing crime and perceptions of diversity, disorder, and decline) and indirect victimization (through acquaintances and the media) on fear. The book also describes the physical, psychological, behavioral, and social effects of fear of crime. In the end, the authors tie the findings together to suggest important policy and research implications from the wealth of available research. There is no other book of which I am aware that so masterfully reviews empirical studies on fear of crime during the past half century to show how the research has changed and will continue to evolve. As long as there is crime, there will be perceptions of risk and fear of victimization; and Lane et al. help one to sift through the research with conceptual precision to formulate the most scientifically valid conclusions about the phenomena. The book is a hedgehog view of the research but points the way to needed research on topics such as fear of terrorism and how social context shapes perceptions of crime. The book is must-reading for those involved in research on victimization or fear of crime. - Kenneth F. Ferraro, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center on Aging and the Life Course, Purdue University This book consolidates the literature on fear of crime in a way that is unprecedented and that lends much-needed coherence to the area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1887, “In Russian and French Prisons” is Peter Kropotkin's detailed critique of French and Russian prisons in the late 19th century. Within it, Kropotkin offers poignant descriptions of the conditions of those who undergo solitary confinement while offering his own panacea to the wealth of problems engendered by the existence of prisons: abolish them entirely. Although written over a century ago, Kropotkin's astute criticisms of the penal system are still very much relevant today. Contents include: “My First acquaintance With Russian Prisons”, “Russian Prisons”, “He Fortress Of St. Peter And St. Paul”, “Outcast Russia”, “The Exile In Siberia”, “The Exile On Sakhali”, “A Foreigner On Russian Prisons”, etc. Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin (1842–1921) was a Russian writer, activist, revolutionary, economist, scientist, sociologist, essayist, historian, researcher, political scientist, geographer, geographer, biologist, philosopher and advocate of anarcho-communism. He was a prolific writer, producing a large number of pamphlets and articles, the most notable being “The Conquest of Bread and Fields, Factories and Workshops” and “Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution”. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an excerpt from “Comrade Kropotkin” by Victor Robinson.
