Unmitigated Punishment: Adolescent Criminal Responsibility And Lwop Sentences, Barry C. Feld Jan 2007

Unmitigated Punishment: Adolescent Criminal Responsibility And Lwop Sentences, Barry C. Feld

Articles

For more than a century, youth crime policies have oscillated between periods of more lenient treatment and harsher punishment. Justice officials and the public alternatively attributed high crime rates either to ";soft"; rehabilitative policies and advocated ";tougher"; sanctions, or to excessively harsh penalties that failed adequately to treat youths. A century ago, Progressive reformers combined a more modern construction of childhood with a more scientific conception of social control to create a judicial-welfare alternative and to remove children from the adult criminal process. 2 They used juvenile courts to assimilate, ";Americanize,"; and control ";other people's"; children.


A Century Of Juvenile Justice: A Work In Progress Or A Revolution That Failed?, Barry C. Feld Jan 2007

A Century Of Juvenile Justice: A Work In Progress Or A Revolution That Failed?, Barry C. Feld

Articles

A century ago, Progressive reformers adopted a more modem construction of childhood as a developmental period of innocence, dependence, and vulnerability. They embraced a more scientific understanding of social control - positive criminology - and tried to identify the causes of crime and to treat, rather than to punish, offenders. Reformers combined the new vision of childhood with new insights into criminality to create a judicial-welfare alternative to the adult criminal process. Jurisdiction over dependent as well as delinquent children reflected juvenile courts' broader role as a child-saving welfare agency and not simply a "junior" criminal court.'

Restorative Justice As Internalization Of The Rule Of Law: Combining Restoration With Retribution In The Film Festen, Michal Alberstein Jan 2007

Restorative Justice As Internalization Of The Rule Of Law: Combining Restoration With Retribution In The Film Festen, Michal Alberstein

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

In this paper, I will use a film analysis to explore the potential of restorative justice processes as a more comprehensive, mature approach to the phenomenon of crime. By following the microlevel transformations within the family trial/victim-offender mediation in the film, I will try to develop a notion of law that incorporates the retributive elements into a broader framework of restoration and amendment. I will use cultural analysis as a foundation for the theoretical argument and also offer an "appropriate justice," inter-cultural formula for addressing crime in a comprehensive manner.

If We Build It They Will Come: Human Rights Violations And The Prison Industrial Complex, Smith, Angela Hattery Jan 2007

If We Build It They Will Come: Human Rights Violations And The Prison Industrial Complex, Smith, Angela Hattery

Societies Without Borders

This paper utilizes the concept of the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) in order to examine the complex configuration comprised of the US prison system, multi-national corporations, small private businesses and the inmate population in the social and political economy of the 21st century US. Utilizing data on the PIC we pose the question: What is the purpose of prison, the rehabilitation of the inmates or the exploitation of prison labor? Specifically we argue, using Wright's neo-Marxist theory, that the current system of incarceration in the US mimics the exploitation characteristic of the slave plantation economy of the southern US, ripe …

Human Trafficking: Monitoring And Evaluation Of International Projects Are Limited, But Experts Suggest Improvements, United States Government Accountability Office

Human Trafficking: Data and Documents

While governments, international organizations, and nongovernmental organizations have recognized the importance of collaborating and have established some coordination mechanisms and practices, they will need to overcome challenges that have impeded collaboration in the past for their efforts to be successful. In two of the three countries GAO visited, it found that host governments—which bear ultimate responsibility for combating trafficking within their borders—have passed national anti-trafficking laws and enacted national action plans. However, organizations continue to face numerous challenges when collaborating to combat human trafficking, including varying levels of government commitment and capacity. For example, some governments treat foreign trafficking victims …
