Throughout history, the criminal justice system has mainly focused on men entering the criminal justice system rather than women. This is not portrayed largely by the media and society because it is not truly considered a highlight topic. Men and women face incarceration on a daily basis, causing them both to have different experiences based on their gender. The crimes and punishment faced by each gender is different and can affect the way society views the person as an individual and/or as a group. The nature and role in society can be a factor of the incarceration and the experience they may face while in the criminal justice system. Although the depiction of men entering the criminal justice system is portrayed regularly, the rate of women entering the criminal justice system has faced a higher increase than men entering the system.

The 20 day RAR would include compulsory attendance to a Women’s Centre. Although, interventions for female offenders varies from location to location, the Nottinghamshire centre offers two relevant modules for medium needs females, equating to 14 days: Healthy Relationships and Emotional Wellbeing. The remanding 6 days of the RAR would predominantly focus on eight of the nine re-offending pathways modules offered by the centre. Work is completed on a one-to-one basis to address: Accommodation, ETE, Finances, Benefits and Debt, Children, Thinking and Behaviour, Health and Wellbeing, Substance Prevention and Experience of Domestic Abuse. These eight topics are particularly relevant issues for Madeline and should enable her with professional support to address her own criminogenic needs. The number of days proposed in the PSR is currently in-line with the Nottinghamshire Probation Interventions Service Guide 2015. Likewise, consideration has also been given to the new NPS Rate Card Guide, which states the minimal number of RAR days required should only be proposed, as addition day which are not fully utilised by NPS are still chargeable by the

Consider an example, if an offender is originally classified at higher levels of security, the process of reintegration should be reflected in successive reductions in security until release of this offender into the community. Likewise, reclassification and prompt transfer of an offender to the “least restrictive” level of imprisonment improves the likelihood of that offender being considered favourably for discretionary release. Based on the research it was concluded that that there is a strong association between security level placement and discretionary release, even when controlling for

The CDC website provides ample educational information regarding tuberculosis. It gives a detail description of what Tuberculosis is, the testing used and how it works. The website also addresses the risk factors of tuberculosis and warns that traveling to countries such as Africa, Asia and Central America puts them in a higher risk of contracting TB. In addition, it provides people with preventive measures to avoid being infected. They advise against close proximity with infected, and to be cautious around people working in health care facilities, prisons, shelter or an over populate area and advise to refrain from consuming unpasteurized milk products. In addition, the Website provides Data and Statistics, which can help support previous

The article, Revising Sentences, is cleverly titled to reflect the changes in prison sentencing due to lack of budget resources. In the past, governments had enacted laws that cracked down on crime and resulted in large numbers of incarcerations. Because of the cost and upkeep of prison sentencing, states are seeking alternatives to incarceration, such as education and rehabilitation programs. In particular, this revision of the correctional system is primarily referring to low-level first-time offenders.

According to the prisons inspectorate, the ‘health’ of a prison should be measured according to safety, respect, purposeful activity and resettlement (HMCIP, 2013). Choose one of these factors, and using academic research to support your argument, discuss to what extent this represents a critical element of imprisonment in contemporary society.

Programs in prisons that are tailored to women’s unparalleled needs would benefit society in the grand scheme of things. On an individual level it could break the cycle of abuse, victimization, and self-loathing. It is essential that the double damage done to female offenders be repaired because they deserve an unbiased chance at a good life. After all, they could represent your mother, aunt, sister, niece, wife and girlfriend. In her book, A woman doing life: Notes from a prison for women, Erin George did a fine job in depicting the life of women during the time they were incarcerated. She also included a light reflection of what life was like before prison and what life could be like after prison. This book included vivid passages of how

A major issue in today’s society is female juvenile offenders and the lack of programs available to them. This sparks the great need for programs for them. Females differ greatly from males and require different programs due to the emotional and mental changes between the two. Different approaches and ways to cope as well as heal are required more for girls rather than highly structured and strict approaches. These tough approaches can do more harm than good for the girls and lead to further issues. Therefore, there is a great need for programs to try to help these girls and help them develop a better life so they can progress past crime and incarceration.

The prevailing dangerous offender provisions are embodied in Part 21 of the Criminal Code. These provisions, recommended and represented as part of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, with reference to Peace and Security, manifested as a reply to the substantial amount of criticism heightened against the earlier Habitual Criminal and Dangerous Sexual Offender sections of the Criminal Code. The previous Habitual Criminal Legislation was first established in 1947. Under these provisions it was possible to imply defensive incarceration if (a) the accused was found to be a Habitual Criminal and (b) the court was of the opinion it was advantageous for the public’s protection to sentence him to defensive imprisonment. If the person became rehabilitated

Previous strategies have proved to be ineffective and Nacro has campaigned for the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) to implement a plan that would see the legislative provision demanding accountability and constant monitoring of program efficacy. The provision should be that of inclusive terms, embracing young women and the young black minority ethnic (BAME). For it to be feasible, both targeted programs, whether in custody or in the community, they have to be culturally subtle to be able to design person centred programs incorporating individual needs and aims. Nacro will always refer to the (Harris Review 2015), from which it was concluded that every young person going through the criminal justice system is susceptible. Also, in the review are recommendations which state that, by putting young offenders in custody, this should always be the last action to be taken because the recorded recidivism rates are said to be caused by custodial sentences. The above sentiments have been welcomed by (Pettersson 2016), who argued that the young people’s narratives are testimony of a failed custodial system and a violation of a vital developmental path that adolescence inherently nurture desistance. However, the program Beyond Youth Custody (BYC) is part of the Youth in Focus (YIF)

The use of remand custody has been increasing significantly over the last decade. The length of time of an individual being placed in remand on custody is extended due to numerous factors. According to research and findings, the accused who is not being released on conditions is physically and mentally in pain during the period of waiting for the trial. The topic of the increased use of remand custody will be discussed in this essay, focusing on three key themes: describing the process of how individuals are placed on remand, the benefits and obstacles of remand custody, and the affection of this form of custody on criminal justice system as well as offenders. I will argue that the system of criminal justice needs to address the consequences of the shift and they should avoid the drawbacks for the system.

This research study will be explanatory using secondary data analysis. This study will analyze recidivism rates from the past 4 years, of female juvenile offenders after being placed in a juvenile detention facility or juvenile female offenders who have been placed in alternative programs in comparison to repeat female juvenile offenders who have not been incarcerated or placed in alternative programs. Data gathered from self-reports will be excluded from this study. Collecting self-reporting data can result in bias because offenders may be reluctant to admit to additional criminal acts out of fear of unknown repercussions.

The aim behind these community corrections programs is to give a second chance to the petty offenders and help them becoming the productive citizen of the country. Since, most of the people in the community start treating the people who once been prisoned as like an alien; they are not chosen for the jobs they deserve nor given the respect. Such behavior worsens the attitude of these people. Moreover, most of the people become psychological patients after coming out of the jail. The community corrections programs aims at providing non-violent offenders a favorable environment to build their confidence. They are saved from prison and given a chance to live a normal life. Since, the environment of jail is tormenting and instead of becoming a better person, the people with minor offences become more negative.

This is evident in modern society where prison is seen as the primary deterrent for crime. However the new penology introduces how the results of recidivism can be used as an evaluating mechanism . The new Penology will therefore demonstrate the gradual introduction of specific practices and techniques such as selective incapacitation in order to manage those who pose greater risk to

This dissertation will also examine the political motivations behind the sentencing policies and explore the suggestion that the political emphasis shifted onto personal responsibility and tougher sentencing. Moreover, as this shift resonated more with a growing fearful population, the resulting political shift saw all major parties culpable for increasing prison population in return for political gain. It is worth noting that while also looking at this situation that one should consider the reasons behind such public abandonment of progressive policies, electoral promises and previous talk of rehabilitation. With this in mind one must also consider whether the government is willing to sacrifice certain aspects of society, extend social exclusion and increase prison numbers in order to bow to pressure and secure public votes. Finally this dissertation will consider this range of issues within the confines of rehabilitation, overcrowding, reoffending and political ideals.
