ABSTRACTTheodore John Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, died by suicide in June 2023. One of the most best known criminals of the late twentieth century, and a former Harvard mathematics prodigy with an IQ of 167, Kaczynski is remembered for the 1995 publication of his 35,000-word anti-technology essay, Industrial Society and Its Future. This work called for the rejection of technological civilization and the embracing of wild nature. Its publication led to Kaczynski’s identification, apprehension, and a convoluted set of legal proceedings that culminated in a coerced plea arrangement and his incarceration in the US federal supermax prison. Kaczynski was not permitted to introduce a defense of necessity. Instead, he was labeled as ‘mad’ by the press and his family, and identified as a paranoid schizophrenic by a court-appointed psychiatrist. But several commentators have argued that Kaczynski’s reasoning is sound. Indeed, many of Kaczynski’s observations about technology and the environment have proven to be prescient. Accordingly, a new generation of followers have adopted his anti-technology philosophy. If Kaczynski was correct about technology and the environment, this might warrant a reevaluation of his socio-theoretical writings and reconsideration of his constructed persona as a mad genius.KEYWORDS: UnabomberKaczynskianti-techclimate changeUnabomber Manifesto Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.

ABSTRACTIn the wake of the five-decade-long armed conflict in Colombia, the Comprehensive System of Truth, Justice, Reparation, and Non-Repetition was created as an ambitious system to deal with past crimes. It aims at engaging with all the pillars of transitional justice to ensure long-lasting peace and stability. Within this system, the Special Jurisdiction for Peace is tasked with delivering justice, while contributing to securing reconciliation and promoting peace. To do so, this transitional judicial body combines both retributive and restorative proceedings and sanctions. It embodies a mixed approach to criminal justice ensuring both justice and peace in the country. This approach, however, has been criticised as a lenient, and less than optimal, way of delivering peace and justice. Some see this as a methodology motivated by practical constraints and the lack of political will to pursue a more rigorous and prosecution-orientated model. This article aims at refuting such a perception by shedding light on the innovative mixed approach. It suggests that this approach might be well suited for delivering national and international criminal justice in transitional settings.KEYWORDS: Special Jurisdiction for PeaceColombiarestorative justicetransitional justiceInternational Criminal Court Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. Even after the dissolution of the FARC, and despite the Government’s most recent efforts to ensure ceasefire and continue the peace talks, the Colombian conflict persists, namely, for the other armed groups, such as the National Liberation Army (ELN, or Ejército de Liberación Nacional), which remain active in the Country.2. The Peace Agreement was rejected by a slim majority in a plebiscite on 2 October 2016.3. This was not the first time Colombia adopted transitional justice, incorporating restorative justice principles. There was the ‘Justice and Peace Law’ that was adopted in 2005 after the peace agreement between the State and paramilitary units.4. Also commonly referred to by its acronym in Spanish, ‘JEP’, i.e. Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz.5. Most notably, the ICC has incorporated supposedly restorative features within its proceedings such as victim participation and reparations (Llorente, Citation2013, p. 5) with the intent of equipping this Court with the means to effectively enforce international criminal justice all the while contributing to reconciliation and long-lasting peace in transitions (De Hoon, Citation2017, p. 612; Findlay, Citation2016, p. 153). However, this incorporation remains deeply rooted in the conceptual overlap between retributive and restorative justice described above (Daly & Proietti-Scifoni, Citation2011, p. 52). However, it sets an important precedent that should not be overlook (De Hoon, Citation2017, p. 612) – that of resorting to restorative justice to make criminal trials better suited for transitional settings, but others as well
在哥伦比亚长达50年的武装冲突之后,真相、正义、赔偿和不再重犯综合系统作为一个雄心勃勃的系统被创建,以处理过去的罪行。它旨在与过渡时期司法的所有支柱接触,以确保持久的和平与稳定。在这一制度内,和平特别管辖权的任务是伸张正义,同时为确保和解和促进和平作出贡献。为此,这个过渡司法机构将报复性和恢复性诉讼和制裁结合起来。它体现了一种混合的刑事司法方法,确保该国的正义与和平。然而,这种方法被批评为一种宽松的、不太理想的实现和平与正义的方式。有些人认为,这种方法的动机是受到实际限制和缺乏追求更严格和以起诉为重点的模式的政治意愿。本文旨在通过揭示创新的混合方法来反驳这种看法。报告指出,这种做法可能非常适合在过渡时期提供国家和国际刑事司法。关键词:和平特别管辖权哥伦比亚恢复性司法过渡司法国际刑事法院披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。即使在哥伦比亚革命武装力量解散之后,尽管政府最近作出了确保停火和继续和平谈判的努力,哥伦比亚的冲突仍在继续,即其他武装团体,如民族解放军(ELN或Liberación全国ejacricito)仍在该国活跃。《和平协定》在2016年10月2日的公民投票中以微弱多数被否决。这不是哥伦比亚第一次采用纳入恢复性司法原则的过渡时期司法。在国家和准军事单位之间达成和平协议后,于2005年通过了《正义与和平法》。通常也用西班牙语的首字母缩略词“JEP”指代,即Jurisdicción special para la Paz.5。最值得注意的是,国际刑事法院在其诉讼程序中纳入了所谓的恢复性特征,如受害者参与和赔偿(Llorente, Citation2013,第5页),目的是使该法院具备有效执行国际刑事司法的手段,同时为过渡时期的和解和持久和平做出贡献(De Hoon, Citation2017,第612页;Findlay, Citation2016,第153页)。然而,这种结合仍然深深植根于上述报应性司法和恢复性司法之间的概念重叠(Daly & Proietti-Scifoni, Citation2011,第52页)。然而,它开创了一个不应忽视的重要先例(De Hoon, Citation2017, p. 612) -诉诸恢复性司法使刑事审判更适合过渡环境,但也适用于其他环境。法令1957/2019.7第9条。罪犯自愿参与诉讼的要求导致了对SJP成功的批评和关注(Sandoval等人,Citation2022,第10页),并建议该司法机构积极参与促进自愿参与(国际法院,Citation2020,第10页)。然而,到目前为止,对SJP的附着力已被证明相当高(li逍遥,Citation2020)。法令1957/2019.9第62条。根据第1820/2016号法案,哥伦比亚革命武装力量成员犯下所谓的政治罪,即被认为是叛乱军事实践固有的罪行,将获得大赦(Freeman & Orozco, Citation2020, pp. 241-242)。反过来,国家工作人员可能不会获得这种大赦或赦免,但可以从平行程序中受益,例如根据第1820/2016号法令第46条,将以类似的条件给予刑事起诉豁免。法令1957/2019.11第40(2)条。法令1957/2019.12第80条。法令1957/2019.13第15(g)条和第80条。法令1957/2019.14第141条。第1957/2019.15号法令第126和141条。法令1957/2019.16第125条。法令1957/2019.17第125条。法令1957/2019第141条。在几个相关利益攸关方的参与下,和平与公正委员会仍在起草有效执行这种特别制裁的具体方式(联合国,2022年,第13页)。法令1957/2019.19第127条。1957/2019.20号法令第130条和第143条。法令1957/2019.21第128条。第129条,关于第1957/2019.22号法令第84(h)条。法令1957/2019.23第97条。法令1957/2019第141条。本研究得到了葡萄牙科学技术基金会的支持。(UID / 00714/2020)。

ABSTRACTThe emerging research base on Restorative Practices (RP) efficacy in schools lacks validated instruments of RP implementation fidelity that capture youth responsiveness to RP components. Therefore, members of a University-District Community Based Participatory (CBPR) project collaboratively developed the Student Restorative Culture Survey (SRCS). This study seeks to examine the construct validity of the SRCS using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the theoretical foundations of the instrument. This study found evidence supporting the construct validity for the SRCS with a five-factor structure of RP Benefits, RP Quality, School Support, Repair Harm, and Feeling Left Out. Given that RP is rooted in an emancipatory paradigm, it is critical to ensure that implementation measures reflect contextual modifications and center student experiences.KEYWORDS: Restorative practicessurvey validationyouth voiceimplementation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACT Despite being one of the most prevalent manifestations of trafficking in human beings, labour exploitation still results in few convictions. Based on 33 interviews with 28 professionals from the criminal justice system and 5 from the field of labour, this paper analyses the obstacles these professionals face when approaching this crime in Spain as a case study of what may not be working in other Western European countries. The research results point to three types of barriers encountered when dealing with these cases: regulatory; institutional (both pretrial and extra-procedural and during the criminal proceedings themselves); and those related to professionals’ attitudes towards these cases. The difficulties that can be included in each of these areas are identified, and solutions are proposed to overcome them to make the criminal justice system’s response to this crime more effective.

ABSTRACT In recent years, a new type of interpersonal crime has emerged where victimization happens through the use of technology and/or cyber space. The legal, law enforcement, as well as social scientific research fields have yet to fully grasp the scope of this modern crime type. In this paper, we review what is currently known on the issue with 5 Ws and 1 H approach, in terms of their current understanding, prevalence, victimization patterns, motivations, and relationship between violence in the cyberspace and offline. We end with a proposal for future directions and argue that a useful framework for researching this type of crime may be the interpersonal model first developed within the investigative psychology field for the classification and profiling of sexually violent offenses.

ABSTRACT Following highly publicized mass shootings on college campuses, more attention has been placed on making people feel safer at places of higher learning. In response, several states have passed campus carry policies, which permit conceal carry holders to carry their firearms on campus. Lawmakers have pursued these policies while ignoring the fact that most students and employees at college and universities are unsupportive of campus carry policies. The study aims to add to the campus carry literature by investigating the role of information concerning campus carry and its source of influence on support and perceptions of S.B. 11 amongst Black students. We find that the source of knowledge, previous knowledge, and perceptions of campus crime influence support for S.B. 11. We consider invoking transformative approaches to education in order to empower underserved constituents and hold policy makers accountable when developing contentious policy.

ABSTRACT The ‘encounter conception’ of restorative justice is definitively the most widespread of all, and practices that involve an encounter may well deserve to be called ‘fully restorative’. That said, an encounter between an individual, identifiable ‘victim’ and an equally individual, identifiable ‘offender’ is not always possible (or desirable). Indeed, an encounter conception of restorative justice is problematic for a variety of reasons, including for attaching people to distinct labels – those of ‘offender’ and ‘victim’ – when only a few have the ‘paradoxical privilege’ to be recognised as victims. This article is aimed at promoting an exercise of thinking beyond an encounter conception of restorative justice. We would like to argue that such an exercise facilitates the processes of us rethinking the current language of restorative justice (still too restricted compared to the current criminal justice system). It also helps us to acknowledge the movement’s wide-ranging agendas or directions (and to position ourselves within them).

Indeed, an encounter conception of restorative justice is problematic for a variety of reasons, including for attaching people to distinct labels – those of ‘offender’ and ‘victim’ – when only a few have the ‘paradoxical privilege’ to be recognised as victims. This article is aimed at promoting an exercise of thinking beyond an encounter conception of restorative justice. We would like to argue that such an exercise facilitates the processes of us rethinking the current language of restorative justice (still too restricted compared to the current criminal justice system). It also helps us to acknowledge the movement’s wide-ranging agendas or directions (and to position ourselves within them).","PeriodicalId":10583,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Justice Review","volume":"26 1","pages":"93 - 110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47970629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
