Prison environments pose substantial health risks and may adversely affect the health and wellbeing of both prisoners and staff. Drawing extensively from international literature across several disciplines and supported by empirical data, this article presents a multidisciplinary study that focuses on mental health in prison settings and examines unconventional healthcare interventions, using yoga and meditation as a case study. Despite compelling research suggesting overall positive outcomes, the idea of yoga in prisons is not fully integrated into criminal justice policy and practice, and there are gaps in prison yoga research. Recognising the multifaceted roles of yoga within correctional institutions, this article specifically explores the impact of yoga on improving the mental health of incarcerated individuals and prison personnel. The primary aim is to raise awareness about mental health challenges in prisons and underscore the healthcare benefits of implementing prison yoga programmes. Accordingly, the article provides an overview of mental health issues in prisons, assesses the potential benefits and mechanisms of yoga and meditation as alternative mental healthcare methods and explores the barriers to integrating these practices into prison healthcare. It advocates for yoga and similar practices as viable mental healthcare alternatives for both prisoners and prison staff. The article's analysis contributes to a preliminary framework for policymakers, prison managers, staff, and scholars seeking to enhance mental health outcomes in penal facilities.
监狱环境对健康构成巨大风险,可能对囚犯和工作人员的健康和福祉产生不利影响。本文广泛借鉴了多个学科的国际文献,并以实证数据为支持,介绍了一项多学科研究,重点关注监狱环境中的心理健康问题,并以瑜伽和冥想为案例,研究了非常规的医疗保健干预措施。尽管令人信服的研究表明,在监狱中开展瑜伽活动总体上会产生积极的效果,但这一理念并未完全融入刑事司法政策和实践中,监狱瑜伽研究也存在空白。本文认识到瑜伽在惩教机构中的多方面作用,特别探讨了瑜伽对改善被监禁者和监狱工作人员心理健康的影响。其主要目的是提高人们对监狱中心理健康挑战的认识,并强调实施监狱瑜伽计划对医疗保健的益处。因此,文章概述了监狱中的心理健康问题,评估了瑜伽和冥想作为替代心理保健方法的潜在益处和机制,并探讨了将这些练习融入监狱保健的障碍。文章倡导将瑜伽和类似练习作为囚犯和监狱工作人员可行的替代心理保健方法。文章的分析为政策制定者、监狱管理人员、工作人员和学者提供了一个初步框架,帮助他们提高监狱设施的心理健康水平。

The current study used the job demands–resources model and survey data from prison officers in India in order to examine how workplace variables are associated with three job burnout dimensions of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced sense of work accomplishment. Job demands make the job more difficult and are generally linked to negative outcomes, while job resources make the job less difficult and are generally linked to positive outcomes. The job demands for the current study were role overload, routinization, and fear of being victimized at work, and the job resources were training views, instrumental communication, and job autonomy. Based on ordinary least squares regression results of surveys from 168 officers from a prison in the Haryana State of India, this study found that role overload was associated with higher levels of all three burnout dimensions, while routinization was only associated with higher levels of emotional exhaustion. Curiously, fear of victimization was associated with lower levels of depersonalization and reduced sense of work accomplishment. Instrumental communication was associated with lower levels of all three burnout dimensions, while training views and job autonomy had no significant effects on any burnout dimension.
本研究采用了工作需求-资源模型和印度监狱官员的调查数据,以研究工作场所变量如何与情绪衰竭、人格解体和工作成就感降低这三个工作倦怠维度相关联。工作要求增加了工作难度,通常与消极结果相关,而工作资源降低了工作难度,通常与积极结果相关。本研究中的工作需求是指角色超负荷、例行公事和害怕在工作中受到伤害,工作资源是指培训观点、工具性沟通和工作自主性。根据对印度哈里亚纳邦一所监狱的 168 名警官的普通最小二乘法回归结果,本研究发现,角色超负荷与所有三个倦怠维度的较高水平相关,而常规化只与较高水平的情感衰竭相关。奇怪的是,对受害的恐惧与较低的人格解体和工作成就感有关。工具性沟通与所有三个倦怠维度的较低水平相关,而培训观点和工作自主性对任何倦怠维度都没有显著影响。

Non-Fatal Strangulation: An Empirical Review of the New Offence in England and Wales 非致命性勒杀:对英格兰和威尔士新罪行的实证审查

Following the introduction of specific non-fatal strangulation (NFS) offences into law in a number of other jurisdictions over the last 20 years, England and Wales introduced a new offence of Non-Fatal Strangulation as part of the Domestic Abuse Act (2021) in 2022. Drawing on data provided by 32 forces, this article examines how the offence has been used in the first 14 months of operation. Specifically, we explored the victim and suspect characteristics, relationships and case outcomes of recorded incidents by police and the pipeline between recorded crime and prosecution. Our findings support the limited evidence on NFS in England and Wales, and Australia in finding that most victims are female and most suspects are male, typically victims and suspects are young-middle-aged adults, and most NFS is domestic in nature. We also found Black victims and suspects to be overrepresented. Whilst the data indicates the new offence is being routinely used by police, and charge rates compare well to other crimes, around 90% of recorded incidents are not resulting in a prosecution or conviction. We consider the implications of these findings for research and practice.
在过去 20 年中,其他一些司法管辖区将特定的非致命性勒颈罪(NFS)引入法律,英格兰和威尔士于 2022 年引入了新的非致命性勒颈罪,作为《家庭虐待法》(2021 年)的一部分。本文根据 32 支部队提供的数据,研究了该罪行在实施的前 14 个月中的使用情况。具体而言,我们探讨了警方记录在案的事件中受害者和嫌疑人的特征、关系和案件结果,以及记录在案的犯罪和起诉之间的联系。我们的研究结果支持英格兰、威尔士和澳大利亚有关非家庭性暴力犯罪的有限证据,发现大多数受害者是女性,大多数嫌疑人是男性,受害者和嫌疑人通常是中青年成年人,大多数非家庭性暴力犯罪是家庭性质的。我们还发现黑人受害者和嫌疑人所占比例过高。虽然数据表明警方经常使用新罪行,而且起诉率与其他罪行相比也很高,但约 90% 记录在案的事件并未导致起诉或定罪。我们考虑了这些调查结果对研究和实践的影响。

Finding a Compromise: A Criminal Law Defence for Regulating Medical Assistance in Dying 寻找妥协:规范临终医疗协助的刑法辩护
Pub Date : 2024-08-30 DOI: 10.1177/00220183241276996

The legal discourse surrounding euthanasia and assisted suicide continues to evolve, with a growing demand for comprehensive regulation. However, in England and Wales, assistance in dying remains prohibited. This article draws on criminal law theory to propose a compromising approach to cases of medical assistance in dying by creating a new criminal law defence. This defence will be available to a physician assisting a patient to die on the conditions of autonomy and beneficence. If this defence is successful, it will completely remove the physician's criminal liability.
围绕安乐死和协助自杀的法律讨论在继续发展,对全面监管的需求也在不断增长。然而,在英格兰和威尔士,临终协助仍被禁止。本文借鉴刑法理论,提出了一种折中的方法,即通过创建一种新的刑法辩护来处理医疗协助死亡案件。医生可在自主和有益的条件下为协助病人死亡的行为提供辩护。如果辩护成功,将完全免除医生的刑事责任。

The Harms of Imprisonment and Envisioning a Desistance-Supporting ‘Good Society’ 监禁的危害以及对支持戒毒的 "美好社会 "的设想
Pub Date : 2024-07-21 DOI: 10.1177/00220183241265188

Research evidence in the 21st century strongly indicates that prisons are inherently harmful environments in which to try to support rehabilitation, because of their destructive impact on identity, self-actualisation, mental health and social relationships. Yet HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) continues to propose that prisons can be legitimate sites of rehabilitation as well as centres of punishment. This article begins by interrogating this proposition by looking at research conducted in an adult male prison. By specifically focusing on the interpersonal conflicts and tensions that the men experience in their daily lives, the research highlights the ‘relational’ and ‘self-actualising’ harms that undermine the development of a successful rehabilitative culture within a prison. The article then moves on to consider a utopian vision of a ‘desistance-supporting’ rehabilitative ‘good society’ by drawing on a second piece of research that captures the voices and experiences of participants in a very successful community-based resettlement project. Lessons learned from this are then collated to consider how to build a rehabilitative ‘good society’ in prisons. The article concludes with a cautionary note about the possible difficulty of creating such a society in neoliberal times.
21 世纪的研究证据有力地表明,由于监狱对身份认同、自我实现、心理健康和社会关系具有破坏性影响,因此监狱本身就是一种有害的改造环境。然而,英国皇家监狱与缓刑犯监管局(HMPPS)仍然认为,监狱既可以是惩罚中心,也可以是合法的改造场所。本文首先通过对一所成年男子监狱的研究,对这一主张进行了质疑。通过特别关注男性在日常生活中经历的人际冲突和紧张关系,研究强调了 "关系 "和 "自我实现 "的危害,这些危害破坏了监狱内成功康复文化的发展。随后,文章借鉴了第二项研究成果,对 "支持戒毒 "的康复型 "美好社会 "的乌托邦愿景进行了思考,这项研究捕捉到了一个非常成功的社区重新安置项目参与者的心声和经历。然后整理从中汲取的经验教训,探讨如何在监狱中建立一个有利于康复的 "良好社会"。文章最后提出了在新自由主义时代建立这样一个社会可能存在的困难。

Vulnerability Through a Legal Lens: A Comparative Jurisdictional Analysis of the Law of Confessions and Vulnerable Suspects 从法律角度看易受攻击性:关于口供和易受害疑犯的法律的法域比较分析
Pub Date : 2024-06-03 DOI: 10.1177/00220183241256739

This article considers the law of confessions in England and the United States of America Supreme Court's Fourteenth amendment cases, with a focus on suspects who are vulnerable. The question that is asked in the piece of work is whether the English statutory provisions and the decisions of the US Supreme Court provide sufficient protection to vulnerable suspects who falsely confess to crimes. A novel approach is adopted with this comparative analysis as it extends the knowledge base by examining vulnerability and the law of confessions within two jurisdictional parameters. A further contribution to knowledge can be seen as the paper provides a bespoke piece of legislation that affords protection to such individuals, and thereby adds to the current debate on vulnerability in the criminal justice system. Firstly, the work critically examine why vulnerable suspects will falsely confess to criminal acts. It will be established that vulnerable suspects may confess even if they have not been coerced, and this will be the foundational basis for the suggested reform: a vulnerable suspects confession should be excluded as a result of their characteristics or that such individuals should be provided with mandatory legal advice. The focus will then turn to the extant position in England, where it will be revealed that confessions will be excluded if they have been obtained by unfair practices or through inhumane or degrading treatment. It will also be recognised that the English jurisdiction affords limited protection to vulnerable suspects even though they are entitled to legal advice and an appropriate adult being present. The US Supreme Court's position will then be evaluated by chronologically critiquing the use of the due process clause in cases of confessions. It will be identified that the vulnerability of the individual can be considered in determining whether a confession should be excluded but cannot be utilised in isolation of other factors. The two jurisdictions will then be critically compared and the positive and negative aspects of the law in the jurisdictions will be evaluated. It will be established that neither England nor the US Supreme provides sufficient protection to vulnerable suspects and the law requires further refinement, by placing priority on mandatory legal advice and/or an opportunity to exclude the confession. A de novo remedial statutory provision for England is provided as an effective solution to the issue of vulnerability and false confessions.
本 文 探 討 英 格 蘭 的 供 認 法 和 美 利 堅 合 眾 國 最 高 法 院 第 十 四 項 修 正 案 的 案 例 , 重 點 在 於 易 受 傷 害 的 受 疑 人 。本文提出的问题是,英国的法律规定和美国最高法院的判决是否为虚假认罪的弱势嫌疑人提供了足够的保护。这项比较分析采用了一种新颖的方法,因为它通过在两个司法管辖区范围内审查易受攻击性和供述法,扩展了知识库。由于本文提供了一项为此类人员提供保护的定制立法,从而为当前关于刑事司法系统中的易受伤害性的辩论增添了新的内容,因此可以看出本文对知识的进一步贡献。首先,这项工作批判性地研究了易受伤害的嫌疑人为何会虚假供认犯罪行为。这将成为所建议的改革的基础:弱势嫌疑人的供述应因其特征而被排除在外,或者应为此类人员提供强制性法律咨询。然 後 , 重 點 會 轉 移 到 英 格 蘭 的 現 行 情 況 , 英 格 蘭 的 情 況 會 顯 示 , 如 果 供 認 是 以 不 公 帄 手 法 或 以 不 人 道 或 有 辱 人 格 的 待 遇 取 得 , 供 認 便 會 被 豁 除 。英 格 蘭 的 司 法 管 轄 區 對 易 受 傷 害 的 受 疑 人 所 提 供 的 保 護 是 有 限 的 , 即 使 受 疑 人 有 權 獲 得 法 律 諮 詢 , 並 且 有 適 當 的 成 年 人 在 場 。然 後 , 美 國 最 高 法 院 的 立 場 會 按 照 時 序 評 論 適 當 程 序 條 款 在 供 認 案 件 中 的 運 用 , 從 而 加 以 評 估 。在 決 定 供 認 是 否 應 予 豁 除 之 時 , 個 人 的 弱 點 是 可 以 考 慮 的 , 但 卻 不 能 與 其 他 因 素 分 開 處 理 。然 後 會 對 兩 個 司 法 管 轄 區 作 出 嚴 謹 的 比 較 , 並 會 對 兩 個 司 法 管 轄 區 的 法 律 的 正 反 兩 方 陎 作 出 評 估 。這 樣 便 可 確 定 英 格 蘭 和 美 國 的 最 高 法 院 均 未 能 為 易 受 傷 害 的 受 疑 人 提 供 足 夠 的 保 護 , 而 法 律 也 需 要 進 一 步 完 善 , 把 強 制 性 的 法 律 諮 詢 及 / 或 豁 除 供 認 的 機 會 列 為 優 先 考 慮 的 因 素 。我 們 會 為 英 格 蘭 提 供 一 項 重 新 制 定 的 補 救 性 法 律 條 文 , 作 為 有 效 解 決 易 受 傷 害 的 受 疑 人 和 虛 假 供 認 這 兩 個 問 題 的 方 法 。

A de novo remedial statutory provision for England is provided as an effective solution to the issue of vulnerability and false confessions.","PeriodicalId":501562,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Criminal Law","volume":"37 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141270080","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}

Post-acquittal retrials for substantially the same offence are possible in jurisdictions that have provided statutory modifications to the common law double jeopardy principle. The pleas in bar of prosecution, autrefois acquit (previously acquitted) and autrefois convict (previously convicted), are predicated on a final verdict of acquittal or conviction by a court of competent criminal jurisdiction for substantially the same offence. Differentiating similarities between the increasing volume of overlapping offences is the most litigated aspect of the double jeopardy principle. Seminal common law jurisdictions have adopted variations of the same elements approach that examines whether two or more offences arising out of the same prohibited conduct are the same based on an assessment of whether there is an element in one offence not in the comparable offence. Through doctrinal analysis of superior court jurisprudence in the Unites States, England and Wales, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, this article evaluates judicial formulations for determining the sameness of offences in comparative perspective. While the analysis is intrinsic to each jurisdiction, judicial formulations may nonetheless shed light on similar issues coming before courts of criminal justice in cognate jurisdictions.
在对普通法一罪不二审原则做出法定修改的司法管辖区,可以在判决后对实质上相同的罪行进行重审。禁止起诉的抗辩、autrefois acquit(以前被宣告无罪)和autrefois convict(以前被定罪)都是以有刑事管辖权的法院对实质上相同的罪行做出无罪或有罪的最终判决为前提的。区分越来越多的重叠罪行之间的相似性是双重危险原则中诉讼最多的方面。著名的普通法司法管辖区采用了相同要素方法的变体,该方法根据对一项罪行中是否存在可比罪行中不存在的要素的评估,来审查由相同被禁止行为引起的两项或多项罪行是否相同。通过对美国、英格兰和威尔士、加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰高等法院判例的理论分析,本文从比较的角度评估了确定罪行同一性的司法表述。虽然分析是每个司法管辖区固有的,但司法表述可能会对同类司法管辖区刑事司法法院面临的类似问题有所启示。
