John H. Laub and Robert J. Sampson;  Understanding Desistance from Crime

a b s t r a c t
The study of desistance from crime is hampered by definitional, measurement, and theoretical incoherence. A unifying framework can distinguish termination of offending from the process of desistance. Termination is the point when criminal activity stops and desistance is the underlying causal process. A small number of factors are sturdy correlates of desistance (e.g., good marriages, stable work, transformation of identity, and aging). The processes of desistance from crime and other forms of problem behavior appear to be similar. Several theoretical frameworks can be employed to explain the process of desistance, including maturation and aging, developmental, life-course, rational choice, and social learning theories. A life-course perspective provides the most compelling framework, and it can be used to identify institutional sources of desistance and the dynamic social processes inherent in stopping crime.

David R. Dow (2012) Leçons apprises des détenus qui attendent d’être exécuté

David R. Dow on TED Talks (fevrier 2012) Leçons apprises des détenus qui attendent d’être exécuté

« It’s not yet too late [for juvenile delinquents]. There’s still time to nudge them, if we think about nudging them rather than just punishing them.” (David R. Dow)

Que se passe-t-il avant un meutre ? En cherchant des façons de réduire les cas de peine de mort, David R. Dow s’est rendu compte qu’un nombre surprenant de détenus dans le couloir de la mort avaient des biographies similaires. Dans son intervention, il propose un plan audacieux, qui commence par empêcher que les meutres soient commis. (Filmé à TEDxAustin.)

David R. Dow has defended over 100 death row inmates in 20 years.

Prison Review Team (2011) (IR) Review of the Northern Ireland Prison Service Conditions, management and oversight of all prisons

Prison Review Team (2011) (IR) Review of the Northern Ireland Prison Service Conditions, management and oversight of all prisons

Summary
An effective prison system, capable of reducing crime, is crucial to creating a safer society in Northern Ireland, and this report begins by describing what such a system would look like and why. It also sets out the crucial role of other departments and civil society, with some innovative examples of multi-agency work that need to be supported and extended. The interim report in February identified significant and long-lasting problems in the  Northern Ireland Prison Service and called for a programme of change and transformation of culture, approach and working practices. Yet little has changed in practice in the succeeding eight months, despite the launch of the Strategic Efficiency and Effectiveness programme, a new sense of purpose at the top of the service, and support from the Justice Minister. The endemic and systemic problems identified in the interim report remain unresolved, and public money is being wasted. Incremental improvements are not enough, and there needs to be a determined cross-party approach to driving through the whole package of change. This is a unique opportunity to create a public sector prison system that is a model of excellence. It should not be wasted. Though the transformation will take time to complete, the next six months will be crucial.

 Exemples de recommandations: 

Recommendation 29
Accurate data should be collected about prisoners’ needs and risks in all three prisons, as a basis for planning and commissioning
services.

Recommendation 30
Each prisoner should have a personalised custody or sentence plan, developed together with him or her, which reflects his or her own needs, strengths and risks. It should identify and engage all the other agencies and disciplines within and outside prison that are needed to support change.

Recommendation 33
The desistance strategy developed in NIPS must involve partnership with and support for families and community organisations to build social capital and prevent social exclusion, drawing upon and extending existing initiatives and experience.

Jim Fallon (2009) Exploration de l’esprit d’un meutrier

TED TALKS; Jim Fallon (2009) Exploration de l’esprit d’un meutrier

Les tueurs psychopathes sont la base de programmes télévisés incontournables, mais qu’est-ce qui les fait basculer? Le spécialiste des neurosciences Jim Fallon parle de scanners de cerveaux et d’analyse génétique qui pourraient révéler les connections pourries dans l’inné (et l’acquis) des meurtriers. Il partage avec nous un histoire familiale fascinante qui rend son travail à la fois personnel et effrayant, par un coup du sort trop étrange pour être de la fiction.

Sloan Scholar, Fulbright Fellow, Professor Emeritus of Neuroscience, Jim Fallon looks at the way nature and nurture intermingle to wire up the human brain.
