Abstract

The present review article is an attempt to analyse a well-determined interval of an internationally accredited Russian regional periodical: Vestnik of Volgograd State University. Series 4. History, Regional Studies and International Relations. The history of the periodical, which is devoted to a broad range of social sciences, is remarkably can be divided into two stages: after 2013 it became a nationwide journal. The periodical's restructuring was initiated by former chief editor I. I. Kurilla, but it was finished by current chief editor I. O. Tyumentsev, who developed the journal to an international level inter alia with the help of thematic issues, such as the Byzantine project or the conference materials dedicated to the 400 th anniversary of the Troubled Times.Despite the above-mentioned successes, the statistical analysis of the data denotes some structural characteristics of competing scientific life in Russia. E.g. the distribution of the authors' gender indicates a more and more patriarchal pattern, while the scientific degree of them shows a growing elitization.Also the analysis of the authors' affiliation (city) points to a quite centralised structure of science. The progression of the headings shows a massive shift toward historical sciences (Russian history, World history, archaeology) to the detriment of other social sciences (political science, regional studies, international relations), which indicates the most competitive fields of the periodical.The application of keywords represents a huge diversity, although they help us to determine main issues, or so called "hot topics". In the field of Russian history this "hot topic" is the Great Patriotic War, since Volgograd (Stalingrad) was a main battlefield during these challenging years.

The role of Christian faith in the reintegration of female prisoners

“…Reintegration may take longer time after release (Albert & Biró, 2015). Judit Szabó's (2012) study draws attention to the conceptual confusion in Hungary, which also points out that the use of psychological tools of tertiary prevention is not common practice in the Hungarian prison system. Tertiary prevention aims exactly at preventing re-offending.…”

“…Since the 1970s, research into the effectiveness of rehabilitation programmes and schemes has evolved methodologically, with more sophisticated analyses (Borbíró, 2010). Research is constantly looking for answers to the question of which methods and programmes are effective in terms of recidivism, under which circumstances and for which groups of criminals (Szabó, 2012). Since the 1990s, based on comparative analyses, some programmes have gained prominence for their effectiveness, for example the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) Anglo-Saxon model (Borbíró, 2010;Szabó, 2012).…”

Since the 1990s, based on comparative analyses, some programmes have gained prominence for their effectiveness, for example the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) Anglo-Saxon model (Borbíró, 2010;Szabó, 2012). As the name suggests, the risk principle determines who should be treated, the needs principle emphasises what, and the responsiveness principle emphasises how.…”

“…It considers methods based on a cognitive behavioural approach to behaviour change to be the most appropriate. It uses psychological measures to assess risk and needs, and then a professional develops a treatment plan based on the principles of the model (White & Graham, 2010;Szabó, 2012). The effectiveness of the programme lies in its focus on answering structured, complex questions, developing skills, and using cognitive behavioural techniques (MacKenzie, 2000).…”

“…It is also characterised by its voluntary nature, its focus on the offender's criminality-related capacity to influence, and its implementation based on the integrity of the process and the activities of the participants. Judit Szabó (2012), based on Hollin (1999), describes the treatment effectiveness criteria found in the international literature:…”
