“…However, these reviews focused on prison population in general, not specifying the prevalence within those awaiting trial. Recent work has already underlined the gap in the literature regarding remand imprisonment within penal theories (Kavur 2021). Besides, according to the existent research, RP are typically more problematic, and their needs are usually different from SP (HM Inspectorate of Prisons 2012).…”

Remand prisoners (RP) are non-sentenced individuals who must be held in prison awaiting sentencing. The international data reported that up to a third of the detainees worldwide are in a pre-trial situation. The present systematic review aims to review the studies that assessed the remand prisoners' mental problems during detention. Following the PICO strategy, the search identified a total of 5427 studies, of which, 79 studies were included in the final analysis. Substance use disorders were the most reported problem, followed by mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and personality and behavior disorders. A smaller number of studies reported anxiety and neurotic disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder and adjustment disorders, intellectual disorders, paraphilias and sexual disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and somatoform disorders. Our findings contribute to the scientific knowledge about this group of inmates' needs, emphasizing the prevalence of mental problems within this population and supporting both professionals and academics to reform policies and practices.

“…I also conducted interviews with 50 young prisoners in six different prisons. Since the main discussion in this article is around the management of the youth justice system and occupational issues, prisoners’ narratives are not considered in this article, but elsewhere (Kavur, 2021). Informed consent was obtained in all interviews.…”

“…Between 2014 and 2015, I conducted fieldwork to understand how high-security remand imprisonment has attained such a central position and what role(s) it performs in the youth justice system. The results related to this particular question have been published elsewhere (Kavur, 2021). The operation of the whole youth justice system has been studied in order to situate remand prisons within this system.…”

Since the early 2000s, Turkey’s youth justice system has undergone extensive reforms. However, it is centred around high-security remand imprisonment. Based on the research conducted between 2014 and 2015 to comprehend how high-security remand imprisonment has acquired such a central role, this article provides an analysis on the ways in which the system has diverted into a peculiar ‘managerialism’. Certain themes emerged revealing the turn to ‘managerialism’: (1) lack of coordination between different professional units and lack of evidence-based policymaking, (2) prioritization of speed and technology, (3) peripheral role of social work officials and (4) the importance of prisons.

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the need to establish the genesis of legal regulation of the defence lawyer’s involvement in criminal proceedings against minors, to identify correlations of this process with the regulation of legal activity in Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to investigate the history of legal regulation of the involvement of a defence lawyer in criminal proceedings against minors. The study used a set of scientific methods: historical, historiographic, terminological, system-structural, formal-logical, and comparative-legal. It was established that the origin of the institute of protection of the parties in legal proceedings begins in the times of Kyivan Rus with the established practice of speeches in court by “good people” who represented the plaintiff and the defendant. It was proved that the development of the institute of protection of minors in court took place in parallel and in close connection with the development of judicial representation and sureties. Based on the analysis of international acts in the field of criminal justice against children ratified by Ukraine, the need to introduce juvenile specialisation of defenders was indicated. Stages of development of legal regulation of the defender’s involvement in criminal proceedings against minors: stage 1 – 1016-1529; stage 2 – 1529-1864; stage 3 – 1864-1917; stage 4 – 1917-1991; stage 5 – from 1991 to the present. The emergence of protection of the rights of minors in court was accompanied by the establishment of a regulatory condition for the involvement of a defender in the process on a gratuitous basis for certain categories of children. At the present stage, the law enforcement process embodies the principles and guarantees of involvement of a defender in criminal proceedings against minors, which are provided for by international treaties in the field of protection of children’s rights ratified by Ukraine. The proposed predictive trends in the development of legal regulation of the involvement of a defender in criminal proceedings allow law enforcement agencies to plan their practical activities in the interaction with human rights organisations, take coordination measures between juvenile prevention bodies of the national police, investigators and prosecutors specialising in the investigation of juvenile delinquency, juvenile judges and lawyers for effective compliance with international standards for the protection of the rights of children in conflict with the law.
