“…Taken together, these results are empirically remarkable. It appears that belief in redeemability predicts opinions on virtually every correctional policy—whether that is punitive or rehabilitative or whether the survey probes general ideology or specific policy proposals (see also Dodd, 2018; Moss et al, 2019; Ouellette et al, 2017; Reich, 2017).…”

In 2009, Maruna and King presented results from a British survey showing that the public’s belief in the redeemability of people who committed offenses curbed their level of punitiveness. Based on a 2017 national survey in the United States ( n = 1,000), the current study confirms that redeemability is negatively related to punitive attitudes. In addition, the analyses reveal that this belief predicts support for rehabilitation and specific inclusionary policies (i.e., ban-the-box in employment, expungement of criminal records, and voting rights for people with a felony conviction). Findings regarding measures for punishment and rehabilitation were confirmed by a 2019 Mechanical Turk (MTurk) survey. These results suggest that beliefs about capacity for change among people who committed offenses are key to understanding crime-control public policy.

“…Most of the punitive punishment covered by those bylaws have only consisted of cunning and imprisonment, without considering social working as a punishment. In contrast, some Muslim countries have implemented restorative justice as a part of the punishment (Gade, 2018;Moss et al, 2018;Scheuerman, 2018). Restorative justice has recognized publicly as a method of the justice system to form a conciliation between the victim and the offender.…”

<p>This article investigated the corporal punishment through judicial caning in Aceh, Indonesia. The judicial caning is conducted publicly and easily watched by the crowd, including children. This article aimed to search the facts that occurred during the implementation of judicial canning in Aceh. This study employed a qualitative method, with the interview as the main instrument and also used the black-letter law as a supporting approach. The research finding showed that public caning does not guarantee a deterrent effect on the defendants. In some cases, such as gambling and drinking, some of them will potentially repeat the same cases the following years, because the law concerning gambling and drinking does not accommodate rehabilitation mechanism. Furthermore, children attending the canning process will likely imitate the process in their future life. This research has a clear novelty as publication related to judicial caning is still limited in research and articles regarding the Indonesian legal system.</p>

“…The authors of this article want to express their opinion contrary to these restrictive considerations. In the advanced societies of the 21st century, it is certainly anachronistic to continue to attribute to prison sentences primarily punitive purposes, instead of those of rehabilitation and social reintegration, particularly for nonviolent offenders (Atkin-Plunk, 2020;Moss et al, 2018). For that, the measures of approaching ex-offenders to their family and social context have proven to be a critical factor (Cullen, 2007;Duwe & Clark, 2017;Martín et al, 2019;Redondo, 2017).…”

This paper analyzes the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on corrections and crime in the southern region of Europe formed by Spain and Portugal. The main mechanisms of transmission of Covid-19 are the physical proximity between people and the fact of sharing eventually infected targets. In prisons and other correctional contexts people live in close proximity and share the same facilities. As a result, the correctional context has proven to be a critical "hot spot" for the transmission of the Covid-19 pandemic in inmates and correctional staff. First, the magnitude of the infection and their associated health and psychosocial problems (prison incidents, social isolation.. .) are described. Second, the main sanitary, social, and correctional measures applied to prevent contagion and their related damages are presented (lockdown, use of communication technologies with families, etc.). Third, it is analyzed whether there has been a relationship between the confinement caused by the pandemic and the crime rates observed in Spain and Portugal during this same period. Finally, from the impact in corrections of pandemic and the actions taken to fight it, several important lessons are derived for the future improvement of correctional systems.
