Postrzeganie i respektowanie norm społecznych przez młodzież w okresie adolescencji

Author(s): Daria Sikorska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2015

The paper discusses the perception and observance of social norms by adolescent youth. The research was conducted with the diagnostic survey method, among pupils and students of three schooling levels: primary, lower-secondary and upper secondary schools. Subjects associated the notion of “social norms” mainly with the obligation to behave in a certain way, with prohibitions, common customs and orders. Legal and moral norms were considered as the most vital, while minor importance was given to manners, traditions or religious norms. The latter had a low connotation for subjects. Nearly half of them showed the knowledge of social norms, and declared that they strive to abide by them in their everyday life. For adolescence, the main push factors to violate social norms are the need to impress and to follow peer behavior or the defective socialization process. The isolation in the peer group and the loss of respect are considered by adolescents as the most serious consequences of social norm violations.

Norma społeczno-kulturowa/prawna (art. 207 k.k.) versus patologiczne normy społeczno-kulturowe w komunikacji społecznej

Author(s): Leszek J. Świeca / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2015

In the light of the theoretical norm, the obligation to comply with a social-cultural/legal norm, enshrined in Article 207 of the Criminal Code, vital for the family, seems to be undisputable. Our empirical research shows that some of social and cultural norms commonly relied on in dysfunctional families are violated and that they most probably come from pathological social groups or from the whole social-cultural systems. Pathological norms allow for the violation of codified legal and moral norms, as evidenced, among all, by the consent to the use of violence against women and children (if the perpetrator is able to provide reasons for the use of violence, and such reasons stay within the pathological norm, shared by the community in question).

Analýza ukládání peněžitých trestů v podobě denních pokut v České republice

Author(s): Jakub Drápal / Language(s): Czech Issue: 2/2016

In 2010 the pecuniary punishment started to be defined in the form of day fines. So far, however, no analysis of its functionality has been made. The aim of the article is to find out if the new concept works in reality or if it stays only on the paper. The results of author´s research suggest that the concept of day fines does not function well in the Czech Republic. Even though richer offenders get slightly higher pecuniary punishments (and higher day fines) in absolute numbers, they receive relatively lower punishments than poorer offenders. It seems that the concept of day fines does not work either in the proportion of one day fine to the wealth of an offender or in the proportion of the number of day fines to the seriousness of an offense. Several partial results such as differences in sentencing between male and female judges or their opinions about day fines are discussed as well.

However, due to the specific characteristics which carries, there are many difficulties and uncertainties in the prevention and suppression of this criminal phenomenon.

„W tobie jest źródło życia i w twej światłości [...] światłość” Wiara i religia  w perspektywie resocjalizacji skazanych

Author(s): Anna Panek,Elżbieta Panek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 31-32/2016

The paper intends to take a broader perspective on the issue of religion in the life and rehabilitation of individuals sentenced to the penalty of imprisonment. It discusses the importance of faith and (mainly Christian) religion and religious practices in the specific context of incarceration, as well as the role of prison pastoral care and correctional volunteering, with some major references to the findings of the thematic empirical work. Moreover, the paper calls for a more in-depth (both empirical and theoretical) analysis of the effectiveness of religiously motivated rehabilitation, without any attempts at its idealization or depreciation. Excerpts from a prison diary - selected as meaningful parts of the paper (in order to outline, among all, the importance of the convicts’ conversions) - are not intended to stun the reader with their emotional message. They are rather testimonials of the life of individuals, in their own flesh and blood, and as such send a powerful message for others. The rest is just about the faith and the will of individual readers and their interpretations. As for things of importance, sometimes suffice is to tell about them (with no references to doctrinal interpretations and paradigms or without establishing any ad hoc scientific constructs). That approach proves that the author’s intent goes far beyond the accurate reporting, disentangled from personal and self-construed messages. Universal clues for choosing between the good and the evil just do not exist. But steps are being taken to save others from the effect of the evil. Prison constitutes a peculiar space of existence where human life can both come to its end or have a new beginning.

Author(s): Anna Karłyk-Ćwik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 31-32/2016

Reflections and research on humor in socially maladjusted youth based on the concept of resilience are driven by an urgent need to redefine Polish crisis-ridden resocialization/rehabilitation system by embracing rehabilitative theories and practices inspired by new frameworks and ensuing modern intervention models. The paper presents some thoughts in this respect with an aim of encouraging rehabilitation researchers, theoreticians and practitioners to deal with humor as a “site of resistance” that offers juveniles the springboard for achieving expected levels of social adjustment. It outlines the theoretical framework of adaptation and creative functions of humor in the context of resocialization process. These rely on two concepts of positive psychology, i.e. the concept of resilience and the concept of humor styles.

Установе за извршење мере безбедности - обавезно психијатријско лечење и чување у здравственој установи

Author(s): Darko Dimovski,Miomira P. Kostić,Ivan D. Milić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 4/2016

Compulsory psychiatric treatment and confinement in a medical institution is one of the security measures that may be ordered for the offender in the criminal procedure and it is also the only criminal sanction of indefinite length. After the sentence is pronounced the execution of the measure follows. The execution of criminal sanctions is regulated by the Law on Execution of Criminal Sanctions, which remains vague in regard to this measure. The authors of this work attempt to find an answer to the seemingly simple but in fact very complicated question: where is this measure to be executed?

Rola programów edukacyjno-korekcyjnych w kształtowaniu postaw i przekonań skazanych sprawców przemocy domowej

Author(s): Anna Witkowska-Paleń / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

The battered intervention programs are an important part of the system of preventing domestic violence. The main purpose of them is that the violence should stop and eliminate. These programs are related to correcting defective attitudes and beliefs of perpetrators that support or excuse violence towards family members. Many studies have shown relatively low effectiveness of these programs however, they have not provided clear evidence of their ineffectiveness. The aim of this article is an attempt to answer the question: Do such programs actually shape the attitudes and beliefs of perpetrators of domestic violence? The author has analysed the data of the survey which was carried out in nine prisons in the Podkarpackie Voivodship. The sample consisted of 277 convicted perpetrators of domestic violence. They were made up of 133 men who have completed the batterer intervention programs (experimental group) and 144 men who have never participated in them (control group). Studies have shown there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of perpetrators. Their attitudes and beliefs about their own violent behaviours in family were relatively similar.

Life imprisonment without parole: Results of a longitudinal study in Hungary

Author(s): Agnes Solt / Language(s): English Issue: XLVI/2024

The main goal of the study was to raise questions concerning life sentences and to demon-strate how it evolves and impacts the criminal, who is cast out from society and incarcerated fordecades. The data collection phase of this qualitative longitudinal research spanned ten years, fromMarch 2011 to December 2020. The narrative interviews were analyzed using content analysis. Theprison system has the potential to facilitate both personality development and changes in mental-ity, but it can also hinder them. The legal institution of a life sentence without parole excludes thepossibility of making positive changes in the convict’s mindset and does not take into account thechance for the inmates’ personality to develop during their long sentences. The legal institution ofa life sentence, due to the exclusion of the possibility of review, could only be considered a rationalinstitution in case of an infallible investigative and judicial system.

Indonesia in the Face of the Death Penalty – Hopes Versus Reality

Author(s): Maria Ochwat / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2025

The right to life, without a doubt, is the most essential right of every human being. Protection and respect for this right is a prerequisite for enjoying and realizing other rights guaranteed to the individual. However, it is not an absolute right, but one that, under various circumstances, can be restricted. One such restriction is the death penalty. Many countries have decided to abolish it; however, only three countries in Southeast Asia, namely Cambodia, the Philippines, and East Timor, have decided. While Indonesia guarantees the right to life, it does allow the death penalty. Although the death penalty has not been carried out for several years, the death penalty has been retained in the criminal code, and courts continue to award it. The public (especially the young) is increasingly advocating its complete abolition, but those in power do not seem interested. The death penalty is also left in the new criminal code. This article is about the death penalty in Indonesia. The author also decided to survey Indonesian students to find out their attitudes toward the death penalty.

CZY NARUSZENIE OBOWIĄZKÓW ZWIĄZANYCH Z ODBYWANIEM KARY POZBAWIENIA WOLNOŚCI W SYSTEMIE DOZORU ELEKTRONICZNEGO STANOWI ODRĘBNE PRZESTĘPSTWO?

Author(s): Kacper Przysada / Language(s): Polish Issue: 132/2024

Background: The subject of the research of this paper is an attempt to answer the question of therealization of the criminal act typeʼs elements by a convict who violates the obligations associatedwith serving a sentence of imprisonment under the electronic surveillance system. The articlefocuses on the analysis of the elements of the types of criminal acts described in Article 242 § 1and Article 244 of the Polish Criminal Code.Research purpose: The purpose of the research is to interpret the elements of certain typesof criminal acts and to determine whether there are grounds for assuming criminal liability of a convict who does not fulfill the obligations imposed on him by the penitentiary court, in thecase of granting permission to serve a sentence of imprisonment under the electronic surveillancesystem.Methods: The work uses a dogmatic-legal method involving analysis of the legal norms containedin the Polish Criminal Code, as well as a theoretical-legal method (analysis of commentaries,monographs, articles, case law) and, to the extent necessary, a historical-legal method.Conclusions: The behavior involving the violation of the obligation to remain in the placeindicated by the court or the penitentiary commission at the appointed time by a person servinga sentence of imprisonment under the electronic surveillance system should not be qualified asthe realization of the offense of self-liberation under Article 242 § 1 of the Polish Criminal Code.Such behavior meets the requirements of the type of criminal act described in Article 244 of theCriminal Code. However, this solution would lead to the assumption that such an act is subjectto an even higher criminal sanction than in the case of the offense of self-liberation, which couldmean an unjustified differentiation of the criminal sanction from that provided for in Article 244a§ 2 of the Criminal Code.
