El modelo criminológico de evaluación e intervención para menores en conflicto con la ley/The criminological model of assessment and intervention for…

Los países occidentales han experimentado en las cuatro últimas décadas una inclinación hacia modelos de justicia más reactivos, punitivos o retribucionistas (Garland, 2005; Giménez y Alba, 2014). Ha sido especialmente dentro del ámbito anglosajón (Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña) donde esta nueva cultura del delito ha sido más destacable (Ashworth, 2005; Fernández-Molina, 2008). Europa, sin embargo, ha sabido resistirse a esta tendencia punitiva, intentando mantener un precario equilibrio entre los modelos propiamente retribucionistas y las políticas de bienestar. Por su parte, en Latinoamérica, en un intento por suavizar esta corriente punitiva, en la última década se ha evolucionado hacia …
Antimafia e movimenti delle donne. Protagoniste, culture, linguaggi
2016
Il saggio analizza il ruolo giocato dalle donne nei movimenti antimafia a partire dalla loro presenza –cospicua e importante – all’interno dei Fasci dei lavoratori in Sicilia alla fine dell’800 fino alle esperienze del Comitato dei Lenzuoli e dell’Associazione donne per il digiuno nate a Palermo all’indomani delle stragi di Capaci e di via D’Amelio, in cui le figure femminili hanno svolto un ruolo di primo piano sperimentando forme espressive e di mobilitazione civile alternative ed efficaci. L’approccio scelto per l’analisi incrocia gli studi sulla mafia come sistema di potere violento e totalitario con la relazione tra i sessi, intesa come scontro di poteri, in cui svolge un peso determin…
The ECHR Condemns Prison Overcrowding in Italy: The Total Reorganization of the Institution and the Social Reintegration of the Prisoner
2017
The contribution analyses the current Italian prison system, which has been called upon on to resolve its structural problems. The Council of Europe, in fact, in 2013 condemned Italy for inhuman treatment in its prisons. The principal accusation concerns the problem of overcrowding. The country has responded with solutions such as the application of the open system, which provides cells solely for overnight stays, and dynamic monitoring, an effective system for ensuring order in the institutions. These initiatives aim to promote re-educational activities and the social re-integration of prisoners. In addition, Italian institutions have made greater use of alternatives to custodial penalties…
Conceptualising Violence in Close Relationships : Discrepancies Between Police Conceptions and the Letter of the Law in Finland
2020
AbstractThe focus in this Finland-based study is on violence in close relationships—a term that partly overlaps with the more commonly used ‘domestic violence’, ‘family violence’ and ‘intimate partner violence’. We demonstrate how police officers’ conceptualisations of such violence differ from how it is defined in relevant legal documents. The data consists of the Government Bill and legal text on the subject issued as part of a legal reform enacted in 2010, and of a qualitative sample of freelist responses from 79 police officers. We examined both sets of data using theory-driven directed content analysis and deriving from prevailing theoretical frameworks reflecting the family- and gende…
A systematic literature review of the transition to the circular economy in business organizations: Obstacles, catalysts and ambivalences
2021
There is a need for a transition from unsustainable linear business models to a more sustainable circular approach, called the circular economy. To promote this need, a deeper understanding of which issues hinder organizations’ transition to the circular economy and which ones catalyse it is needed. A systematic literature review was performed on the business implementation of the circular economy and 69 articles covering the topic were found. The review identifies different types of catalyst, obstacles and ambivalent factors influencing circular economy implementation in business. This study contributes to research on circular economy implementation at business organizations by providing u…
Donne autrici o vittime di reato? Un’indagine sull’efficacia delle misure alternative nei percorsi di recupero delle detenute nel contesto agrigentino
2015
Nel senso comune la pena detentiva e considerata un elemento inevitabile della so¬cieta contemporanea. Essa continua ad essere percepita nell’immaginario collettivo come uno strumento di segregazione per coloro che sono riconosciuti colpevoli di particolari reati. I principi classici della prontezza, proporzionalita, infallibilita e dolcezza della pena non si identificano oggi esclusivamente con un edificio – la prigione – ma, sempre piu di frequente, con strumenti alternativi e piu efficaci per il recupero e la risocializzazione del soggetto. Proprio in questi decenni in cui l’intreccio fra poverta, penalita ed esclusione sociale diviene sempre piu evidente, l’afflizione a cui il singolo e…
From art after Auschwitz towards a sociology of disrespect of Buchenwald
2017
The aesthetic works of the Frankfurt School receive little attention by contemporary sociology. However, the article shows the relevance of aesthetic theory for a critical understanding of the social world. Therefore, we introduce the contradictions presented by critical theory of society especially after Auschwitz and we ask ourselves about how to conceive the inconceivable when the tools of Enlightenment are intrinsically guilty. Finally, we propose a mosaic of aesthetic sociology of disrespect as an option to overcome the paradoxes of Auschwitz. This procedure is related to the artistic production around the concentration camp of Buchenwald.
To Eat or Not to Eat? A Short Path from Vegetarianism to Cannibalism
2018
Subjective reasoning and chemical composition are not the sole arbiters of our systems of alimentary taste; consumption of food is also defined by cultural orientation and other complex value systems. There are those who choose to consume only plant matter to respect the rights of animals, equally there are those who consume pets without a second thought. What informs these choices depends on how we understand our own place in the world, the values we attribute to the things that surrounds us, the relationships we maintain with our fellow beings and those with living things in general. It is in the space between those variable definitions that we find food taboos and the complex stories whi…
El derecho a morir dignamente: una oportunidad para el impulso ético del Trabajo Social
2021
La creciente importancia de las enfermedades crónicas como causa de muerte y la atención que actualmente se presta al final de la vida han creado interés en el papel de las disciplinas sociosanitarias en el momento y el modo de muerte. En la actualidad, pocos países han legalizado o despenalizado la eutanasia y el suicidio asistido. Este artículo realiza una revisión narrativa con el objetivo de conocer los aspectos éticos y jurídicos que envuelven el derecho a morir dignamente, el suicidio asistido y la eutanasia en los países donde se han regulado estas prácticas, así como su vinculación con los principios éticos inherentes al Trabajo Social. Los resultados muestran que estas prácticas de…
Homophobic Conduct as Normative Masculinity Test
2020
Homophobic violence can be considered as an expressive act. Violent behavior can be considered as anti-homosexual when victims are chosen because they are considered or perceived as homosexual. Following this reasoning, hate crimes as homophobic crimes have a communicative value, since they represent a range of “masculinization” practices within the processes of gender socialization, both in conventional and illegitimate social worlds. Every homophobic act aims to intimidate not just the victim, but the whole group associated with the, whether concretely or merely in the perception of the perpetrator. This chapter will take into account the main research on victimization from an internation…
