Links between adverse childhood experiences, psychopathological symptoms and recidivism risk in juvenile delinquents
2020
Research in the field of developmental psycho-criminology shows that conduct disorders and deviant behaviours are frequently associated with traumatic and adverse developmental experiences. Personality traits and psychopathological symptoms also increase the risk of criminality. However, the role of psychopathological symptoms in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and offending has rarely been researched. The present study was designed to throw further light on these issues by analysing risk factors in a group of adolescents and young adults in a juvenile detention centre in southern Italy. Results support the idea that the accumulation of risk factors is a major factor…
Qu’est-ce qu’un conte pour enfant ? Les Casse-noisette de Hoffmann et Dumas
2019
Le conte Casse-noisette et le Roi des Rats de Hoffmann paraît initialement dans Les Frères de Saint-Sérapion, encadré par un débat sur ce qui fait la singularité d’un conte pour enfants. Le texte entre en France détaché du recueil originel ; il est réécrit par Dumas en 1844. La comparaison des versions de Hoffmann et Dumas permet de réfléchir à la nature problématique des contes pour enfants : le conte pourrait bien être en définitive un genre sur l’enfance.
