Aktywność fizyczna w zakładach karnych a podstawowe wymiary osobowości mężczyzn odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności

Author(s): Anetta Jaworska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2015

Artykuł dotyczy aktywności fizycznej (AF) w zakładach karnych, rozumianej jako ponadspoczynkowy wysiłek energetyczny wykonywany przez skazanych w czasie wolnym. Celem badań było ustalenie osobowościowych korelatów AF mężczyzn odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności. W badaniach zastosowano metody kwestionariuszowe. Jedną grupę stanowili mężczyźni osadzeni w placówkach penitencjarnych (N = 121), którzy wykazują aktywność fizyczną, a grupę porównawczą osadzeni nieaktywni fizycznie (N = 128) w wieku od 22 do 55 lat. Wyniki badań pokazały, że więźniowie systematycznie uczestniczący w programach z zakresu kultury fizycznej i sportu odznaczają się wyższą stabilnością emocjonalną(p < 0,05) oraz wyższym poziomem ekstrawersji (p < 0,05). Nie różnią się natomiast poziomem psychotyzmu (p = 0,80). Poniższe opracowanie jest fragmentem większych badań dotyczących psychologicznych korelatów aktywności fizycznej w zakładach karnych.

Author(s): Zbigniew Nowacki / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2014

This work concerns susceptibility of convicted “non – flashing” men to manipulation concentrated on depreciation of others and connected with conformity. I’ve conducted a research to answer a question: “Is there connection between the time of prison isolation and susceptibility of imprisoned to manipulation?” To test susceptibility to manipulation I used author’s questionnaire (N = 203) imprisoned have been tested, both convicted for the first time and more. According to assumptions susceptibility to manipulation connected with conformity of imprisoned for the first time was rising with the amount of time spent in prison isolation (N = 116). Along with the time spent in prison by those put there for the second time and more susceptibility to manipulation connected with conformity was falling (N = 87).

Czas izolacji więziennej a podatność skazanych na manipulacje skoncentrowane na deprecjacji innych oraz odwołujące się do konformizmu

Author(s): Zbigniew Nowacki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2014

Praca dotyczy problemu podatności skazanych mężczyzn nieuczestniczących w podkulturze grypserskiej na manipulacje skoncentrowane na deprecjacji innych oraz odwołujące się do konformizmu. Przeprowadzono badanie mające na celu udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie: Czy istnieje związek między czasem izolacji więziennej a podatnością skazanych na manipulacje? Do badania podatności na manipulacje posłużono się autorską ankietą. Zbadano skazanych przebywających pierwszy raz w izolacji więziennej oraz przebywających w niej kolejny raz (N = 203). Zgodnie z przypuszczeniem, wraz z czasem izolacji więziennej skazanych pierwszy raz, wzrastała ich podatność na manipulacje skoncentrowane na deprecjacji innych (N = 116). Również zgodnie z oczekiwaniem, wraz z czasem izolacji skazanych kolejny raz zmniejszała się ich podatność na manipulacje odwołujące się do konformizmu (N = 87).

Институционализација социјалне контроле и њене злоупотребе

Author(s): Vladan P. Stanković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2016

In Serbia matter of social control is insufficiently researched social area. Much more attention is paid to the utilitarian control and penology ‒ politicological matter governance of others; punishment individual in working process, and disciplining them, and measures mechanical and forced socialization (which covers a range of physical punishment to psychiatric treatment). The profit logic of capitalism requires only a functional approach to social control. In practice, in terms of the institutionalization of social control, little has been done so far. Lack institutional forms of action in this matter seems that instead the institutions of government controls, controls govern institutions. All this only: increases the inefficiency of working exertion, reduces the positive effects of the work, reduces the quality of services and the volume of newly created value, growth and development...

Szósta nowelizacja kodeksu karnego w zakresie przestępstw seksualnych (Ustawa z dnia 4 kwietnia 2014 r .)

Author(s): Jarosław Warylewski / Language(s): Polish Issue: XXXIII/2015

On 17 December 2013 a draft law amending the Criminal Code and certain other laws was submitted to the Sejm by the government. The amendment concerned mainly Chapter XXV of the Criminal Code, which is devoted to sexual offenses. If it enters into force,it will be the sixth in turn amendment of this small chapter, consisting of articles from 197 to 205. At the same time, it is the most often amended chapter of the specific section of the Criminal Code, arousing a particular interest of both the government and the parliament.However, such interest is not a good thing for the regulation, because all previous changes,despite one adopted in 2004 which corrected two obvious errors (one in art. 200 and the other one in art. 202 of the Criminal Code), not only spoiled the libertarian concept of sexual offences proposed by professor M. Filar, but also “suffered from” numerous legislative bungles. Unfortunately, this applies to the recent draft as well.The implementation of more effective regulations within chapter XXV of the Criminal Code and other related provisions would deserve the acceptance in the situation, which would require such regulation. Criminological diagnosis of sexual offences in Poland since the enactment of the Criminal Code in 1997 has not provided any arguments that the protection of sexual freedom and decency under the provisions adopted in 1997 is insufficient. The Author critically assesses most amendments of chapter XXV of the Criminal Code,including the last one presented in the article, and he considers that they ft the penal populism and the ideologisation of criminal law.

Przedawnienie ścigania przed Trybunałem Stanu

Author(s): Sławomir Steinborn / Language(s): Polish Issue: XXXI/2014

The article is devoted to the issue of time limitations of starting the proceedings before the Tribunal of State. The analysis of provisions contained in the Act on the Tribunal of State of 1982 leads to the conclusion that the end of the ten-year limitation period provided in Art. 23 of the act leads to the inadmissibility of the prosecution only before the Tribunal of State, If the prosecution before the Tribunal of State includes both the constitutional responsibility and criminal liability, the time limitation with respect to both types of liability is assessed in accordance with the principles laid down in Art. 23 of the Act on the Tribunal of State. However, if the responsibility for constitutional tort and liability for the offense are subject to separate proceedings - before the Tribunal of State and criminal proceedings - in each case the issue of the limitation is assessed autonomously, and so only in relation to the particular type of liability on the basis of appropriate regulations. The statement by the Tribunal of State that the constitutional tort, which the defendant was accused of in the proceedings concerning the constitutional responsibility, is a crime justifying the adoption of more than ten-year limitation period depends on the proving by a final judgment of a court that the crime was committed. The submission of the initial proposal referred to in Art. 6 p. 2 of the Act on the Tribunal of State means that the limitation period determined in accordance with Art. 23 p- 1 of the Act runs from the beginning.

Udział czynnika społecznego w postępowaniu w sprawach nieletnich – założenia teoretyczne i praktyka

Author(s): Dobrosława Szumiło Kulczycka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 21/2016

Juvenile law is a relatively young branch of law. It was singled out at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. From the very beginning, juvenile law regulations could be distinguished as two dominant models: protective and restrictive. However, neither of them fulfilled expectations and faced a wave of criticism. One of the consequences of this situation was the appearance of the “third road” of reaction on juvenile crimes – that of restorative justice. Under the regulations in force, in Poland juvenile matters are resolved on the basis of the protective model. From 2001 it has been enriched with elements of the restorative justice model such as mediation. The aforementioned regulations also provide for the wide participation of a social factor in juvenile matters, but, as statistics show, with minimal relevance in practice. The article is a contribution to discussion about the causes of this minimal relevance and the possibilities of changing it, for instance by enlarging the participation of social organizations in juvenile crime matters.
