Abstract:
The article points out that today’s segregated system of holding convicts for punishments related to deprivation of liberty in Ukraine, has been handed down to us since the Soviet regime, so there is a need to rethink the very essence of this system. It is also noted that today, when determining the criteria for separate convicts’ detention, a legislator mainly takes into account gender, degree of recidivism, severity of the committed criminal offense, types of committed criminal offenses (such distribution is characteristic only for correctional colonies of the maximum security level and is provided for by Article 140 of the Criminal Executive Code of Ukraine), convicts’ age, etc. It is considered expedient to supplement the classification system with such components (criteria) as: the type of criminal activity and the degree of danger posed by a convicted person. The need for such changes is outlined in international documents in the field of protection of convicts’ rights. In particular, the maintained analysis of international documents in the penitentiary field provided grounds for concluding that in order to ensure safe conditions in penal institutions, it is necessary to comply with the following requirements: as soon as possible after convict’s arrival at a penal institution, it is necessary to obtain information about the convict’s state of health and determine the appropriate level of security for the convict, the security threat they pose. While determining the security threat, the following are taken into account: the risk that the convict may pose to society by escaping (if this risk exists, it is determined whether he will try to escape on his own, or will involve other convicts, representatives of the administration, etc., as a part of a group or with external help). Another aspect of examining convict’s identity is to find out whether they pose a safety threat to other convicts, the administration of a penal institution or other persons in the institution, and whether they are capable of self-harm and suicidal behaviour. Key words: convicts, staff, penal institution, distribution of convicts, security.

Abstract:
The problems of protecting the rights and legitimate interests in the sphere of labor of convicts sentenced to penalties and other criminal law measures not related to deprivation of liberty are identified. Penal inspectorates and the administration of correctional centers do not sufficiently take into account convicts' qualifications when ensuring that convicts follow the requirements of a court verdict. When enforcing the performance of compulsory and correctional labor, suspended sentence, penal inspectorates ignore the requirements of labor laws regarding the age of a minor, the “feasibility” of labor for minors, women, persons suffering from various types of diseases, the obligatory passage of medical examination of convicts when hiring them and further annual examination. In practice, the time free from studies when serving compulsory labor is incorrectly determined. There are cases of incorrect calculation of the term of correctional labor for convicts; groundlessness of the reasons for the convict's dismissal from the organization; problems with compensation for harm in case of injury to a convict associated with the performance of compulsory labor. In order to bring the convict to serving the sentence in a timely manner, the author proposes to establish in the criminal procedure law a rule providing for a period of time between the presentation of a sentence for execution and its acceptance for execution, and to introduce a rule in the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation providing for administrative responsibility for violations of this period. The author substantiates the necessity of improving the means of ensuring the execution by the convict of the order and conditions of serving correctional labor, and, in the penal legislation, proposes to provide for the possibility of imposing a duty on those convicted to correctional labor upon registration, as it was before, and also of changing this type of punishment to a more severe one for convicts who (a) systematically commit administrative offenses against public order or those similar to crimes for which the person was convicted; (b) evade registration or coming to the penal inspectorate for registration and do not leave their place of residence. Art. 79 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation should secure the right of the court to impose obligations on those released on parole from serving sentences during the probation period upon the penal inspectorate's presentation.

Abstract:
One of the rights of convict is obtaining parole. To get his right as a convict in order to get parole requires the consent of the convict's family as a guarantor. The aims of the research are to know the arrangement of parole to the convicts and to know the role of the family as a guarantor in granting parole to convicts. The method of research is the type of normative legal research. Approach of problem is approach of conceptual approach and legislation. Source of primary and secondary legal materials. Collection of legal materials by reading or studying books of legislation and other literature and added with the results of interviews. The analysis of legal materials is done by analytical descriptive. Results and discussion is the regulation of parole shall be granted to a convict who has served a criminal offense of at least 2/3 (two-thirds) with the provisions of 2/3 (two-thirds) of the criminal period not less than 9 (nine) months. it is regulated in Government Regulation no. 99 of 2012, Regulation of the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Regulation of the Minister of Justice and Human Rights Number M.01.PK.04-10 of 2007, Ministerial Regulation no. 21 of 2013 which contains conditional pretrial conditions and procedures for convicts. Approval of the family as a guarantor is one of the mandatory requirement in granting conditional exemption to the convict because the family will be responsible in guiding and supervising the convict if they have obtained the Conditional Paragraph, providing information about the circumstances of the convicts and the family is also obliged to assist the economic condition because in general the convicts the newly acquired parole has not had a job yet.

Abstract:
There are more than thirty penal institutions in the Republic of Serbia in which persons deprived of liberty "reside" due to different reasons as prescribed by law. A convicted person is committed to serve a prison sentence after the final court judgement. This is the rule, however, there is an exception. The position of a convict while serving a prison sentence depends on the type of penal institution in which the convict serves the sentence. There are many circumstances prescribed by law that determine to which penal institutions a convict will be committed to. Since 2009, there have been special rules on serving prison sentences for a certain category of convicts in the Republic of Serbia. This is when the Law on the Enforcement of the Prison Sentence for Criminal Offenses of Organised Crime was enacted. The author focuses on the committal of the most dangerous convicts to serving prison sentences. In this regard, the author points out who the most dangerous convicts are, where they serve the prison sentence, and how the procedure of committing the convict to serve the sentence is organised.

Abstract:
The article examines the issue of the institute of conditional early release from serving a sentence as one of the means of stimulating the convict’s behavior in terms of social and educational work. Social and educational work with persons, who are in places of deprivation of liberty is aimed at correction and resocialization, where a special role in correcting the convicts’ behavior is played by methods of motivation and stimulation of behavior, which include various incentives and benefits. The long-term practice of existence and application of the institution of conditional early release from serving a sentence has proved that the formations in the convicts’ minds of real prospects of conditional early release from serving a sentence creates favorable conditions for more effective correction and achievement of the criminal law purposes. To apply this norm, there must be 2 signs: the formal (legal) one presupposes the fact that the convict has served the part of the sentence, provided by law and factual (subjective) one, which presupposes that the convict must prove his correction by conscientious behavior and attitude to work. Conscientious behavior, conscientious attitude to work and to study, active participation in the work of amateur organizations is recognized as a reference point for determining that the convict “proved his correction”. Conscientious behavior should provide not only for the convict to have incentives but also to prove that the convict gives an example of behavior for other convicts. Conscientious attitude to work implies the convict’s desire to exceed the established norms of production or exemplary performance of work, as well as compensation for damages caused by the crime and the provision of material assistance to the family or the payment of claims. However, despite the relevance and duration of the process of conditional early release from serving a sentence, there are a number of issues regarding the technology of its application, determining the degree of correction in deciding on the application of this benefit, consideration of materials by the court at the request of the convict, along with the preparation of necessary materials for the court. Key words: social and educational work, conditional early release, technology of application, stimulation of behavior of convicts.

Abstract:
Among the many peculiarities of early New South Wales was the absence of a police force to manage a population largely composed of convicted criminals. Instead, the early Governors were forced to employ trusted convicts and ex-convicts to act as watchmen and constables and police their fellows. This article explores the history of these neglected convict police in the context of the contemporary development of modern policing in the British world. Using a case-study of a crack-down on illicit distilling under Governor King in 1805–1806, I demonstrate that the convict police were both surprisingly effective and prone to corruption, reflecting the legacy of British policing traditions and the influence of reformist ideas.

Abstract:
The peculiarities of the legal status of a person serving a sentence is considered in the article. The structure of convict’s legal status is considered. The main elements of convicts’ legal status include convicts’ subjective rights, legitimate interests and responsibilities. Under convict’s subjective right in the science of criminal and executive law they understand the possibility enshrined in law and guaranteed by the state of convict’s certain behavior or the use of certain social benefits provided by the legal obligations of officials of penal institutions and other legal entities. The author points out that legitimate interests are defined as convicts’ desire, enshrined in law, to take specific actions in order to obtain certain benefits, which are usually satisfied as a result of assessment by the officials or administration or administration of penitentiary institutions of a degree of convict’s correction. European standards and the world’s positive penitentiary practice of serving a sentence and maintaining prisoner’s legal status are being implemented very slowly. In turn, convict’s duties are established in the mandatory and prohibitive norms of the law to the extent of their necessary conduct during the sentence, ensuring the achievement of the latter’s goals, maintaining law and order during service, respect for the law and legitimate interests of a convict and others. The main violations of prisoners’ rights in penitentiary institutions of Ukraine are provided. The author considers the basic rights that are violated to be the following: the right to work, the right to receive medical care, the right to personal inviolability, the right to create a safe environment with appropriate conditions of detention. European standards and the world’s positive penitentiary practice of serving a sentence and maintaining prisoner’s legal status are being implemented very slowly. Key words: convict, penitentiary institution, legal status, punishment, Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, national preventive mechanism.

Abstract:
This article is about the socially useful work of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty, since this tool plays an important role in the lives of convicts while serving a criminal sentence, it creates certain prerequisites to acquire new work skills and the opportunity for a convict to be paroled from serving a criminal sentence. This article acquires special significance in connection with the ongoing scientific discussion among domestic scientists and practitioners of the penal enforcement system of Ukraine: on the recognition of community service as a right of convicts (Article 8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine); the convict’s participation in socially useful work upon conditionally early release from serving a sentence (Article 81 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine); whether it is possible to consider socially beneficial labor in places of deprivation of liberty as forced. The article emphasizes that the socially beneficial work of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty involves many factors, in particular: how many penal institutions of the State Security Service of Ukraine have their own production; what is the capacity of production facilities where convicts are employed, and what are the working conditions at the factory; whether the rules of labor protection, safety techniques and industrial sanitation, established by the labor legislation, are observed in the places of detention; whether this number of persons is included among those who are involved by the administration of the institution of execution of punishments to work on the improvement of residential and industrial areas of places of detention, adjacent territories and to improve the living and living conditions of convicts, since according to the fifth part of Article 118 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, such convicts are involved without payment work, as a rule, on a first-come, first-served basis, during non-working hours and for no more than two hours a day; is the training of convicts organized for the most widespread professions that are relevant in society and are in high demand (for example, locksmith, plumber, specialist in wood or metal, etc.). It has been proved that the socially beneficial work of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty is an urgent problem of scientific research, domestic scientists of the penitentiary field and practical workers of criminal-executive institutions of the State Security Service of Ukraine. It is noted that the involvement of convicts in community service is primarily an attempt by the administration of penal institutions of all security levels to create favorable conditions: employment of convicts while serving a criminal sentence; timely repayment of the debt owed to the victim of the crime according to the writ of execution; preparation of the convict for reintegration into society after serving the sentence. Based on the results obtained in the course of the scientific research, the following conclusions were made: socially useful work of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty to a certain extent contributes to the psycho-emotional relief of convicts, distracts them from different opinions and conflicts and contributes to correction and resocialization; the conscientious attitude of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty to socially useful work, subject to the fulfillment of other means of correction and resocialization, gives the convict the opportunity to exercise the right to parole; socially useful work of convicts in places of imprisonment creates all the conditions for obtaining useful skills that can positively affect the further work of the convict after release from prisons; socially useful work of convicts in places of deprivation of liberty is a reliable means of their correction and resocialization. Key words: community service, convicts, personnel, places of imprisonment, punishment, correction, resocialization, material support.

Abstract:
The article outlines the main scientific approaches to the correction of convicts in the works of domestic and foreign scientists. The results of solving two research problems are presented. In accordance with the first of them, the analysis of various interpretations of the concept of “correction” in relation to a convicted person for a committed crime, existing within the framework of philosophical, legal, pedagogical and medical approaches, is given. Approaches to the correction of convicts are considered in the development of the views of representatives of these sciences, their distinctive features are shown in the interpretation of factors, causes and conditions affecting the formation and development of qualities and personality traits of the convicted person, which prevent them from committing new crimes. In the course of solving the second task, a characteristic of the psychological approach to the correction of the convict is given. In this regard, the possibilities of using methods of psychoanalysis, behaviorist and humanistic approaches, transactional analysis and gestalt therapy in psychological work on the correction of convicts are analyzed.

Abstract. The article discusses features of the administrative and legal status of convicts, examines the mechanisms for the implementation of their rights and responsibilities of administrative and legal nature. The authors did not set the task of a detailed study of the legal status elements (rights, legal inte-rests, responsibilities). The purpose of the work is to reflect the peculiarities of the sectoral status of convicts using the example of administrative and legal status. The article draws attention to the fact that special status of a convict is formed not only by the penal legislation, but also by other segments, and the convicted person, as a legal subject, implements elements of his sectoral status with restrictions that distinguish him from other citizens who are not serving criminal sentences. Key words: administrative and legal status, convicts, special legal subject.

Abstract:
This thesis devises and tests an approach to understanding archaeological sites of convict labour in an Australian context. It is centred upon a seemingly simple question: was convict labour motivated more by punishment or profit? Focussing on those places where the government retained direct control of convict labour, this thesis proposes an analytical framework that can form the foundation of discussions into the role and residues of convict labour in Australia. Such a framework is required, with research into the convict past marked by a growing disconnect between the archaeological and historical disciplines. The model presented for discussion posits that there are two main analytical elements that should be discussed when engaging with landscapes of convict labour: the setting and process. The latter, in particular, presents a multi-faceted way of examining these landscapes, encouraging their analysis through a tripartite filter: organisation (how the convict labour was managed and deployed), supervision (how the labour was directed and controlled) and production (the economic basis of the convict labour). This thesis tests the model by applying it to five case study sites. These were established by the government to exploit Van Diemen's Land's (Tasmania) coal resource through the deployment of convict labour between ca.1822 and 1848. By drawing upon the archaeological and historical record, this research analytically deconstructs these places using the devised model. Focus is placed upon the role of penological aims in their formation and development, in particular the tension engendered between the motives of punishment and profit. It finds that these places were formed and developed in response to complex multi-scalar influences and the transformative effects of the power dynamics which were played out within them. Importantly, this thesis observes that these places of convict labour are marked by an ambiguity that resulted in a melded landscape where the formative motivators of punishment and profit co-existed, the disentanglement of which requires the application of archaeological and historical methodology.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis argues that the creation and development of the English convict prison system during the nineteenth century depended to a significant extent on the medical men who were employed there. It focuses on the practical work-lives and research of prison medical officers in five Victorian government-run convict prisons. The structure is both chronological and thematic: each chapter focuses on a specific convict prison and on particular concerns of prison medical officers and administration at a time when new challenges arose. The thesis demonstrates that prison medical officers changed the architecture, management, and philosophy that shaped the developing prison system, in what was an experimental era for prisons. At the start of the nineteenth century England had a medley of regional systems, different types of prisons and inconsistent punishments; by the end, a more uniform, organised, national system had been formed through experiment and policy change. Prison medical officers played a vital part in this transformation, and they thereby shaped the British understanding of “the criminal” in the decades before the advent of criminology. The intention to build a uniform system had to be rethought because of physical and mental health diagnoses made by the medical staff. The separation and categorisation of people within, based on medical concerns, shaped both convict prisons and the British understanding of “the criminal”. The thesis also argues that studying medicine in prisons illuminates the history of medicine, giving a new insight into how this group of medical men came to do important work in epidemiology, nutrition, psychiatry, neurology and public health.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the way in which a number of contemporary Australian novels use the contested figure of the early convict to reflect on, and participate in, the recent heated debates over Australian history and culture. It argues that while these novels represent an attempt to challenge the traditional narrative of the nation’s past promulgated by the Anglo-Celtic settler population, they predominantly reproduce rather than overturn the myths and stories that have been the hallmark of settler Australia. I examine the novels in three overlapping contexts: in relation to the way in which Australia’s convict history has shaped and influenced contemporary perceptions of nation and belonging; in relation to the tradition of convict fiction from Marcus Clarke onwards; and in relation to contemporary debates about Australian identity and history. I start with two contextual chapters: the first considers the foundational role of early convictism in creating the myths and stories that Anglo-Celtic Australians use to order their lives and how the convict legacy has left its mark on contemporary Australian society; the second examines the way in which early convict fiction established key aspects of settler history and identity, before considering how the genre of convict fiction responded to challenges to the nature of Australian society in the 1960s and 1970s. I then go on to examine critically the response of contemporary convict novels to the more fundamental challenges to traditional representations of Australian history and identity posed in the period immediately following the Bicentenary of British settlement, considering them in the contexts of Aboriginal dispossession, myths of exile and settler relationships to the land. I conclude that while these novels seek to reconceptualize the past they mostly fail to imagine an alternative vision for the country and consequently endorse rather than undermine the narratives they seek to challenge.

Full text
Abstract:
Prisoner reentry is becomingly increasingly recognised as a significant societal problem. Almost all prisoners will be released will reenter the community and many will reoffend. Internationally, imprisonment rates continue to rise, compounding the challenge to the criminal justice system that the current system of incarceration and reentry creates. Gaps remain in our understanding of the reentry process and the challenges faced by released prisoners. Previous reentry research has tended to focus on specific issues such as accommodation or employment or have used prisoner interviews as the data source. The gaps in reentry literature are compounded by conflicting definitions of 'successful' reentry. Research was undertaken to examine the definition of 'successful reentry' and to determine the most important variables deemed to affect successful prisoner reentry. Semi structured interviews were conducted with twenty-four stakeholders with a variety of roles in prisoner reentry in Western Australia. Additional data was collected from published government reports, policy documents, research reports and academic literature. The interview findings determined that accommodation, employment, social networks and education and treatment programs were deemed to have the most significant impact on prisoner reentry. One of the most significant findings to emerge is the significance of social networks. This study has found evidence that the value of social networks has been neglected in reentry policy. One of the core issues examined throughout this process was the definition of 'successful reentry'. The term 'successful reentry' requires clarification, alongside elucidation of related goals and measurements. Measures of reentry 'success' need to be developed further or ameliorated by additional criterion as successful reentry is a more complex problem than existing recidivism measures can address. This thesis challenges the existing understanding of the needs of prisoners reentering the community and suggests strategies for improving the reentry process and related outcomes. Future reentry policy needs to give greater weight to the value of social networks and establish mechanisms to facilitate the development and maintenance of these networks, which will in turn, assist prisoners to secure accommodation and employment opportunities.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is a study of assigned male convict labour in rural Van Diemen’s Land in the period 1820-40. Throughout this period agriculture and pastoralism were centxal to the colonial economy, and this sector was the largest private employer of convict labour, yet there has been no prior sustained investigation of the nature and experience of rural convict employment in Van Diemen’s Land. Research has involved use of records of convict transportation, the records of the convict department, colonial court records, and the correspondence of the colonial secretary’s office. Extensive use has also been made of the colonial press, published contemporary accounts, and unpublished journals of colonists. The thesis begins with a discussion of two oppositional representations of rural convict labour: John Glover’s painting ‘My Harvest Home’, and the ballad ‘Van Diemen’s Land’. These representations demonstrate the polarised debate on the nature of convict labour. Rural convicts have been largely neglected in the recent historiography of convict transportation; this thesis argues that this neglect is unwarranted, and that rural convict labour resists reductionist understanding of convict labour. Chapter 1 examines farming in the colony, demonstrating the importance and vitality of this sector of the economy. Chapters 2-4 discuss convict assignment, management, and convict responses. It is argued that assignment effectively placed those with experience of farm work with rural employers. Convicts’ skills are seen to have been relevant and useful to the rural economy. The management of convict servants operated both formally at the level of the Convict Department regulations and the magistrates bench, and informally on individual properties. Informal management best utilised incentives rather than force. Thus convicts were able to negotiate the authority of their employers through various means, including resistance. Chapters 5-7 discuss the convict experience of rural labour. Material conditions of diet, housing and clothing are examined in chapter 5. Convict recreational culture is investigated in chapter 6; it is argued that convicts created an important site of autonomy in this form. The intimate lives of convict men are discussed in chapter 7. Often seen as brutal and brutalising, it is argued that these relationships were important and meaningful sites in male convict experience.

Abstract:
Between 1815 and 1837 almost fifteen hundred Indian convicts were transported from the Presidencies of Bengal and Bombay and the colony of Ceylon to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. Transportation was then abandoned. After the convicts' arrival in Mauritius, they were put to work on various private and public works projects on the island. They were a crucial labour supply in important sectors of the rapidly expanding Mauritian economy. Above all they built and maintained the island's necessary infrastructure. This thesis begins with an analysis of the context in which a system of transportation was set up in the Indian Presidencies. It is shown that transportation was a 'humanist' penal strategy, given particular resonance in the South Asian region due to colonial perceptions of the significance of race and caste there. At the same time, transportation was implemented as an economic strategy. It removed relatively costly prisoners from the Indian jails and satisfied the demand for certain categories of labour in Mauritius, which could not easily be procured from among the island's existing workforce. Extensive analysis is then made of a highly original source: convict ship indents. It is clear that the convicts came from the margins of Indian society, comprising groups which had been placed under the most pressure by East India Company penetration into north India. The focus of the thesis then shifts to Mauritius and the operation of the convict system there. The main thrust of the remaining chapters is that although transportation was founded on 'disciplinary' principles, these were often far removed from the actual practices of convict management. The convicts' labour capacity was exploited, but this was sometimes challenged through convict resistance. Otherwise, there was a general lack of surveillance and control over the convicts which led to their widespread integration in Mauritian society - through cohabitation, religious activities, leisure and acquisition of private property - despite colonial directives to effect their social segregation. These conclusion lead to serious reservations about Foucauldian understandings of the matters addressed, which tend to totalise the effects of disciplinary and surveillance technologies.

Abstract:
Создание колоний поселений для осужденных, также известных как колонии трудового поселения или колонии-поселения, является одним из методов уголовного наказания. Эта концепция предполагает, что осужденные будут отправлены на отдаленные территории, где им предоставят возможность трудиться и вносить вклад в общество в условиях относительной изоляции. Такие поселения могут быть предназначены для различных категорий, осужденных, от нарушителей мелких правонарушений до более серьезных преступников. The creation of settlement colonies for convicts, also known as labor settlement colonies or settlement colonies is one of the methods of criminal punishment. This concept involves convicts being sent to remote areas where they will be given the opportunity to work and contribute to society in relative isolation. Such settlements can be designed for a variety of convicted offenders, from minor offenders to more serious criminals.

Abstract:
This paper is a part of the research conducted in the prisons of the Republic of North Macedonia, under the title "The Position of Convicted Persons in Penitentiary Institutions in Macedonia". The topic refers to the psychological response of convicted persons to their stay in prison, and above all to aggressiveness and its connection with deprivations in prison. The purpose of the research was to determine the degree of aggressiveness and components of aggressiveness, as well as the connection of aggressiveness with deprivations in the prison population. The results showed that recidivists are not more aggressive than first-time convicts, but the aggressiveness of both is higher in relation to norms. Regarding the association of aggression with deprivations from prison, it has been shown that there is an association with deprivations of material goods, heterosexual relationships and freedom as a result of being in prison. In explaining these findings, we used the frustration theory of aggressiveness, according to which all forms of aggressiveness have their source in the frustration of behavior aimed at satisfying some relevant biological need. Based on this research, some recommendations are given for reducing aggressiveness. Key words: aggression, deprivations, prison, convicted persons, frustration

Abstract:
In the second half of the 20th century, the tendency to abolish the death penalty influenced to an increased use of life imprisonment. According to available data, about half a million people in the world today are serving a life sentences in prison. Out of 216 countries and territories, life imprisonment is imposed in 183. Between 2004 and 2015, there was an increase in the imposition of these sentences of about 84%. Life imprisonment, with the exception of countries where the death penalty is applied, is imposed as the maximum punishment for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes. In different countries, life imprisonment is imposed with different options: with or without the possibility of parole depending on the severity of the crime and the social risk of the crime, the minimum sentence served, etc. A particular problem is the execution of this criminal sanction from the aspect of: application of the treatment, preservation of security in the institution both personal and general, preservation of the minimum level of mental health of convicts, accommodation of these convicts - individually or in a group with other categories of convicts, etc. International organizations dealing with human rights of prisoners recommend that prison institutions take advantage of all the opportunities that treatment provides in order to, as far as possible, preserve health, moral and spiritual strength of every prisoner who is serving a life sentence in prison, as a human, moral and civilized act of society. Keywords: life imprisonment, convict, treatment, social reaction, prison.

Abstract:
When an inmate leaves prison following a sentence for terrorism offenses, their reintegration will depend on whether they can function as a relatively social member of their community. Obstacles such as stigmatization exist for all former convicts, but among steadfast extremists these barriers will be mutual, if they continue to perceive the ingroup-outgroup dichotomy that fed their extremism in the first place. A simple but effective means for determining the likelihood that returning prisoners will act prosocially towards the ‘other’ could be the use of so-called lab-in-field games, which provide small incentives to learn how individuals behave in a given situation, rather than just eliciting their sentiment. This chapter outlines the potential for such an approach. It draws on field research conducted in Indonesia in 2018, which involved interviews with 28 former convicted terrorists, regarding their practical experiences with reintegration and interactions in the community.

À travers une série captivante de Dialogues interdisciplinaires sur les impacts sociétaux de l’IA, nous convions une ou un invité et des intervenantes et intervenants, provenant des sciences et génies, de la santé et des sciences humaines et sociales, à venir discuter des avancées, des défis et des opportunités soulevés par l’IA. Le premier dialogue de cette série débute avec Yoshua Bengio, qui, préoccupé par les développements de l’IA générative et des risques majeurs qu’ils engendrent pour la société, a initié l’organisation d’une conférence à ce sujet. Cette activité s’est déroulée le 14 août 2023 à Montréal et avait pour but d’engager une réflexion collective et interdisciplinaire sur les enjeux et risques posés par les récents développements de l’IA. La conférence a pris la forme d’un panel, animé par Juliette Powell, auquel était convié sept spécialistes provenant de disciplines variées : informatique (Yoshua Bengio et Golnoosh Farnadi), droit (Caroline Lequesne et Claire Boine), philosophie (Jocelyn Maclure), communication (Sonja Solomun) et science politique (Hugo Loiseau). Le présent document est ainsi issu de ce premier dialogue interdisciplinaire sur les impacts sociétaux de l’IA. Par la suite, les intervenantes et intervenants ont été invités à répondre de manière concise, dans la langue de leur choix, à des questions soulevées lors de cette activité.

Abstract:
In an effort to understand and decrease alcohol-impaired driving as a primary collision factor In California, the research team designed an evaluation plan for California Senate Bill 1046 and its focus on ignition interlock devices as a sentence for Driving Under Influence offense. This plan will evaluate whether Senate Bill 1046 affected the Driving Under the Influence crash frequency and severity, and whether sociodemographic and geographic factors influence its effectiveness. This report lays the foundation for the evaluation that will be conducted in 2024. The research team conducted a meta-analysis of the last 12 years of literature and research on ignition interlock programs inside and outside the United States. Based on the findings of this analysis, the recommended evaluation plan of the law revolves around three research questions that focus on the changes in the frequency/severity of DUI-related crashes in California, the impact of the law on recidivism and on interlock installation rates. To respond to these questions, the research team recommends a list of data that should be collected, such as the number of injuries and deaths resulting from alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents, installation rates of ignition interlocks compared to the prior five-year period, the number of individuals who were required to have an ignition interlock device installed who were convicted of an alcohol-related violation, as well as number of lockouts while an interlock is installed. The research team proposed several statistical approaches for the analysis of this data, such as descriptive statistics, time series analysis, analysis of variance, and logistic regression.
