Restorative Justice and Procedural Justice: Dealing with Rule Breaking

This article identifies similarities among three approaches to dealing with rule breaking: the procedural justice model, the restorative justice model, and the study of moral development. Each argues that the long-term goal when dealing with rule breaking is to motivate rule breakers to become more self-regulating in their future conduct. This goal is undermined by punishment-focused models of sanctioning. Sanction-based models, which dominate current thinking about managing criminals, have negative consequences for the individual wrongdoer and for society. It is argued that greater focus needs to be placed on psychological approaches whose goal is to connect with and activate internal values within wrongdoers with the goal of encouraging self-regulatory law-related behavior in the future.

西欧的独特性、东方专制主义与近代法治

文章认为,法治的生成和发展是与国家和市民社会关系紧密相关的,而国家和市民社会关系在东西方却具有不同的演进路径.即在西方呈现的是国家与市民社会相复合(古希腊)--国家对市民社会的监护(古罗马)--国家吞并市民社会(西欧中世纪)--市民社会与国家的二元分立和抗衡(近代资本主义).这种发展路径造成了多元文化和权利抗衡国家权力的西欧独特性,并促动了近代法治的生成.而古中国及东方国家则一直处于国家吞并市民社会状态,形成了扼制权利和自由的东方专制主义,法治便无以产生.这启示我们,中国要走向法治,就不应仅满足于法律制度的植入和法律体系的建构,也不应满足于民主政治、市场经济和理性文化这种法治基础和条件的一般性解说,而应着力建立国家和市民社会的良性互动关系,这才是问题的关键.

学习型组织:现代学校发展战略的理想选择

学习型组织理论是以系统动力学为理论基础创建的一种先进的管理理念。该理论以其思想的先进性、手段的时代性以及方法的务实性,为人们提供了一种全新的科学管理思想体系。构建学习型组织是适应现代学习化社会的需要,使学校教育教学活动的特征更体现了学习性机构的意义和价值。随着终身教育和学习化社会的普及,先进、科学、富于变革力量的学习型组织已经越来越成为现代学校管理模式和发展战略的理想选择。     

现代文明转型与生态文明建构

工业文明为人类社会的进步做出了巨大贡献,但因对资源、环境等方面的破坏而使其陷入发展的困境。由于人们对工业文明的理性反思和对人与自然关系认识的转变,现代文明正经历着一场结构性的范式转型。作为迄今为止人类历史上最高的文明形态,生态文明是人类文明的自觉选择,是和谐社会的基石,必将促进社会的进步和人的全面发展。要构建生态文明,需要从思想观念到道德行为、从发展模式到生活方式、从人与自然关系到人与社会关系进行彻底的变革和转型。     

Social Work: Gender, Care and Justice

Correspondence to: Joan Orme, Department of Social Policy and Social Work, Lilybank House, Bute Gardens, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8RT, UK. Summary This article, in examining gender and justice, seeks to examinethe relationship between feminist theory and social work. Specificallyit reviews writings on social work ethics and suggests thatlittle attention has been paid to feminist scholarship thatresonates with social work practice. Focusing primarily on communitycare, it demonstrates how debates within feminism have becomemore complex and have problematized understandings of both careand justice. It argues that for social work it is unhelpfulto dichotomize justice and care; we should aspire to just socialwork practice.     

Policies,Procedures, and People: Sources of Support for Government?

Objective . Many have written about the public's low opinion of the federal government; however, the theoretical sources and consequences of political trust have been empirically elusive. Drawing on the procedural justice framework, this study investigates the structure and consequences of people's mistrust of the federal government. Methods . Using data from various years of the National Election Study (NES), this research investigates the relationship between policy, procedural, and personal concerns and support of government. Results . Judgments about policy outputs, the process by which these policies develop, and the people involved in this process are shown to be sources of governmental trust, and certain aspects of trust are shown to have important behavioral consequences. Conclusions . These findings help to explain the failure of previous research into the causes and consequences of political trust. The various policy and process judgments that the NES Index combines play important independent roles in explaining political trust itself and its relationship with political behaviors and other attitudes.     

Computer Simulation and Social Work Education: A Suitable Case

Summary Despite the sophisticated advance of computer technology, socialworkers display little interest in grasping its positive aspectsor examining the negative elements. Yet developments in computertechniques can enable us to examine the social work processor simulate experimental situations. In educational terms, with the advent of a computer programwhich is able to simulate the elements of social work case situations,a new teaching aid is available. This paper describes the developmentof a simple computerised social work case simulation exerciseto introduce beginning social work students to some practicestrategies.
