Series editor's foreword

The fugitive and prisoner have played a prominent role in Irish history, literature and politics. It is no surprise, therefore, that he should be inexorably linked with Jacobitism (Irish support for the exile Stuart dynasty), the ideology which sustained Irish national identity between the Battle of the Boyne (1690) and the French Revolution (1789) and the cause which precipitated substantial, sustained migration from Ireland during the course of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This article will explore the chequered, colourful careers of five prominent Irish Jacobites of various ‘ethnic’ (Gaelic Irish, Old English and New English), confessional (Catholic and Protestant) and professional (aristocrat, clergyman and solider) origins, whose trials, tribulations, incarcerations and escapes bear testimony to the flexibility, geographical mobility and longevity of the Jacobite ideology in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora in Europe. In addition, their sustained traffic with Ireland, England and continental Europe show the crucial role which the Irish diaspora played in Jacobite politics and the extent to which they retained a practical affection for their exiled king, homeland and persecuted peers in Ireland.     

A qualitative exploration of reentry service needs: The case of fathers returning from prison

The challenge of community and family reentry after a parent's release from prison remains an under‐addressed area of collateral damage stemming from high rates of U.S. incarceration. Many fathers released from prison return to living with family, and later attribute family connections and parent–child contact as key factors in their postrelease success. However, reentry planning is hampered by a dearth of research on family‐focused reentry services, and consequently, often omits attention to resuming family and parenting roles. To address this gap, we conducted 38 semi‐structured interviews with 19 previously incarcerated fathers, 9 co‐parenting mothers, and 10 relatives to explore service needs of fathers during reentry. Findings suggest programs not only should be multimodal, emphasizing family connections complemented by socioeconomic, self‐care, and social support services, but also should be accessible and relatable, offered within the community, and engaging for fathers and family members. Findings reinforce the importance of self‐determination and human agency while underscoring the multiple challenges fathers face upon reentry. By including the voices of those most affected by incarceration, this study advances knowledge to shape reentry programs and policies, contributes to efforts addressing criminal justice inequities, and promotes well‐being among formerly incarcerated parents and their families.

非刑罚惩罚：犯过罪的人养老保险社会排斥探析

养老保险金是绝大部分人在晚年时期的基本生活保障,而对处于社会中弱势地位的犯过罪的人尤其如此.犯过罪的人包括以监禁方式执行的服刑人员、以非监禁方式执行的服刑人员和服刑完毕的刑释人员,他们的养老金被全部或部分地予以剥夺,也即在养老保险制度中他们遭到了社会排斥.这种社会排斥合法不合理地客观存在着,不利于罪犯的教育改造、社会的秩序稳定、人权的社会保障以及法治的建设发展.我国养老保险制度中对犯过罪的人的这种社会排斥,对犯过罪的人是一种非刑罚惩罚,并且是一种过量的惩罚,从而导致与现代刑法中"罪刑相适应"原则的理念的背离.     

自由的悖论——论多丽丝·莱辛的女性自由观

英国当代著名女作家多丽丝·莱辛在作品里从不同的视角切入,对当代西方女性的独立自由问题进行了深入的探讨,对女性自由的现状、实质等问题表达了自己辩证而多维的观点.女性的自由离不开男女两性的和谐相依,也无法脱离大社会而存在,女性的自由在某种程度上永远都是有限的.女性在囚禁和自由两者之间仍然难以抉择,自由甚至是一种悖论.自由不一定意味着幸福,"囚禁"却往往是最终的选择.     

论行贿罪受贿罪互动规制之完善——基于囚徒困境理论的思考

刑法第390条第2款规定的行贿罪特别自首制度的设立目的主要在于通过对行贿人行贿行为的轻打击以换取行贿人揭发受贿人的受贿行为。我国司法实践存在轻打击行贿罪重打击受贿罪的现象,同时存在着不合法的对行贿罪潜规则不起诉。囚徒困境原理揭示在行贿罪被免予起诉的情况下,行贿人较优的选择是揭发受贿行为。行贿罪与受贿罪互动规制中,应引入辩诉交易,且行贿罪特别自首制度应改为行贿罪特别自首、坦白制度。     

A Case for Improving Social and Supportive Service Delivery for Ex-Offenders with Community Information Systems (CINS)

Research has shown that information technology, such as reentry mapping, community information systems (CINS) and other geographic information system (GIS)–related applications have improved criminal justice and social welfare outcomes. These Web-based applications are essential in that they serve as portals for extensive data allocation, collection, storage, and information sharing. One such Web-based application, reentryBase, is a planned CINS, designed to respond to the growing need for improved delivery of social and supportive services to those returning from prison and jail. Its specific aim is to build capacity for both outreach to ex-offenders and networking among and between reentry stakeholders.     

Community Reentry and Older Adult Offenders: Redefining Social Work Roles

The number of older adults in US prisons continues to rise. In 2002, adults ages 50 and older made up 8% of the US prison population, up from 4% a decade prior. Many older offenders are released to communities that are poorly equipped to meet their special needs. and largely unprepared for the social and fiscal costs of their reentry. The focus of gerontological social work education on the returning older adult offender has been limited. This article examines social work roles in the community reentry/reintegration of older adult offenders. Best practices from the gerontological social work literature are presented and implications for social work practice are discussed.
