    Open AccessLeslie T Wilkins, Ken PeaseARTICLEInternational Journal of…1987Cited by: 4References: 3

    The authors offer a unique theoretical model of social reactions to crime, criminals and other deviant behaviours. They suggest a “demand for punishment” approach and a macro level analysis of general incentives as these may be related to the phenomenon of crime. European and United Nations data are used to make international comparisons

    Open AccessLeslie T WilkinsARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1976

    The incarceration of offenders (in prisons) with a view to their reformation was a social invention of the early Americans—the Quakers of Pennsylvania—some 200 years ago. The view that the goal of rehabilitation of offenders is either impossible or undesirable or both is now gaining ground rapidly. It has also become widely accepted, as the result of research and general experience, that the simplification of the problem of crime to the problem o…

  • Putting 'Treatment' on Trial

    Leslie T WilkinsARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report1975

    There has not, however, been much consistency with regard to the definition of the acts conceived to be punishable-or of the punishments considered appropriate. From time to time there has been some consideration of utility in the kinds of punishments awarded-slavery, galleys, work camps, and the like. At times there was consideration of symmetry between offense and punishment-an eye for an eye, bludgeoning of an architect if the building he cons…

  • Crime and Criminal Justice at the Turn of the Century

    Open AccessLeslie T WilkinsARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1973Cited by: 3

    The probability that the criminal justice system will suffer a complete breakdown before the year 2000 should not be discounted. If law and social control systems are to accommodate change in their environment at the necessary rate, a new philosophy, as well as quite different operating procedures, must be worked out. The present strategy of law enforcement agencies to develop more-of-the-same can only ensure breakdown. Pressures for control will…

    Open AccessLeslie T Wilkins, Thomas GitchoffARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1969Cited by: 1

    This paper considers certain aspects of social change and its relation to the necessity for variety in a dy namic social system. Certain consequences for social control in the future can now be predicted by references to techno logical developments. It seems unlikely that the rate of tech nological change will be diminished, and it is essential that social changes be made which can accommodate the techno logical innovations. The problems which ca…
