Imprisonment and Human Rights in Israel
This article provides an overview of the key issues in international and Israeli human rights standards related to incarceration from a legal and sociological perspective. We argue that the Israeli imprisonment system is currently undergoing uncertain changes, showing high volatility due to its historical development and normative nature. Our account of the tensions between punishment and human rights in Israel over recent decades suggests that t…

Children's Rights and Traditional Values
This book of essays by legal scholars from the United Kingdom, Eire, Israel and Palestine explores the extent to which the recognition of the concept of children’s rights is affected by adherence to religious, cultural and ethnic traditions. The aim is twofold: first, to illuminate the interface between internationally-agreed norms of conduct regarding children and national and cultural determination to preserve traditional approaches; and second…
Victimology and the sociology of new disciplines
Focusing on the literature on the sociology of scientific knowledge, the purpose of the present article is to explore the extent to which its conceptual frameworks may be applicable to the field of victimology, thus providing new perspectives for the enhancement of our understanding of the manner in which this field has been developing and related ontological issues. The theoretical discussion is supplemented by initial explorations towards a qua…
Child Protection or Child Liberation? Reflections on the Movement to Ban Physical Punishment by Parents and Educators
In recent years the debate on the legitimacy of the infliction of corporal punishment by parents on their children has been intensified. This traditional parental power has been challenged both at governmental and legislature levels and in the courts, in some cases leading to its prohibition — a policy which has now been endorsed by various international norm-setting bodies. This article traces the historical development of this abolitionist move…

The creation and evolution of criminal law in colonial and post-colonial societies
Theoretical models of the legislative process are explored in order to seek an explanation of the phenomenon whereby post-colonial democracies frequently retain the legislation adopted by the imperial predecessor. This even applies to criminal codes, in spite of their presumed role in the controlling of colonial populations. A possible explanation is proffered in terms of a bureaucratic model of legislation, which seems to fit both colonial power…

Sentencing and the Victim
In 1991 the U.S. Supreme Court — reversing its earlier decisions on this point — held that it was permissible to present before a jury at a capital sentencing hearing evidence regarding the character of the victim and the suffering inflicted upon the vistim's family. The implications of this decision for sentencing philosophy are considered, particularly in the context of the ‘justice’ model, and in relation to the two components of determining o…

Attitudes of New Immigrants Toward White-Collar Crime
This study was designed to determine how far new immigrants to Israel from diverse cultures and economic systems-the Soviet Union and the United States-would differ in their attitudes to crime, in particular white-collar crime. Respondents were asked to rate various deviant acts in terms of their seriousness and to express their views on certain other questions related mainly to criminal justice. A sample of veteran Israelis was also questioned f…

The Reparations Agreements
In the wake of the Holocaust, a series of agree ments were reached between the Federal Republic of Ger many and representatives of the Jewish people regarding com pensation for the suffering inflicted during that terrible era.
