Assessing attitudes toward rehabilitation during the Covid-19 pandemic
This study explored potential associations between students’ attitudes toward rehabilitation of convicted offenders and factors such as the emotional impact of social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic and their knowledge about criminology and criminal justice. The pandemic’s social isolation context enabled the measurement of the emotional experience (affective component) on punitive and rehabilitative attitudes. The study analyzed quantitat…
Locus of Control Among Arab and Jewish Israeli Parolees
This research examines how participation in the Israeli Prisoner Rehabilitation Authority supervised therapy program for paroled prisoners can reinforce Jewish and Arab prisoners’ locus of control given their cultural diversity. Research participants included 108 paroled prisoners who had taken part in the program during 2019 to 2020. The program appears to have made a positive contribution to participants’ locus of control, particularly among Je…
Institutional Myths of the Probation Field
Probation is common globally, and many probation clients receive violations. Research on violations focuses on client characteristics or probation officer (PO) decision-making without considering the influence of the courtroom workgroup of judges, prosecutors and defence attorneys. Based on interviews with 94 POs in a statewide US probation agency, we analyse POs’ perceptions of their interactions with the courtroom workgroup using an inhabited i…

Reintegration experiences in a sample of Israeli parolees on completion of their term of supervision
For many released prisoners, the period following release is characterized by extreme challenges. The ability to overcome such challenges depends on the services, level of supervision, and type of support available. One type of support offered by the Israeli Prisoners’ Rehabilitation Authority provides a supervisory and rehabilitative framework for reintegration after release from imprisonment, with an emphasis on employment. The present study ex…
Difficulties and Challenges in an Employment Supervision Program for Paroled Prisoners
The integration of paroled prisoners in employment is presented in the theoretical and research-based literature as one of the principal means of achieving successful re-entry by the prisoners into the community. The literature deals extensively with the correlation between integration and perseverance in employment and risk indices, the most pronounced of which is a return to crime. According to the Theory of Desistance from Crime, it is not eno…
Working Behind Bars
The research is aimed at examining the perceptions and attitudes of prisoners employed in enterprises in prison vis-à-vis employment and deriving conclusions regarding the impact of employment on the lives of prisoners in prison and its contribution to advancing their rehabilitation. Doing time is generally a painful experience, both physically and mentally, and often adversely influences prisoners’ life after release. Programs and activities hav…

At this stage, it may be tentatively stated that the phenomenon is not insignificant. This theoretical article describes the various aspects of the criminal justice system associated with the undesirable outcome of wrongful convictions. The paper reviews a series of organizational and forensic aspects that cou…
