This dissertation aims to understand the purpose of criminological examination. Thus, it seeks to discuss the criminological examination, its legal and theoretical reasoning as well as its merits, taking into account a set of overlapping correlations involved in its execution, which encompasses different specialized knowledge such as the knowledge of psychologists, social workers, Judges of Criminal Enforcement and Public Prosecutors. The argument explored is the conducting methods, the goals and the power relations between different actors involved in the preparation of this exam, intrinsic to the judicial practices of a disciplinary society in which we seek social control and appropriateness of behaviors. It is observed that by individualizing the service and elaborating the criminological examination, there is a construction of the individual s identity as a prisoner within the penal system, thus resulting in the blaming of the individual and his family for criminal involvement, and making him liable for his process of reintegration into society. The family is seen in this context as an important link between the prisoner and society during the execution of the sentence, and source of support for his return to social life. / O objeto desta dissertação é o Exame Criminológico, elaborado pelos profissionais do Serviço Social e da Psicologia, como subsídio à decisão do Juiz da Vara de Execuções Penais de Foz do Iguaçu/PR quanto à progressão de regime dos presos detidos nas penitenciárias estaduais de Foz do Iguaçu (Penitenciária Estadual de Foz do Iguaçu I e Penitenciária Estadual de Foz do Iguaçu II) no ano de 2012. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo compreender a finalidade do exame criminológico. Busca-se, assim, discutir o exame criminológico, sua fundamentação legal e teórica bem como suas particularidades, tendo em vista o conjunto de relações imbricadas na realização do mesmo que envolve diferentes saberes especializados em sua execução, como os saberes do psicólogo, do assistente social, do Juiz da Vara de Execução Penal e do Promotor de Justiça. O argumento explorado é de que a metodologia de realização, os objetivos e as relações de poder entre diferentes atores envolvidos na elaboração desse exame são intrínsecos às práticas judiciárias de uma sociedade disciplinar, na qual se busca o controle social e a adequação dos comportamentos. Observa-se que, através da individualização da pena e da elaboração do exame criminológico, ocorre a construção da identidade do indivíduo como preso no sistema penal, resultando na culpabilização do indivíduo e de sua família pelo envolvimento criminal, e responsabilizando o preso pelo seu processo de reintegração à sociedade. A família é vista, nesse contexto, como importante elo de ligação do preso com a sociedade durante o cumprimento da pena, e fonte de apoio para o seu retorno ao convívio social.

In a world where conflict is common, effective programs for reintegration of the combatants must exist for the post conflict societies. There is also a growing presence not only of gangs, but also of reintegration programs for those that chose to leave said gangs. To find what parts of those processes are alike and what parts are different is the objective of this thesis. For the former combatants, the thesis focuses on those of the former rebel group, meaning the illegally armed group. The reasons for comparing the two processes are that they outwardly look quite similar in the sense that the both deal with reintegration of formerly armed groups. Both groups have also been involved in some sort of violent action, and they are both being reintegrated into a society that they are not actively full members of. The research is carried out through a desk study using the method of a qualitative research through and abductive approach. The theoretical framework that is used is the inclusion-exclusion framework from the security-development nexus. This is also combined with the use of an analytical framework which was created using three different parts of full reintegration, namely social, political and economical reintegration. Through the usage of the case study of El Salvador, the thesis found that there were both similarities and differences between the two types of reintegration, however, the differences far outweighed the similarities. The thesis also found that while the two processes may be alike from an outside perspective, they are dealing with people of quite different needs. However, some potential can be seen for changes in both processes in order to improve their efficiency, though more research is needed.

The United States is one of the top destination countries for human trafficking, and Florida has the third highest number of reported cases of human trafficking. Despite the severity of this issue, Florida anti-trafficking legislation, reintegration programs, and awareness campaigns tend to contribute to the invisibility of the victims and undermine their recovery and reintegration into society, especially when the victims are immigrants. This project uses a multi-method approach including content analysis of anti-human trafficking campaigns to argue that portrayals of a “perfect victim” only amplify stigmatization and discrimination against immigrant victims. Through in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation highlighting the voices of immigrant survivors, law enforcement and service providers, I analyze the individual and structural challenges to reintegration. Using these insights, I offer several recommendations about the type of services and training necessary to help trafficking victims recover from their trauma and rebuild their lives.

Through the Colombian Institute for Family Welfare (ICBF), the Colombian government aims to provide comprehensive reintegration for children demobilized from the country’s various armed groups. The reestablishment of rights, including the right to health (guaranteed by the Colombian constitution), is a key factor in successful reintegration. This thesis explores the topic of access to health care and health seeking behavior among former child soldiers in Manizales, Colombia who are over the age of 18 and were previously in the Hogar Tutor program (foster care-based youth reintegration) in Manizales. This thesis utilizes semi-structured interviews (n=9) and body mapping (n=9) with former child soldiers, key-informant interviews, participant observation, and a review of archival and secondary sources, including survey data, which is used to complement this research. This research is focused on understanding the barriers participants are experiencing in accessing health care, how participants understand and experience health and the health care system, and how health is handled within reintegration programs. Findings illustrate the incompatibility of transitional justice and the right to health within a neoliberal health system. This research suggests that former child soldiers face significant barriers in access to health care, experience persistent health conditions related to the conflict, and may be insufficiently aware of their rights as both citizens and victims of the armed conflict. These challenges likely affect the ability of former child soldiers to successfully reintegrate. This thesis provides recommendations for future research, as well as for the implementation of- and changes to- health education efforts within the ICBF and the Colombia Agency for Reintegration (ACR).

Magister Artium - MA / Recidivism, the tendency to revert to crime upon release from prison, seems to be an uncontrollable phenomenon as inmates keep on re-offending, which impacts negatively on the already overcrowded correctional centres in South Africa. Life in prison is harsh and overpopulation leads to numerous communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and other sexuality transmitted infections. Offenders participate in various rehabilitation programmes during their incarceration. However, the challenge is to sustain these rehabilitation efforts after their discharge from prison. Offenders released into society face numerous obstacles such as the need for employment, food, shelter, and the stigma of having been imprisoned. The community is reluctant to receive perpetrators back into society after their release from prison. Consequently, ex-offenders struggle to find employment because of this stigma, which often translates into family break-ups. They are then expected to invent new ways of making a living and surviving without any help from society; in, they resort to crime, which in turn results in recidivism. The research comprises an exploratory study of the challenges that offenders face upon release and which contribute to recidivism in the Department of Correctional Services (DCS). The West Coast Medium ‘A’ Correctional Centre in the Western Cape has been selected as the case study area. Although offenders attend various rehabilitation programmes inside the prison, it has become apparent that upon their release this rehabilitation is not sustained. The qualitative methodology used for this research included semi-structured interviews in order to gather information on the challenges that contribute to recidivism. Offenders, parolees, family members, the Head of Social Reintegration, a social worker, a representative of NICRO, the Chairperson of the Atlantis Community Police Forum, and a spokesperson for SAPS Atlantis were interviewed in order to gather the relevant information. / South Africa

Bien qu’ayant adopté des textes au plan national et ratifié plusieurs Conventions internationales relatives à la protection des enfants, le Bénin continue d’enregistrer diverses formes de maltraitance à l’égard des enfants. De même, le Bénin souffre d’un dysfonctionnement réel et d’une carence des systèmes judiciaire et pénitentiaire à l’égard de la protection des mineurs en conflit avec la loi. Par ailleurs, on se demande aujourd’hui quelles réponses pénales apporter à ces enfants en situation difficile si les nombreuses mesures appliquées ont montré leur limite parce que se résumant pour la plupart soit à des mesures de garde ou de rééducation, soit une condamnation pénale. Cette situation globale et souvent latente qui constitue l’une des aberrations des temps modernes ne peut laisser quiconque indifférent bien qu’il soit délicat de connaître l’étendue de ses manifestations. D’où l’évidence de ‘repenser la politique criminelle du mineur au Bénin’.Mais, malheureusement la politique criminelle de l’enfant loin de se contextualiser reflète encore certaines dispositions du passé qui inévitablement portent atteinte au traitement éhonté réservé aux enfants béninois. C’est pourquoi face à une politique criminelle des mineurs à état des lieux alarmant, il est nécessaire d’inventer une nouvelle politique criminelle. / Although having adopted texts with the national plan and having ratified several International conventions relating to the protection of the children, Benin continues to record various forms of ill-treatment with regard to the children. In the same way, Benin suffers from a real dysfunction and a deficiency of the systems legal and penitentiary with regard to theprotection of the minors in conflict with the law. In addition, one asks for today which penal answers give to these children in difficult situation if many measurements applied showed heir limit because summarizing itself for the majority either with measurements of guard or rehabilitation, or a penal judgment. This total and often latent situation which constitutes oneof the aberrations of modern times cannot leave whoever indifferent although it is delicate to know the extent of its demonstrations. From where obviousness “to reconsider the criminal policy of the minor in Benin”. But, unfortunately the criminal policy of the child far from contextualizing itself reflects still certain provisions of the past which inevitably undermine the booked shameless treatment to the Beninese children. This is why vis-a-vis a criminal policy of the minors in alarminginventory of fixtures, it is necessary to invent a new criminal policy.

People convicted of sexual offences are arguably one of the most marginalized criminal offender groups because both the general population and offender populations tend to have hardened views of these individuals (Spencer, 2009; Wilson & Prinzo, 2001). Circles of Support and Accountability Ottawa (CoSA-Ottawa) is an organization that helps people convicted of sexual offences reintegrate into society by challenging traditional forms of community reintegration. CoSA-Ottawa was founded on the principles of restorative justice, which are exemplified in their mottos “no more victims” and “no one is disposable.” The organization relies on the commitment and contribution of volunteers to assist with the reintegration process. While there have been various studies on CoSA from different perspectives (Duwe, 2012; Fox, 2014; Wilson, Picheca, and Prinzo, 2007; Wilson & Prinzo, 2001), there have been few studies directly focusing on CoSA-Ottawa volunteers through a critical lens. This study examines the subjective experiences of CoSA-Ottawa volunteers who work with people labeled as ‘sex offenders.’ The research was conducted using semi-structured interviews with six participants. Each interview transcript was transcribed and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The master themes that developed through this study include: the humanization of the monstrous, the reintegration and re-socialization through a helping relationship, and overall impacts of these relationships on CoSA-Ottawa volunteers. Using a governmentality and power conceptual framework, this thesis demonstrates how the relationships between the core members and volunteers are transformative and act as an extension of the carceral system. Further, this thesis illustrates that the supportive function of these relationships is explicit, while their governing function is implicit.

The thesis on the topic of Taking Care of GE and Knowledge Transfer in Company X has examined the practice in the field of the global assignments of the company X hand in hand with a qualitative research method among the GE of X. First, theoretical proposals were introduced and analysed. Then they were connected with the results of the research and discussed and proposals were made for optimising of the care taking about the GE and for releasing the knowledge flow in X.

En el Perú, la violencia, específicamente hacia las mujeres, se viene incrementando con el paso de los años, tal es así que, actualmente el país ocupa el tercer lugar a nivel mundial con más violencia de género y el segundo lugar en Latinoamérica (Organización Mundial de la Salud, 2016). Existen en Lima trece casas de refugio para mujeres de las cuarenta y seis que hay en el país (Centro de la Mujer Peruana “Flora Tristán”, 2016), pero lamentablemente su capacidad está en función a la infraestructura existente a la cual adaptaron el uso, más no a la cantidad de mujeres que necesitan ser albergadas. Al estar adaptadas, generalmente en viviendas unifamiliares, solo presentan ambientes de acogida y no brindan los servicios de salud necesarios que contribuyen a la recuperación y rehabilitación integral de las mujeres y niños. Por este motivo, el Centro de Rehabilitación Integral para Mujeres y Familias Vulnerables en Villa El Salvador plantea un lugar de acogida con múltiples servicios de salud, capacitación y albergue, entre otros, con el fin de contribuir a la rehabilitación de las mujeres, y reinsertarlas a la sociedad. / In Peru, violence, specifically against women, has been increasing over the years, up to the point that it is currently ranked third place worldwide and second place in Latin America as the country with the most gender violence (World Health Organization, 2016). There are thirteen shelter houses for women in Lima out of 46 that exist in the country as a whole (Center for Peruvian Women “Flora Tristán”, 2016). Unfortunately, their capacity depends on that of the existing infrastructure which was adapted for this new function, and is not tailored for the number of women that need to be sheltered. This adapted buildings are mostly single family houses that only have reception environments and do not provide the necessary health services that contribute to the recovery and integral rehabilitation of women and children. For this reason, the center for integral rehabilitation for women and vulnerable families in Villa El Salvador district proposes a welcoming place with multiple health, training, and shelter services, in order to contribute to their recovery and reintegration to society. / Trabajo de Suficiencia Profesional
