Value of a pre-sentence report in determining the suitability of sentences other than imprisonmentMocwaledi, Oarabile Ishmael 11 1900 (has links)
In this dissertation the problems surrounding the sentencing stage and factors
which influence the sentence are briefly considered. The emphasis is on the use
and value of a pre-sentence report in determining suitable sentences other than
imprisonment. Historical background in the use of pre-sentence reports in South
Africa, England and America is briefly referred to. Relevant concepts, such as
individualisation of punishment, are considered in relation to possible sentences
such as compensation, fines, community service, and correctional supervision. It
is concluded that the provisions of sections 274 and 276A of the Criminal
Procedure Act 51 of 1 977 are not enough to regulate the use of pre-sentence
reports in South Africa. It is further concluded that legislation is needed in this
area, but in the meantime, our courts should work towards developing guidelines
based on the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1 977. / Criminal and Procedural Law / LL.M (Law)

Penologiese ondersoek rakende voorvonnisevaluering / Penological investigation concerning a presentence evaluationDe Villiers, Elizabeth Ann 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Hierdie verhandeling is 'n poging om 'n teoretiese-prinsipiele uiteensetting te gee omtrent voorvonnisevaluering vanuit 'n penologiese gesigspunt.
Met voorvonnisevalueringsverslae word daar gepoog om op 'n sinlike manier beide
positiewe en negatiewe elemente van die individuele oortreder se persoonlike- en
maatskaplike agtergrond en huidige situasie aan die lig te bring naamlik kenmerke
van sy gedragspatrone sowel van sy sterk en swak eienskappe.
Die hoofdoel van voorvonnisevalueringsverslae en voorvonnisondersoeke is om
regters, landdroste en howe behulpsaam te wees met die bepaling van 'n gepaste
en ge"individualiseerde straf. Sonder basiese en deeglike kennis van die oortreder
as persoon sal enige verhoorhof in die duister 'n vonnis ople en die kanse vir 'n
gepaste straf sal skraal wees. Benewens die wesenlike groei en belangstelling in
voorvonnisevelueringsverslae wat deur proefbeamptes of korrektiewe beamptes
voorberei word pleit verskeie skrywers vir die gebruikmaking van hierdie evalueringsverslae
in die strafregsplegingstelsel veral wat betref jeugdiges, eerste
oortreders en ernstige oortreders. / The dissertation will attempt a theoretic fundamental exposition of the role of the
presentence evaluation as seen from a penological perspective.
With presentence evaluation they attempt to take into consideration the positive as
well as the negative elements which are present in the individual's personal and
social background for example their day-to-day behaviour.
The main purpose of the presentence evaluation report and presentence investigation
is to aid the judges, prosecutors and the court in determining a suitable and
individualized punishment. Without basic and complete knowledge of the offender
as a person the court will not be able to deliver fair judgements and the changes that
a suitable punishment will be given is limited. Due to a positive interest in this
presentence evaluation report several writers insist of making use of this evaluation
report in the criminal law justice system especially where youth, first time offenders
and major offenders are concerned. / Penology / M.A. (Penologie)

Criminological assessment of prison inmates: a constructive mechanism towards offender rehabilitationHesselink-Louw, Ann-Mari Elizabeth 30 November 2004 (has links)
This study examines offender assessment from a criminological perspective. International and national research findings, as well as the Canadian (Level of Service Inventory - Revised, LSRI-R) and the British (Offender Assessment System, OASys) offender assessment structures, are used as guidelines to illustrate the practice of offender assessment. Offender needs and risk assessment targets are examined and highlighted for general (non-specific) as well as sex and other violent offenders.
A qualitative research design, supported by explanatory, descriptive and exploratory goals, directs the methodology of this research project. Important assessment tools, such as interviewing, observation, document analysis and the application of theoretical explanations are used to assess and analyse four selected case studies (adult male offenders). These case studies are representative of the different dimensions of offender assessment, namely classification, intervention, risk management and pre-parole assessment. The offenders are individually assessed, analysed and evaluated to determine among other factors, the origin, onset, contributory factors, triggers, high-risk situations, and intervention indicators that can assist custodial therapists and the prison authorities with a more focused approach to the rehabilitation and management of offenders. Each case study is also supported by a theoretical explanation. This highlights the key role, function and contribution of criminologists in corrections, as well as the importance of a multi-fold perspective in the rehabilitation and correction of criminal behaviour. / Criminology / Thesis (D. Litt. et Phil. (Criminology))
