Résumé :

There is considerable responsibility on the clinician to identify sex offenders who may potentially commit more serious sexually violent behaviour and an increased demand for evidence based risk assessments (Macpherson, 1997; Thomas-Peter and Warren, 1998). Offenders who commit non-contact sexual crimes are traditionally classified as harmless despite the significant minority who escalate in offence severity towards more violent sexual offending. Forty convicted male sex offenders were classified as non-contact or contact sexual recidivists. Non-contact recidivists had a history of non-contact sexual offending on two or more occasions. Contact recidivists had a history of noncontact offending and had recidivated with a contact sexual offence. Groups were compared on the Sexual Violence Risk-20 (SVR-20: Boer et al. 1997) and the Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version (PCL: SV: Hart et al. 1995). Psychosexual variables, criminal history and clinical risk factors were also coded using a multi-variable assessment model. A retrospective-prospective comparison successfully used by Quinsey et al. (1995) was performed between non-contact and contact recidivist groups. Factors that discriminated between non-contact recidivists and contact recidivists were primarily historical in nature, reflecting fixed or relatively stable characteristics. Significant differences between non-contact recidivists and contact recidivists were observed on total PCL: SV scores and psychosocial factors of the SVR-20 including sexual deviation, a history of childhood victimisation and past nonviolent offences. Contact recidivists were significantly younger than non-contact recidivists at first non-sexual offence and were significantly more likely to have a history of homosexual offending. A high level of interrater reliability on the SVR-20 and PCL: SV was observed. Suggested revisions to several iten1s of the SVR-20 and methodological considerations are reported. The research demonstrates that a progressive pattern of sexual offending from noncontact sexual offending to contact sexual offending is reliably associated with a combination of risk factors. The study offers the potential for early detection of a more serious escalation in sexual offending to allow for the possibility of supervision and clinical risk management.

This paper discusses the progress of international anti-money laundering (AML) law with regard to making tax evasion a predicate offence for the crime of money laundering (ML). This paper will focus particularly on the recent amendments that the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) made to its 40 + 9 Recommendations. The FATF Recommendations are recognised as the global AML standards. The amendments to these have resulted in tax crimes being made designated offences for ML. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the rationale behind this change and to assess the implications of bringing fiscal crimes under the AML regime.

Résumé :

This thesis investigated the relation between executive functioning and behavioural change in offenders following the Enhanced Thinking Skills (ETS) cognitive rehabilitation programme. A literature review was undertaken which investigated the relation between impaired executive functioning (IEF) and violent behaviour. It also examined and compared rehabilitation programmes available for both medical patients with impaired EF and for offenders. The review concluded that an increased propensity for aggression and violent behaviour is a possible consequence of impaired EF and that aggressive offenders are more likely than the general population to have impaired executive functioning. Medical rehabilitation strategies for aggressive patients and forensic rehabilitation strategies for violent offenders were both found to focus upon teaching skills related to executive functioning. It was therefore hypothesised that the cognitive skills rehabilitation programmes in use within the HM Prison Service may be particularly effective with offenders with IEF. An experimental study was undertaken to investigate whether behaviour change following ETS could be predicted by the offenders' IEF. It also addressed whether this predictive function was above and beyond that predicted by IQ, demographic information and social compliance. These factors were measured and entered into regression analyses, with the post ETS changes in the positive and negative scales of the Behaviour Rating Scale as the independent variables in two separate analyses. Aspects of executive functioning were found to be predictive of outcome, with those with poorer executive functioning showing the most improvement. Participantage and number of previous convictions was found to be predictive of reductions in negative behaviour but not of improvements in positive behaviour; with older participants and those with more previous convictions showing the greatest degree of improvement. The strengths and limitations of the study were then critically reviewed.

What kind of image does contemporary money laundering present? This question seemed to be answered in 2016. But its answer is difficult to learn by our country's past understanding of money laundering, so now seems to be a good time to think about money laundering in a new framework. The inadequacy of three-stage distinction of money laundering and the characteristics confirmed that the concept of money laundering in the past is indeed not in line with contemporary money laundering. After sorting out the evolution of international conventions, this paper believes that we should say goodbye to the thinking of judicial-prosecution-protection in the past and think about money laundering with a cash flow management attitude. Such an attitude is not unique to Taiwan. Foreign law also has a money laundering system based on such ideas. This article introduces and analyzes the anti-money laundering networks of Germany and the United States, including the core money laundering offences and the extension of the predicate measures. The predicate measures can be further divided into front-end preventive measures and back-end preventive recidivism measures. The former refers to various obligations imposed on individuals or financial institutions; the latter refers to various special forfeiture. The core of the Germany and the United States for the prevention and control of money laundering has also created a different thinking of money laundering and prevention. The difference between two countries also represents the wrestling of two different core thinking. This kind of wrestling can provide Taiwan rich comparative resources. After ending the comparison of foreign laws, this article then analyzes the new anti-money laundering act in 2016. The same is the case of money laundering, predicate measures (including front-end preventive measures and back-end preventive recidivism measures). In this paper, the financial relationship network is taken as the core, and these three blocks are criticized with the financial relationship network. In conclusion, this paper believes that we should carefully examine the differences between Taiwan and the US anti-money laundering network, and carefully consider the part of the criminal procedure law involved in this amendment to avoid the problems that money laundering may encounter in the criminal prosecution process.

Résumé :

Magister Legum - LLM
The law relating to money laundering is not a new branch of law although it seems to be just emerging in this modern era of advanced technology and organised crime. It evolved in the 18th century with the case of Rex v William Kidd et al1 from the so-called golden age of piracy. With the increase in the sophistication of the world economy, the techniques of money laundering have become correspondingly complex, leading to incoherent and uneven prosecutorial policies with regard to crimes related to money laundering. This is specially so in developing African countries like Zambia, where the legal system is still evolving on this terrain. Inevitably, a lot of pertinent legal issues and impediments remain unresolved, particularly when prosecuting highcalibred white collar perpetrators such as former heads of state.

Résumé :

This study focuses on examining the security implications of money laundering and countermeasures, with reference to South Africa. The purpose of this study was to establish the following:

What is the extent, and what are the security implications of money laundering in South Africa;
whether the current money laundering countermeasures in South Africa were effectively implemented from 1994 up to the end of 2006;
if South Africa could implement better money laundering controls when compared to the G7/8 countries; and
what the factors were that influenced money laundering in South Africa, compared to the G7/8 countries

This study also examined the validity of the following assumptions:

That there are still shortcomings in the practical application of money laundering countermeasures in South Africa, despite these countermeasures being based on the legislative measures adopted by the G7/8 countries; and
money laundering promotes crime and corruption in South Africa.

An analysis of the South African anti-money laundering legislation indicated that South Africa had legislatively adopted all of the Financial Action Task Force money laundering recommendations. It was found that despite the strong legislative framework to combat money laundering in South Africa, these efforts were undermined by a lack of capacity; poor coordination that led to a large volume of reports being filed without a corresponding track record of successful prosecutions; and the failure to adopt advances in information technology. This led to a lack of effectively and efficiently translating the anti-money laundering legislation into practice in South Africa.

Résumé :

The most challenging and spoken criminal phenomenon today is indisputably organised crime. It is a crime that both the general public, business community, commentators, researchers, scholars, journalists, writers, politicians, prosecutors, jurists and presiding officials debate with different interpretation and understanding of the concept as well as the manifestation of the phenomena. Debates on the subject have seen the dawn of rival terminologies of organised crime and crimes that are organised. While the United Nations has not assisted the nations in finding a definition of what organised crime is, the confusion has spread throughout the globe and South Africa has not been spared the pandemonium. The objective of this study is to comparatively assess the present understanding and setup in South Africa in comparison with Italy, Tanzania and the United States of America, identify the root causes of the confusion and find possible remedies to liberate the situation. The research concludes with the findings and recommendations.

« Different Dimensions of Anxiety Differentially Predict Binge Drinking among Juvenile Offenders ». Master's thesis, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.25890.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

abstract: Although research has documented robust prospective relationships between externalizing symptomatology and subsequent binge drinking among adolescents, the extent to which internalizing symptoms increase risk for drinking remains controversial. In particular, the role of anxiety as a predictor of binge drinking remains unclear. Recent evidence suggests that one possible reason for these mixed findings is that separate dimensions of anxiety may differentially confer risk for alcohol use. The present study tested two dimensions of anxiety - worry and physiological anxiety -- as predictors of binge drinking in a longitudinal study of juvenile delinquents. Overall, results indicate that worry and physiological anxiety showed differential relations with drinking behavior. In general, worry was protective against alcohol use, whereas physiological anxiety conferred risk for binge drinking, but both effects were conditional on levels of offending. Implications for future research examining the role of anxiety in predicting drinking behavior among youth are discussed.

Résumé :

The Crime of Money Laundering under Section 216 of the Czech Criminal Code Abstract The diploma thesis aims to examine the crime of legalization of proceeds of criminal activities in its narrower sense, i.e. the crime under S. 216 (2) of the Czech Criminal Code. This crime is referred to as "the crime of money laundering" throughout the thesis, as opposed to the crime of possession of stolen goods under S. 2016 (1) of the Czech Criminal Code. The opening chapter reviews the terminology used by Czech law. Then the thesis briefly addresses the phenomenon of money laundering in a broader context; this chapter also provides with statistics of criminal prosecutions for the named crime in the Czech Republic. In a separate chapter, the thesis names some of the most essential international documents adopted in the area of combating money laundering so far. The thesis then describes and evaluates the evolution of the crime of money laundering under Czech criminal law, namely regarding the respective amendments of the law. The following chapter then analyses the most significant elements of the crime of money laundering, and as such, it represents the centrepiece of the thesis. From this analysis, several important and disputed questions arise and are examined further. The thesis emphasizes e.g. the issue of...

A sample of stranger rape cases (n = 215) registered in Taipei and Kaohsiung Prison, Agency of Corrections, Ministry of Justice was studied with the objective of developing predicting models, which were used to estimate the feasibility to predict sex offender traits from the crime characteristics of sexual assault ceses. Crime characteristics concerning victim characteristics, crime behavior characteristics, and crime scene characteristics were selected in the cases data. Among the three categories of crime characteristics, the researcher designed 16 items. Offender characteristics were selected based on the usefulness for the investigators in narrowing the scope of a criminal investigation. Age, education level, marriage situations, and crime records of the offenders were selected. The Homology Assumption, one assumption of Criminal Profiling, was used to construct the predicting model. The researcher found that some items among the three categories of crime characteristics could be used to predict the age, education level, marriage situations, and crime records of the offenders. By the results of Discriminant analysis, the predicting accuracy of education level below the elementary school, education level over the junior college, crime records, sexual assaults records, violent offences, and theft records were over 70%. However, for an further understanding of the relationship between the crime characteristics and offender characteristics, the data about victims should be shared properly and the establishment of the database of the sexual assault is urgently necessary.

Nowadays the current assessment of sexual offense recidivism mainly uses the recidivism assessment scale based on risk factors. However recent neuropsychological studies show that the frontal lobe functioning has something to do with sexual offense and recidivism. Therefore, the current research attempts to improve overall reliability of sexual offense recidivism assessment by using WCST test which is designed to measure the executive functioning of frontal lobe. In addition, this research intends to examine the correlation between cognitive perseverative scores in the WCST and Static-99 scores. Total 77 participants were recruited which including non-pedophilia 30 persons, pedophilia 19 persons, other crime offenders 9 persons, and community people 19 persons. This research result shows that significant poor functioning in sexual offenders, which reflect in the scores of perseverativ error and categories completed on WCST-CV4, nevertheless there is no significant difference between non-pedophilia and pedophilia. Besides, it does not show relationships between scores in WCST-CV4 and in the Static-99. The implications are discussed.

« Does Neighborhood Ethnic Concentration Interact with Ethnic Identity, Mexican Orientation, or Generation Status to Predict Recidivism among Mexican American Juvenile Offenders ? » Master's thesis, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.48479.

Résumé :

abstract: Ethnic enclaves, or neighborhoods with high ethnic densities, have been linked with positive health outcomes and lower crime rates. Using data from the Pathways to Desistance project, this study tested whether neighborhood Latino concentration prospectively predicted re-offense rates among a sample of Mexican American juvenile offenders (n = 247). Further, I tested whether the effect of neighborhood Latino concentration on re-offense was moderated by ethnic identity, Mexican orientation, and generation status. Covariates included demographics and risk factors for offending. Results showed that neighborhood Latino concentration, ethnic identity, Mexican orientation, and generation status were not predictive of re-offense rates. Gender, risk for offending, and time spent supervised during the follow-up period predicted re-offense rates one year later. The results highlight the importance of risk assessment for this high risk group.

Résumé :

In Oregon, "Incompetent to Stand Trial (1ST) Patients" were observed to be increasing in number, remaining in the hospital longer, and costing more to treat. A study was designed to investigate variables that could be used to predict their length of stay at Oregon State Hospital. Data for thirteen independent variables (gender, age, having an Axis I psychosis level diagnosis, having an Axis I substance-related diagnosis, having an Axis II personality disorder diagnosis, evidence of involuntary medications, being on atypical medications at discharge, number of seclusion and restraint events, number of felony charges, number of misdemeanor charges, and number of inter-ward transfers) and one dependent variable (length of stay) were analyzed for 198 1ST patients discharged from Oregon State Hospital between January, 1999 and December, 2001. Bivariate correlations for all variables, and length of stay (LOS) means for all levels of each variable were examined and discussed. A standard multiple regression analysis was performed. The regression model accounted for 36.5% (32.7% adjusted) of the variability in (log) LOS. R for regression was found to be significantly different from zero. Five variables were found to be significant contributors to explaining the variability in (log) LOS: (square root) number of inter-ward transfers (16%), gender (5.8%), evidence of involuntary medications (5.2%), (square root) number of felony charges (2.8%), and (square root) number of seclusion and restraint events (1.6%). Despite accounting for more variability in LOS than several previous studies with psychiatric patients, 67.3% of the variability was unaccounted for by the regression model. Unstandardized regression coefficients for untransformed variables were interpreted, revealing that gender, number of inter-ward transfers, and evidence of involuntary medications significantly predicted the largest increases in LOS. Recommendations were made for further research related to LOS of 1ST patients.
