120239.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access)Patrick Kenis, Peter M. Kruyen and Joan M.J. Baaijens Traditionally, prisons are unbendable, non-creative places. Because security is their primary function, they are designed to be predictable, and both prisoners’ and officers’ behaviour is standardized (Kommer 1991). In a pilot project, policy-makers and engineers of the Dutch Ministry of Justice designed both the physical space and social structure of the prison with these priorities in mind. As the chapter concerns a politically sensitive project, we have chosen to keep the name of the prison anonymous. In what follows we will call the prison ‘P’. It was the purpose of this pilot to standardize the work processes of the officers even more than they typically are in existing Dutch prisons. However, the officers and supervisor in Prison P reconstructed the social structure and physical space in a way that encouraged considerable team creativity for the officers. This chapter chronicles this evolution. In the first section we introduce Prison P as it was originally conceived and designed by policy-makers and engineers. Next, we introduce the methods we used to study the prison. Then, based on the data we collected and analysed, we demonstrate how the new design enabled the development of creativity in this setting. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for understanding creativity in organizations, while also presenting some limitations of our study and directions for future research
Criminal anthropology of mariticide in Russia. Foreword to the article by P.N. Tarnovskaya “Female criminality in connection with early marriages”
No full textObjective: to provide a general overview of the content of P.N. Tarnovskaya’s article “Female criminality in connection with early marriages”, to determine its place in its author’s heritage and its scientific value for modern criminology.Methods: the general scientific method of dialectical cognition, comparison, as well as the formal logical method (deduction, induction, definition and division of concepts).Results: having analyzed the content of P.N. Tarnovskaya’s article, the author determined its significance as the initial stage of forming her anthropological concept in the study of female murderers. The author specified the sections of P.N. Tarnovskaya’s monograph “Women-murderers” (1902), which use the results of the research described in the article under study. The author refuted the opinion, previously prevailing in Russian criminology, that anthropological research by P.N. Tarnovskaya was supposed to use biological means to prevent crime. On the contrary, in this work Tarnovskaya recommended changing the social environment to curb female criminality (mariticide), namely, abandoning the widespread early marriages of adolescent women before the end of puberty.Scientific novelty: for the first time, the author gives a criminological assessment of P.N. Tarnovskaya’s article “Female criminality in connection with early marriages” and indicates its links with her subsequent works.Practical significance: the results obtained make it possible to change the perception of research by P.N. Tarnovskaya’s as one of the founders of world criminological science. In her concept of crime prevention, the impact on general social factors on female criminality was considered fundamental for the prevention of women’s deviant behavior
