Destiné à devenir une référence en sociologie de l'administration de la justice pénale, cet ouvrage est construit sur le double sens du mot « condamner » : ce mot désigne bien sûr la pratique spécifique des tribunaux voués à la condamnation des auteurs d'infractions, mais aussi l'orientation de l'ensemble des activités du système pénal. L'auteur présente des outils d'analyse des pratiques pénales, en suivant une démarche progressive, allant de la perspective la plus impersonnelle (systémique), vers une approche de sociologie morale, en passant par des ressources de la sociologie des organisations et du travail. La thèse qui justifie une telle démarche se décline de la façon suivante : - le système pénal est loin de fonctionner « à la loi » ; - les pratiques des agents, qu'elles respectent ou non la loi, relèvent d'un arbitrage entre les normes légales et des normes organisationnelles et professionnelles qui se concurrencent et, parfois, se contredisent ; - il importe donc d'examiner les normes mais aussi les justifications de l'action dans les cas d'arbitrages pratiques des juges du tribunal correctionnel dont l'ethos professionnel a été empiriquement approché par l'auteur. Loin des stéréotypes juridiques et médiatiques, ce livre permet de comprendre une pratique, le système dans lequel elle s'inscrit et les normes qui la façonnent.

"This book represents a critical examination of key aspects of crime and criminal justice in Northern Ireland which will have resonance elsewhere. It considers the core aspects of criminal justice policymaking in Northern Ireland which are central to the process of post-conflict transition, including reform of policing, judicial decision-making and correctional services such as probation and prisons. It examines contemporary trends in criminal justice in Northern Ireland as related to various dimensions of crime relating to female offenders, young offenders, sexual and violent offenders, race and criminal justice, community safety and restorative justice. The book also considers the extent to which crime and criminal justice issues in Northern Ireland are being affected by the broader processes of 'policy transfer', globalisation and transnationalism and the extent to which criminal justice in Northern Ireland is divergent from the other jurisdictions in the United Kingdom. Written by leading international authorities in the field, the book offers a snapshot of the cutting edge of critical thinking in criminal justice practice and transitional justice contexts."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

International organisations, national governments and human rights NGOs exercise various types of monitoring of the penitentiary systems. In order to quantify their results, there are some generally accepted indicators (such as the number of inmates per 100.000 citizens), but in many specific areas like healthcare, employment, security and safety, such indicators have never been applied. Therefore, those monitoring efforts will substantially benefit from an instrument capable of supplying comparable and easy-to-use data on the situation in prisons. To address this need, the Center for the Study of Democracy, in cooperation with the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, the Observatory on the Penal System and Human Rights with the University of Barcelona, the Law Institute of Lithuania and Association Droit au Droit, developed a Prison Conditions Monitoring Index (PCMI) - a system of indicators translating into comparable figures the situation in different prisons. In the end of 2014, the PCMI was piloted in several prisons in Bulgaria, Germany and Lithuania to test its operability and analyse the potential use of the results it generates. The present report elaborates on the methodology underlying the PCMI and offers a summary of the results of its pilot implementation. It is intended for a broad audience of readers including policy makers, prison staff, lawyers, social workers, academics and NGOs interested in the topic of prison monitoring.
