Book Description
La Ley Orgánica 5/2000, de 12 de enero, reguladora de la responsabilidad penal de los menores, representa la respuesta de la sociedad y el legislador al tratamiento diferenciado de la delincuencia cometida por los menores y jóvenes en edades entre los 14 y 21 años, partiendo del principio del superior interés del menor, las garantías de nuestro ordenamiento constitucional y las normas de Derecho internacional, especialmente la Convención de los Derechos del Niño. La regulación expresa de la responsabilidad penal de los menores en una ley independiente del Código Penal se asienta en el carácter primordial de la intervención educativa, que trasciende el procedimiento y las sanciones aplicables. Partiendo de este texto legislativo, esta obra pretende afrontar el análisis de la delincuencia juvenil en España buscando respuestas a variadas cuestiones de orden social (conocimiento de cifras de criminalidad juvenil e intervención preventiva de las ciencias psicosociales), jurídico (naturaleza y principios de un modelo de justicia juvenil y un estudio de derecho comparado), procesal (regulación concreta del procedimiento en los Juzgados de Menores y actuación de sus protagonistas), las alternativas a la intervención judicial (programas de mediación) y, finalmente, penológico (la imposición y ejecución de las medidas impuestas por el juez de menores y la participación de las Comunidades Autonómicas. Especialmente se tratan en éste libro los programas de menores en conflicto en Castilla-La Mancha). Con todo, este estudio interdisciplinario quedaría incompleto si no abordara la problemática de la inserción del joven que ha cumplido la medida impuesta y que debe integrarse plenamente en la sociedad con las máximas oportundidades de desarrollo pleno. Desde este fin es imprescindible fomentar y apoyar los planes de las Comunidades Autonómicas y entidades colaboradoras dirigidos a la inserción laboral y autonomía personal del menor infractor.

Book Description
Cities of Tomorrow is a critical history of planning in theory and practice in the twentieth century, as well as of the social and economic problems and opportunities that gave rise to it. Trenchant, perceptive, global in coverage, this book is an unrivalled account of its crucial subject. The third edition of Cities of Tomorrow is comprehensively revised to take account of abundant new literature published since its original appearance, and to view the 1990s in historical perspective. This is the definitive edition, reviewing the development of the modern planning movement over the entire span of the twentieth century.

Book Description
A theme that has persisted throughout the history of American corrections is that efforts should be made to reform offenders. In particular, at the beginning of the 1900s, the rehabilitative ideal was enthusiastically trumpeted and helped to direct the renovation of the correctional system (e.g., implementation of indeterminate sentencing, parole, probation, a separate juvenile justice system). For the next seven decades, offender treatment reigned as the dominant correctional philosophy. Then, in the early 1970s, rehabilitation suffered a precipitous reversal of fortune. The larger disruptions in American society in this era prompted a general critique of the “state run” criminal justice system. Rehabilitation was blamed by liberals for allowing the state to act coercively against offenders, and was blamed by conservatives for allowing the state to act leniently toward offenders. In this context, the death knell of rehabilitation was seemingly sounded by Robert Martinson's (1974b) influential “nothing works” essay, which reported that few treatment programs reduced recidivism. This review of evaluation studies gave legitimacy to the antitreatment sentiments of the day; it ostensibly “proved” what everyone “already knew”: Rehabilitation did not work. In the subsequent quarter century, a growing revisionist movement has questioned Martinson's portrayal of the empirical status of the effectiveness of treatment interventions. Through painstaking literature reviews, these revisionist scholars have shown that many correctional treatment programs are effective in decreasing recidivism. More recently, they have undertaken more sophisticated quantitative syntheses of an increasing body of evaluation studies through a technique called “meta-analysis.” These meta-analyses reveal that across evaluation studies, the recidivism rate is, on average, 10 percentage points lower for the treatment group than for the control group. However, this research has also suggested that some correctional interventions have no effect on offender criminality (e.g., punishment-oriented programs), while others achieve substantial reductions in recidivism (i.e., approximately 25 percent). This variation in program success has led to a search for those “principles” that distinguish effective treatment interventions from ineffective ones. There is theoretical and empirical support for the conclusion that the rehabilitation programs that achieve the greatest reductions in recidivism use cognitive-behavioral treatments, target known predictors of crime for change, and intervene mainly with high-risk offenders. “Multisystemic treatment” is a concrete example of an effective program that largely conforms to these principles. In the time ahead, it would appear prudent that correctional policy and practice be “evidence based.” Knowledgeable about the extant research, policymakers would embrace the view that rehabilitation programs, informed by the principles of effective intervention, can “work” to reduce recidivism and thus can help foster public safety. By reaffirming rehabilitation, they would also be pursuing a policy that is consistent with public opinion research showing that Americans continue to believe that offender treatment should be an integral goal of the correctional system.

Book Description
This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
