“…Criminalization is likely to affect (already scarce) employment opportunities as people with criminal records are less likely to get a decent job and have to continue the criminal activity, including drug dealing (Bretteville-Jensen et al, 2017;Kurtovic & Rovira, 2017). This was stressed particularly by migrants living in Italy who saw that they needed a change in their structural conditions to enable them to stay away from drugs and crime.…”

The aim of this paper is to assess to what extent prohibitive drug policies hamper the management of drug problems from the perspective of young people who have experience with the criminal justice systems (CJS). Qualitative, in-depth interviews were carried out in six European countries (Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the UK) following a common interview guide to obtain comparative data on the life trajectories of drug experienced youth. Altogether 198 interviews with people aged 14-25 years were collected and analysed by national teams following a common coding book. Unintended consequences of drug policies for the individual and society were identified. Individual consequences included health consequences and traumatic experiences with law enforcement. Social consequences included those affecting social relations such as stigmatisation and those impacting on institutions, for example, focusing on drug use and neglecting other problems. This paper confirmed earlier research indicating unintended consequences of prohibitive drug policies but also added to the literature its cross-national perspective and use of young people narratives as a source of analyses. There are, however, policy measures available that may reduce the volume and range of unintended effects. Their implementation is crucial to reduce the array of unintended consequences of prohibitive drug policies.

En esta línea, los estudios más recientes destacan especialmente las dificultades en la reinserción laboral de las personas excarceladas, así como los mecanismos de autoexclusión que sufren 22 .

Examinar la validez predictiva de la guía HCR-20 (The Historical Clinical Risk Management-20) para predecir futuros incidentes violentos en una muestra representativa de pacientes con trastorno mental grave y con antecedentes de ingreso previo en prisión, que tras la excarcelación presentan una situación de exclusión social extrema. Material y método: La muestra del estudio se seleccionó de los 235 pacientes atendidos por el Equipo de Calle de Salud Mental (ECASAM) de Madrid, desde junio de 2014 hasta junio de 2017, incluyendo finalmente a aquellos con antecedentes de un internamiento previo en un establecimiento penitenciario, sobre los que posteriormente se cumplimentó la HCR-20. Resultados: De los 44 pacientes incluidos, un 29,6% (n=13) terminaron protagonizando un incidente violento tras la excarcelación. El análisis de curvas ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) indicó que la puntuación total de la HCR-20 (área bajo la curva o AUC: 0,98, p = 0,01) tiene una alta validez predictiva. Conclusiones: Los cambios sociosanitarios que se van a producir tras la excarcelación de los pacientes con trastorno mental grave justifican la necesidad de revaluar el riesgo de violencia. En esta evaluación, la aplicación de la guía HCR-20 resulta una útil herramienta para predecir el riesgo de protagonizar futuros incidentes violentos, siendo especialmente relevante la consideración de factores como la exclusión social y sus consecuencias, así como los problemas con el consumo de sustancias.

“…Some of the reasons for varying approaches to criminal records internationally can be explained by different socio-cultural contexts and the distinctions between common law and civil law systems (Jacobs and Larrauri 2012). They are also reflective of different approaches and attitudes towards privacy and rehabilitation (Kurtovic and Rovira 2017), and towards children and young people. Comparative analysis of the treatment of juvenile criminal records shows that many European countries treat records acquired as a child as confidential, meaning that they cannot be disclosed to third parties or in subsequent criminal proceedings when the child attains adulthood (Jehle et al 2008;Carr et al 2015).…”

The albatross of juvenile criminal records NICOLA CARR ...a regime which condemned people to suffer, like an albatross which they could never shake off, permanent adverse consequences of ancient wrong-doing notwithstanding completion of the ostensible punishment (if any) and irrespective of its continuing significance. 1 Ah/ well a-day! what evil looks Had I from old and young! Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck was hung. (The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Samuel Taylor Coleridge) I. INTRODUCTIONWithin the United Kingdom, an increasing emphasis on public protection evident in criminal justice and wider social policy has formed the background for the expansion of a criminal record regime which allows for the disclosure of old criminal records and even non-conviction information. Examples of disclosures on criminal record certificates include information on investigations that did not proceed to prosecution, circumstances where a person has been acquitted of an offence (ie where they are found to be legally innocent), and other background information considered to be relevant. The justification for such an intrusion on a person's private life is that it serves a wider public interest on the basis that disclosure of such information may prevent future harm.The criminal record schemes in the various jurisdictions of the United Kingdom (England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) are notable in their breadth and stand in contrast to other European countries where access to criminal records is much more restricted and a greater emphasis is placed on their private nature (Jacobs and Larrauri 2012; Larrauri 2014c; Kurtovic and Rovira 2017). In most European countries, a criminal record is considered to be a private matter and therefore not subject to public disclosure (Jacobs and Larrauri 2012). This principle 1 (Lord Wilson at para. 48) R (on the application of T and another) v Secretary of State for the Home Department and another [2014 UKSC 35]
