Purpose – This paper aims to explore the influence of Facility management (FM) on detainee behaviour and responsiveness. The expected outcome of this research is that FM can contribute to the re-socialization by actively using facility design and detainee activities to positively influence their social behaviour.Design / methodology / approach – This current explorative study has been qualitative in nature, including desk research, literature study in relation to healing environment, walk through, observations and interviews with prison managers and facility staff. For this study, a comparison has been made between two correctional institutions. One correctional institution is situated in a rural setting with a building design dating from the early 20th century. The second building is located in an urban area and dates back to the 1990s.Findings - This study shows that there is little to no sources found which describes how FM can actually contribute and add value to rehabilitation of detainees. From the literature study, the observations and exploratory interviews, the conclusion is that FM influences the behaviour of people. Further research could contribute to this emerging area in FM.Practical implications – At this moment the Custodial Institution - Dienst Justitiële Inrichtingen (DJI) - is developing a master plan which will lead to a reassessment of the housing policy within DJI. Initially, DJI will have to formulate a new definition of the minimum level of humane detention in relation to FM.Originality / value – This study may support DJI in the upcoming organizational change. It will provide DJI with the opportunity to perform additional research in order to deliver to society evidence on the influence and impact of FM on detainees.

This article is about the effect of local tailored interventions to counter (violent) extremism, and therefore contributes to the academic and policy debates. It focusses on local, professional perspectives on person-specific interventions utilising a Dutch case study as the basis. The interventions are part of the wider-ranging counter terrorism policy that entails (local) measures that are deployed in relation to designated high-risk individuals and groups. By reviewing policy documents and conducting semi-structured interviews, the exploratory study concludes that the key factors for a hand-tailored intervention are a solid network, expert knowledge to assess potential signs of extremist ideology, an awareness of not having too many concurrent measures, good inter-institutional cooperation and information-sharing. The professionals involved felt that person-specific interventions have contributed to reducing the threat of religious extremism in the Netherlands. Nonetheless, municipal officials and security agents emphasised the importance of setting realistic goals and a focus on preventive rather than repressive measures. Furthermore, despite the central role that municipal actors play, they run up against problems such as cooperation within the security and care sector. National entities appear to emphasize information-gathering and monitoring more than community-focused cooperation. Thereby questioning whether, on the national level, local professionals are perceived as playing a key role in dealing with extremism.

This paper is a case report of why and how CDIO became a shared framework for Community Service Engineering (CSE) education. CSE can be defined as the engineering of products, product-service combinations or services that fulfill well-being and health needs in the social domain, specifically for vulnerable groups in society. The vulnerable groups in society are growing, while fewer people work in health care. Finding technical, interdisciplinary solutions for their unmet needs is the territory of the Community Service Engineer. These unmet needs arise in local niche markets as well as in the global community, which makes it an interesting area for innovation and collaboration in an international setting. Therefore, five universities from Belgium, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Sweden decided to work together as hubs in local innovation networks to create international innovation power. The aim of the project is to develop education on undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate levels. The partners are not aiming at a joined degree or diploma, but offer a shared short track blended course (3EC), which each partner can supplement with their own courses or projects (up to 30EC). The blended curriculum in CSE is based on design thinking principles. Resources are shared and collaboration between students and staff is organized at different levels. CDIO was chosen as the common framework and the syllabus 2.0 was used as a blueprint for the CSE learning goals in each university. CSE projects are characterized by an interdisciplinary, human centered approach leading to inter-faculty collaboration. At the university of Porto, EUR-ACE was already used as the engineering education framework, so a translation table was used to facilitate common development. Even though Thomas More and KU Leuven are no CDIO partner, their choice for design thinking as the leading method in the post-Masters pilot course insured a good fit with the CDIO syllabus. At this point University West is applying for CDIO and they are yet to discover what the adaptation means for their programs and their emerging CSE initiatives. CDIO proved to fit well to in the authentic open innovation network context in which engineering students actively do CSE projects. CDIO became the common language and means to continuously improve the quality of the CSE curriculum.

In de periode oktober 2019 - juli 2020 heeft de Hogeschool Utrecht in opdracht van de drie reclasseringsorganisaties (3RO) een onderzoek uitgevoerd naar vrijwilligerswerk bij de reclassering. Doel van dit onderzoek is vast te stellen op welke wijze vrijwilligers van meerwaarde kunnen zijn voor de doelen van een reclasseringstraject. De aanleiding was dat de reclassering op meer structurele wijze invulling wilde gaan geven aan de inzet van vrijwilligers in de organisatie. Deze ambitie is in lijn met het Regeerakkoord 2017-2021, waarin staat dat bij de ten uitvoerlegging van straffen en maatregelen, resocialisatie en reclassering steviger worden gepositioneerd. In januari 2020 heeft de reclassering een visie ontwikkeld over hoe vrijwilligersinzet in het reclasseringswerk in de toekomst vormgegeven kan worden (Reclassering Nederland & Bureau Buitenland, 2020). In deze visie staat centraal welke samenwerkingsvorm met vrijwilligersorganisaties het meest geschikt zou zijn voor de reclassering. Naast dit inrichtingsvraagstuk wil de reclassering inhoudelijke vragen oppakken. Relevante vragen voor dit onderzoek zijn welke activiteiten vrijwilligers uitvoeren voor reclasseringscliënten en welke doelen zij daarmee beogen; op welke wijze vrijwilligers, professionals (reclasseringswerkers) en cliënten samenwerken en hoe zij deze samenwerking waarderen; welke meerwaarde vrijwilligers, professionals en cliënten ervaren ten aanzien van vrijwilligerswerk bij de reclassering en of er knelpunten zijn.

Er verschijnen doorgaans minder vrouwen dan mannen voor de rechter en het overgrote deel van de justitiële en forensisch psychiatrische instellingen wordt bevolkt door mannen. In de literatuur naar voorspellers van crimineel gedrag komt ‘man zijn’ steevast naar voren als één van de sterkste voorspellers. Hoewel vrouwen en meisjes een duidelijke minderheid vormen binnen justitiële en forensische psychiatrische instellingen (tussen de 6 en 10%), lijkt hun aandeel in de criminaliteit de laatste 20 jaar toe te nemen. Wereldwijd wordt gezien dat er meer vrouwen worden veroordeeld en gedetineerd of opgenomen in de forensische zorg (zie de Vogel & Nicholls, 2016; Walmsley, 2015). De laatste jaren is er dan ook beduidend meer aandacht gekomen voor de vrouw als dader.1 Het meeste onderzoek naar criminologische en forensisch psychologische vraagstukken is echter nog altijd verricht binnen mannelijke populaties. De vraag is dan ook of de huidige theoretische en empirische kennis over mannelijke daders wel voldoende van toepassing is op vrouwelijke daders en wat mogelijke verschillen betekenen voor de sanctietoepassing.

Women and girls represent only a minority in the penitentiary system and in forensic mental health care. About 6%–10% of both prison and forensic psychiatric populations in Western countries comprise women (see for the most recent offi cial statistics in the UK w ww.gov. uk/government, in Canada w ww.statcan.gc.ca, and in the US w ww.bjs.gov) . However, there seems to be widespread agreement that in the past 20 years female offending has been on the rise, especially violent offending and particularly among young women ( Miller, Malone, and Dodge, 2010; M oretti, Catchpole, and Odgers, 2005) . Overall, a disproportionate growth of females entering the criminal justice system and forensic mental health care has been observed in many countries (for reviews, see Nicholls, Cruise, Greig, and Hinz, 2015; Odgers, Moretti, and Reppucci, 2005 ; Walmsley, 2015) . In addition, it should be noted that the ‘dark number’ for women is suggested to be bigger than for men. Offi cial prevalence rates of female offending might constitute an underestimation as women usually commit less reported offences, for example, domestic violence (N icholls, Greaves, Greig, and Moretti, 2015) . Furthermore, it has been found that – if apprehended – girls and women are treated more leniently by professionals and the criminal justice system. Generally, they receive lower prison sentences and are more often admitted to civil psychiatric institutions instead of receiving a prison sentence or mandatory forensic treatment after committing violence ( Javdani, Sadeh, and Verona, 2011 ; Jeffries, Fletcher, and Newbold, 2003 ). Hence, although female offenders compared to male offenders are a minority, female violence is a substantial problem that deserves more attention. Our understanding of female offenders is hindered by the general paucity of theoretical and empirical investigations of this population. In order to improve current treatment and assessment practices, our knowledge and understanding of female offenders should be enlarged and optimised (d e Vogel and Nicholls, 2016 ).

In Haftanstalten und Maßregelvollzugskliniken sind Frauen in der Minderheit. Daher überrascht es nicht, dass die meisten Instrumente zur Einschätzung von Rückfallrisiken für Männer entwickelt und an ihnen erprobt wurden. Erst seit einigen Jahren hat man den Eigenschaften und Risikofaktoren straffälliger Frauen mehr Beachtung gezollt und untersucht, was für ihre Behandlung erforderlich ist. Untersuchungen zeigten, dass die standardmäßig angewandten Prognoseinstrumente zur Vorhersage gewalttätigen Handelns bei Frauen weniger brauchbare Ergebnisse lieferten als bei Männern. Um Risiken bei Frauen zu prognostizieren und entsprechende Interventionen zur Rückfallprävention zu entwickeln, bedarf es weiterer Forschung. Das ist nicht nur für die Frauen selbst und für die Gesellschaft entscheidend, sondern auch für den sozialen Kontext der Frauen, insbesondere für deren Kinder.

Most violence risk assessment tools have been validated predominantly in males. In this multicenter study, the Historical, Clinical, Risk Management–20 (HCR-20), Historical, Clinical, Risk Management–20 Version 3 (HCR-20V3), Female Additional Manual (FAM), Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability (START), Structured Assessment of Protective Factors for violence risk (SAPROF), and Psychopathy Checklist–Revised (PCL-R) were coded on file information of 78 female forensic psychiatric patients discharged between 1993 and 2012 with a mean follow-up period of 11.8 years from one of four Dutch forensic psychiatric hospitals. Notable was the high rate of mortality (17.9%) and readmission to psychiatric settings (11.5%) after discharge. Official reconviction data could be retrieved from the Ministry of Justice and Security for 71 women. Twenty-four women (33.8%) were reconvicted after discharge, including 13 for violent offenses (18.3%). Overall, predictive validity was moderate for all types of recidivism, but low for violence. The START Vulnerability scores, HCR-20V3, and FAM showed the highest predictive accuracy for all recidivism. With respect to violent recidivism, only the START Vulnerability scores and the Clinical scale of the HCR-20V3 demonstrated significant predictive accuracy.
