Boone and Maguire’s volume focuses on breach procedures, defined as ‘the processes that start with the perception of behaviour as non-compliance by a supervisor and that continue all the way to a final decision to modify the original sentence’ (p. 5). This book constitutes the final chapter of COST Action IS1106, ‘Offender Supervision in Europe’ (2012–2016). In particular, it reflects the work of the Decision-Making & Offender Supervision working group, which I initially co-chaired with Miranda Boone. Although I unfortunately had to give up my chair, I was relieved to see that my position fell into the very capable hands of Niamh Maguire. This review cannot therefore be fully objective as I have shared many intense brainstorming sessions with the book’s editors and many of its authors. It must be understood as being a form of a posteriori catch-up contribution to the working group’s fascinating enterprise. I shall not go into a detailed description of the book’s content both for fear of being too descriptive and because I truly want readers to take the time to study it, rather than limit themselves to a descriptive summary. There is simply too much depth and too many layers to this volume for a superficial skim-read. I nonetheless have to say a few words about its structure. After an initial introduction by Boone and Maguire, it is divided into two parts. Part A consists of six chapters, including a conclusion. Part A deals with essential issues such as procedural issues, and to a lesser degree, normative issues, fairness, and questions of roles, professionalism and discretion. These chapters are theoretical, but they also include some level of comparison between various European jurisdictions, along with a focus on European law. Part B comprises a more traditional, and therefore more descriptive, list of chapters pertaining to no fewer than ten jurisdictions. It is truly remarkable that the editors and authors have managed to make sense of 10 legal systems, which required them to hold rather intense discussions on language and procedural phases. The book refreshingly makes the conscious decision—which is not necessarily followed through by all the authors—to use continental law labels such as ‘convicted person’ and ‘supervised person’, which are more neutral than the classic Anglophone term ‘offender’. The book greatly benefits from this initial reflection on a 762188 EJP0010.1177/2066220318762188European Journal of ProbationBook Reviews 2018

书评:米兰达·布恩 (Miranda Boone) 和尼亚姆·马奎尔 (Niamh Maguire)(合编),《欧洲罪犯监督的执行》。了解违规过程 BooneMirandaMaguireNiamh (eds),欧洲罪犯监督的执行。了解违规过程,Routledge:Abingdon,2018 年,268 页:ISBN:978-1-138-21515-3€105 (hbk)。

Boone 和 Maguire 的著作侧重于违规程序,其定义为“从主管将行为视为不合规行为开始,一直持续到最终决定修改原始句子的过程”(第 5 页)。本书构成了 COST 行动 IS1106“欧洲罪犯监督”(2012-2016 年)的最后一章。特别是,它反映了我最初与 Miranda Boone 共同主持的决策和罪犯监督工作组的工作。虽然我不幸不得不放弃我的椅子,但看到我的职位落入了 Niamh Maguire 非常有能力的手中,我感到宽慰。因此,这篇评论不能完全客观,因为我与该书的编辑和许多作者分享了许多激烈的头脑风暴会议。它必须被理解为是对工作组令人着迷的事业的后验追赶贡献的一种形式。我不会对这本书的内容进行详细描述,既担心描述性太强,又因为我真的希望读者花时间研究它,而不是将自己限制在描述性摘要上。对于肤浅的略读,这本书有太多的深度和太多的层次。尽管如此,我还是不得不就它的结构说几句。经过 Boone 和 Maguire 的初步介绍,它分为两部分。A部分包括结论在内共六章。A 部分处理基本问题,例如程序问题,并在较小程度上处理规范问题、公平性以及角色、专业性和自由裁量权问题。这些章节是理论性的,但它们也包括不同欧洲司法管辖区之间的某种程度的比较,以及对欧洲法律的关注。B 部分包含一个更传统、因此更具描述性的章节列表,涉及不少于十个司法管辖区。编辑和作者设法理解了 10 个法律体系,这确实很了不起,这要求他们对语言和程序阶段进行相当激烈的讨论。这本书令人耳目一新地做出有意识的决定——这不一定是所有作者都遵循的——使用大陆法标签,如“被定罪的人”和“受监督的人”,这些标签比经典的英语术语“罪犯”更中性。这本书极大地受益于对 762188 EJP0010.1177/2066220318762188European Journal of ProbationBook Reviews 2018 的初步反思
