The spiritual way to desistance?

Abstract
In the years 2001-2019, the Swedish Prison and Probation Service operated religious retreat activities at the high-security prison in Kumla, to which prisoners serving long-term sentences could apply. While the activities were not specifically implemented to reduce recidivism, a process evaluation conducted in 2014-2016 showed that the participants expressed great hope that these experiences would help them desist from crime. The current study examines actual rates of desistance and recidivism among former participants in the religious activities.

The study uses data from the Swedish Prison and Probation Service covering inmates released between 2013 and 2019. Propensity score matching is applied.

Prior to matching, former inmates who participated in the religious activities were considerably less likely to be reconvicted within three years of release (37 percent) compared to those who did not participate (59 percent). After matching, however, while estimates were still indicative of a recidivistic effect, they no longer reached statistical significance. One interpretation is that given, e.g., their age and type of sentence, the participants already had such a low risk of recidivism as to make further reduction difficult to achieve.

Under åren 2001-2019 bedrev Kriminalvården i Sverige en kristen retreatverksamhet på anstalten Kumla, dit långtidsdömda fångar kunde söka sig. Det övergripande syftet med aktiviteterna var inte att minska återfall. En tidigare processutvärdering har dock visat att deltagarna var hoppfulla att deras erfarenheter från retreaterna skulle hjälpa dem att minska återfallsrisken. Syftet med den här studien är därför att analysera upphörande av brott och återfall för tidigare deltagare i klosterverksamheten.

I studien används svenska kriminalvårdsdata för alla intagna under åren 2013-2019. Analysmetoden som nyttjas är Propensity score matching.

Innan matchning visar resultatet att det var mindre vanligt att de som hade deltagit i retreatverksamheten återföll (37 procent) i jämförelse med de som inte hade deltagit (59 procent). Efter matchning gick resultatet i samma riktning, dock kunde inga signifikanta skillnader konstateras mellan grupperna. En tolkning är att deltagarna i klosterverksamheten, på grund av t ex ålder och typ av straff, redan har en låg risk för återfall, vilket gör det svårt att uppnå signifikanta skillnader.

Varetægtsfængsling og virkelighed

Abstract
According to a study published by Emelí Lönnqvist in 2023, the percentage of inmates in pre-trial detention (imprisonment on remand) in Denmark differs significantly from the other Nordic countries. This is an issue of ongoing debate among Danish defence lawyers. The present study analyses 46 cases before the City Court of Copenhagen in 2023-2024, in which the public prosecutor has requested a pre-trial detention of the person charged with an offence. It is apparent that the relevant provisions on pre-trial detention are not applied restrictively despite the fact that a pre-trial detention is a deviation from the right of personal freedom. It is also apparent that the alternatives to pre-trial detention listed in section 765(2) of the Administration of Justice Act are not applied. Furthermore, it is apparent that decisions on pre-trial detention only rarely indicate the reasons that have justified a pre-trial detention.
