We argue that although the existing legal framework imposes numerous employment restrictions on individuals with criminal records, these formal limitations are not the primary cause of their employment difficulties. Rather, entrenched employment discrimination—transmitted from the state to the market—constitutes the most significant barrier to their reintegration into the labor force. Moreover, the experience of criminal punishment diminishes individuals’ employment capabilities, while the enduring nature of the criminal record undermines the potential benefits of personal attributes such as skills, health, and social networks. This latter dynamic represents a secondary barrier to successful reemployment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46026,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Law Crime and Justice","volume":"82 ","pages":"Article 100772"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144863681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through qualitative research at urban and rural temple sites involving 29 participants (probation officers, volunteers, monks, and probationers). Three key findings were identified: First, temples create hybrid fields where different forms of capital facilitate rehabilitation by reconfiguring penal authority through combining formal oversight with spiritual guidance. Second, Buddhist meditation practices and ethical teachings serve as alternative rehabilitation resources, providing “transcendent moral anchors” for behavioral change that address internal patterns underlying problematic behaviors rather than external compliance alone. Third, vocational training and community integration activities represent capital conversion, wherein temples' social capital facilitates access to legitimate economic opportunities while reducing stigma through community reintegration. The temples' cultural authority enhances rehabilitation legitimacy while creating “moral locales” where supervision transitions from bureaucratic compliance to moral reintegration. Despite resource disparities between urban and rural settings and tensions between religious and bureaucratic approaches, the temple-based model demonstrates how cultural institutions effectively support judicial objectives while addressing limitations in conventional probation. This research contributes to understanding culturally embedded rehabilitation approaches and offers insights for developing probation systems that leverage existing community institutions to enhance rehabilitation outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46026,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Law Crime and Justice","volume":"82 ","pages":"Article 100768"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144535688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evolution of China's criminal justice system provides a unique natural experiment for disentangling the underlying sources of this disparity. An empirical analysis of China's 442,873 theft case judgments between 2014 and 2020 reveals that compared to pre-implementation, defendants who do not plead guilty are subject to a 5.3 %–6.3 % increase in their custodial sentences, more fines, and a reduced probability of receiving probation. Further analysis reveals that the penalty effect is associated with the severity of the crime and processing efficiency. Within the framework of focal concerns theory, one possible explanation is that defendants who refuse to plead guilty are perceived as more dangerous, culpable, and less amenable to rehabilitation, while demands for efficiency and performance appraisal function as significant practical constraints. Our findings enable a deeper understanding of China's Plea Leniency System and the nature of plea-trial sentencing disparity in the trial-avoiding mechanism.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46026,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Law Crime and Justice","volume":"82 ","pages":"Article 100769"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144633208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quantitative empirical analysis was conducted using a probabilistic sample of 21,876 students from 14 public and private universities in Ecuador. University SH was assessed using the Sexual Harassment Scale in Higher Education Institutions (ASIES), and data analysis was performed using Poisson regressions. The findings indicate a positive relationship between SH and the outcomes considered. When analyzing the various dimensions of harassment, it is observed that verbal and non-verbal harassment are the modalities that generate the most relevant effects. On the other hand, the psychoeducational repercussions of harassment are moderated by gender identity and sexual orientation, with women and heterosexual students experiencing more pronounced effects.
