In this paper we aim to achieve a better understanding of reintegration in Belgian sentence implementation. In concreto, we ask the question if Belgian sentence implementation courts ‘are doing reintegration’. Our analyses suggest the existence of a reintegrated-oriented decision-making process emphasising the strengthening of the social capital of the offender and enabling reintegration. Notwithstanding, we identify some barriers to ...

© 2018 authors. Published by the American Physical Society. We have developed, implemented, and assessed a teaching-learning sequence that aims to enhance students' understanding of the divergence and curl of electromagnetic fields. We designed guided-inquiry worksheets based on student difficulties we identified during semiquantitative and qualitative studies and discussions in the literature. A multiple representation approach was adopted to ...

Text simplification aims to reduce complexity in vocabulary and syntax, enhancing the readability and comprehension of text. This paper presents a supervised sentence simplification approach for Dutch using a pre-trained large language model (T5). Given the absence of a parallel corpus in Dutch, a synthetic dataset is generated from established parallel corpora. The implementation incorporates a sentence-level discrete parametrization mechanism, ...

Recent studies showed contradicting results with regards to the implementation of proactive language control during bilingual sentence production. To add novel evidence to this debate, the current study investigated the blocked language order effect, a measure of proactive language control that has previously only been examined in single word production. More specifically, bilingual participants completed a network description task, using their ...

'Truth in sentencing' is an apparently simple concept with considerable rhetorical power, if only because it is hard to support its opposite: 'dishonesty in sentencing'. On closer examination, however, the concept is more ambiguous than it might seem at first glance. As Freiberg and Moore have pointed out, truth in sentencing originally referred to the difference between the sentence imposed by a court and the time actually served by the ...

Main messages (1-3 sentences): The development of interorganisational mental health networks (MHN) are a core component of the reform in the mental health care in Belgium. These networks are composed of individual organizations operating in different ‘fields’, implying different cultures, regulatory frameworks, policies, funding schemes, etc. Our research found that the networks struggle with developing adequate governance structures in order to ...

Interview with Freddy Pieters, the president of the Brussels sentence implementatie court.31

In deze bijdrage blikken we terug op (meer dan)
25 jaar strafuitvoering in België. De strafuitvoering
is echter een breed domein, waardoor thematische
keuzes zich opdringen. Daarom beperken we ons tot
alle straffen die uitgevoerd worden in de gevangenis
en door de justitiehuizen en centra voor elektronisch
toezicht. De bijdrage is geschreven vanuit een penologisch
analytisch perspectief, wat betekent dat we het ...
