TL;DR: The authors found that pre-trial detention, at least in the minds of detained defendants, is a form of punishment, and that they experience censure (stigma) and hard treatment during their time in pretrial detention.

Abstract: Pre‐trial detention plays an important, and often contentious, role in the criminal justice process. Legal theorists have gone to great lengths to distinguish between preventive detention and punishment with respect to pre‐trial detention, as it would violate the principle of retribution and the presumption of innocence if yet‐to‐be convicted defendants were subjected to punishment. Nonetheless, the experiences of detainees remains an understudied area. The purpose of this article is not to dispute whether pre‐trial detention is, or can be justified as, a form of punishment, but it is to show that pre‐trial detention, at least in the minds of detained defendants, is punitive. Drawing on interviews with a sample of previously‐detained defendants in Hong Kong, it is found that they experience censure (stigma) and hard treatment during their time in pre‐trial detention. Implications and recommendations are discussed.

Abstract: Stigmatisation is a frequently listed as a concern by offenders and has been identified as a major barrier to reintegration. The present study explored factors contributing to stigmatising attitudes towards various sub-types of offenders in Singapore. Six hundred and twenty-eight undergraduate students read a vignette illustrating a sexual, a white-collar, or a violent crime before answering various questionnaires in an online survey. Previous contact with offenders was not related to desire for social distance from them. However, respondents who perceived offenders as incapable of changing, as well as those who felt more morally outraged by the crimes they had committed, indicated a greater desire for social distance from offenders. Respondents also had a tendency to desire distance from sexual and violent offenders more than they did from white-collar offenders. The findings extend the understanding of pathways leading towards stigmatisation of offenders and have implications for policy-making and reint...
