    Chemical castration as an evolving concept: is it a possible solution for sexual offences?
    (Taylor & Francis, 2021) Çöpür, Mazlum; N/A; Çöpür, Sidar; Researcher; School of Medicine; 368625
    As growing criminal offences, sexual offences defined by any sexual behavior lacking clear consent, creates significant morbidity, psychiatric comorbidities, adjustment disorders and mortality worldwide. Criminal laws vary between countries while use of chemical castration methods such as hormonal therapies or surgical castration techniques has been implemented in multiple states and countries while number of countries implemented castration methods have increased rapidly in recent years. Despite such trend no comprehensive randomized controlled trial or meta-analysis study has been performed yet. Additionally, multiple ethical questions arise regarding such castration techniques in sexual offenders. In this study our aim is to demonstrate efficiency and possible adverse effects of hormonal and surgical castration techniques, variations among countries and states, and ethical issues.

    The (in)distinction between remand imprisonment and prison sentence: revisiting pre-trial detention within Turkish youth justice system*
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Department of Sociology; Durak, Nilay Kavur; N/A; Department of Sociology; Migration Research Program at Koç University (MIReKoç) / Göç Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (MIReKoç); College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 294023
    Around 3.3 million people worldwide are in pretrial detention, and 14 million people are held in such detention per year. Despite the high numbers, remand imprisonment has received little attention in penal theories. Over the past couple of decades, Turkey has constructed high-security remand prisons for young pretrial detainees, indicating a transition towards securitization in the form of remand imprisonment. In these prisons, the element of ?space? and spatial control has taken precedence, while ?labour/discipline? and ?time? have lost significance, reflecting the securitization process. Research conducted in juvenile courts and prisons in 2014?2015 demonstrates how marginalized youth end up in remand prisons that have become social control facilities. Remand imprisonment is interpreted as a crime control and deterrence mechanism by both the prisoners and legal practitioners, and attains roles in crime control that correspond to the residual welfare regime.
