Significant increases have been seen in the number and proportion of older persons in prison across Europe1 and in Japan, Singapore, the US, and Canada in recent decades.2 The cause of this increase varies across countries. In some places, it is reported that more older people are being convicted of offences committed when they were younger,3 and in others some older people have turned to crime due to poverty and isolation.4 For the most part, however, it is due to the hardening of sentencing practices and increased use of imprisonment, which has coincided with reduced mechanisms for early release in some countries. Life imprisonment is being used more often for less serious and non-violent offences, and mandatory sentencing laws have contributed to longer prison terms and the increased use of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. 8869 IDOSO 5106 PRISÃO 5420 ENVELHECIMENTO 5033 TERCEIRA IDADE 103071 GERIATRIA 420646 343.8 10937 PENAL REFORM INTERNATIONAL 070 423453 ASSOCIATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF TORTURE PT RPC 343.8PRI 0 343_000000000000000_8PRI 2025-01-29 9881 480759 DGRSP DGRSP DGRSP9882 343.8PRI 2025-01-29 0 MO Oferta
