Spiritual Jewish Criminology: Theoretical Perspective and Applications for Offenders Rehabilitation

本書介紹了靈性猶太犯罪學的概念。它源自猶太靈性範式，並從這個角度以理論和應用的視角解釋犯罪學。本卷採用質性方法論和現象學、詮釋學的方法，能夠結合訪談和經文文本的分析。

從靈性猶太的角度探討的靈性犯罪學主題包括：
- 生命目的的參考。
- 人性及其傾向。
- 自由選擇。
- 對懲罰和康復的相應認知。

本卷對犯罪學領域提出了理論和實踐的啟示，儘管基於猶太的前提，但以能夠惠及不同信仰體系的方式呈現。它非常適合對靈性與犯罪學交集感興趣的專業人士。

Yitzhak Ben Yair is a researcher and lecturer at the Zefat Academic College, located in the north of Israel. The overarching objective of his academic endeavors and research is to acquire a comprehensive understanding of criminology through the lens of religious texts and spiritual traditions. With this understanding, he aims to bridge theory and practice by developing concepts that can be translated into therapeutic tools and rehabilitation methods for offenders, incarcerated individuals, those struggling with addictions, at-risk youth and etc. The anticipated outcome of this work is to enhance the psychological well-being of these populations and reduce harm to them and others. In recent years, his research interests have encompassed forgiveness therapy. Yitzhak Ben Yair has completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of Educational Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, under the guidance of Prof. Robert Enright. During this fellowship, he studied the efficacy of an innovative program that integrated modern forgiveness therapy techniques with traditional Jewish elements. This program was designed to treat individuals grappling with addiction in Israel, drawing inspiration from the spiritual principles of Judaism.

Natti Ronel is a full professor in the Department of Criminology at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, where he formerly served as the department head. Additionally, he is a clinical criminologist with extensive experience in consultation and providing private and group treatment for individuals facing various distressing issues, including addiction, violence, criminal behaviour, and victimization. These topics also form the focus of his research and writing. In recent years, Natti has led a research team in developing the perspective of Positive Criminology, an extension of Positive Psychology with a criminological emphasis. He has also pioneered positive victimology, offering a fresh outlook on assisting survivors of violence and crime. Currently, his primary focus is on the advancement of Spiritual Criminology and Victimology, aiming to integrate spiritual wisdom into the study of modern social and behavioural sciences. Over the years, Natti also developed GraceWay--a spiritual approach to counseling and personal transformation. He has published several scientific papers and authored two books on this topic: "The Twelve Tools: From Dependence to Independence Through Spiritual Change" and "Free From Dependency - The Grace of Letting Go".

Yitzhak Ben Yair 是以色列北部 Zefat 學院的研究員和講師。他的學術工作和研究的主要目標是通過宗教文本和精神傳統的視角，全面理解犯罪學。基於這種理解，他旨在通過開發可以轉化為治療工具和對罪犯、監禁者、成癮者、邊緣青少年等的康復方法的概念，來橋接理論與實踐。這項工作的預期結果是增進這些群體的心理健康，並減少對他們及他人的傷害。近年來，他的研究興趣涵蓋了寬恕療法。Yitzhak Ben Yair 在威斯康辛大學麥迪遜分校的教育心理學系完成了博士後研究，指導教授為 Robert Enright 教授。在這段研究期間，他研究了一個創新的計劃的有效性，該計劃將現代寬恕療法技術與傳統猶太元素相結合。這個計劃旨在治療在以色列面對成癮問題的個體，並從猶太教的精神原則中汲取靈感。

Natti Ronel 是以色列巴伊蘭大學犯罪學系的全職教授，曾擔任該系主任。此外，他是一位臨床犯罪學家，擁有豐富的諮詢經驗，並為面臨各種困擾問題的個體提供私人和團體治療，包括成癮、暴力、犯罪行為和受害問題。這些主題也是他研究和寫作的重點。近年來，Natti 領導一個研究團隊，發展了正向犯罪學的觀點，這是正向心理學的一個延伸，並強調犯罪學的應用。他還開創了正向受害學，為幫助暴力和犯罪的倖存者提供了新的視角。目前，他的主要焦點是推進精神犯罪學和受害學，旨在將精神智慧融入現代社會和行為科學的研究中。多年來，Natti 還開發了 GraceWay——一種針對諮詢和個人轉變的精神方法。他已發表多篇科學論文，並著有兩本相關書籍：《十二種工具：通過精神變革從依賴到獨立》和《擺脫依賴 - 放手的恩典》。
