Nothing is ever truly easy when you're just starting something new; but, just like with any stage in childhood, whether it's making your first steps, or going down the really big slide, with persistence, doing anything scary or overwhelming quickly becomes a piece of cake! And before you know it, you're a BIG KID!

鑑於近年研究指出女性與男性犯罪人存在犯罪之原因、型態與路徑之迥異，以及生理及心理、行為與創傷之不同，刑事司法體系亦無法針對女性之權益與特殊需求適切挹注資源與專業處遇，國際專家學者Bloom、Owen與Covington（2003）等因此倡議性別回應矯正策略與服務（Gender-Responsive Strategy/Service for Female of Fenders），以關注女性在刑事司法體系中的特殊需求、脆弱性和權益。聯合國復於2010年通過曼谷規則，特別強調了基於數據和證據的研究、性別平等與婦女權利相關的培訓和能力建設。後續聯合國於2012年通過刑事司法體系中法律援助取得途徑的原則與準則（Principles and Guidelines on Access to Legal Aid in Criminal Justice Systems）及2014年通過女性與監禁手冊（Handbook on Women and Imprisonment），以強化女性收容人之各項權益。作者長期關注國際犯罪矯治趨勢與發展，已執行多年相關受刑人犯罪行為與處遇需求之性別差異研究計畫與國際期刊發表，本書的撰寫，希冀提升女性受刑人及出監後之矯治處遇服務品質，以減少其再犯，並供犯罪矯正機構同仁及刑事司法與犯罪防治相關機構人員、博碩研究生及致力於改善女性受刑人權益之人士參考。

顔艾琳《骨皮肉》全新中英國際雙語版「愛情非霜淇淋。你說，也不全然固定或者流動那麼，在這間小小的房裡，空氣中填塞的是什麼？狡黠的你賊賊答我:欲望是甜的，而房間是方糖。因此，我們互相調劑彼此的體味」《骨皮肉》（Bone Skin Flesh）是臺灣詩人顏艾琳的代表作，於1997年首次出版時，便以其對女性特質的坦率探索和一系列情慾詩，在文壇掀起廣泛討論。顏艾琳被譽為臺灣第一位出版一系列情慾詩的女性詩人，她的作品深入挖掘性別與慾望的議題，對讀者、公共論述及當代文學研究產生了深遠影響。這本詩集共分為六個章節，包括：「黑暗溫泉」、「單性情人日」、「超級販賣機」、「空體賦」、「隱隱燃」和「寄給憂鬱的一封信」。詩作充滿有形的質感，不僅描繪了身體與世界的互動，更細膩呈現了慾望、情感、清醒與夢境的紋理。她的詩歌創造了新的世界，或者說，以嶄新的方式讓我們感受這個世界；它們不是輕輕流淌而過，而是「在你之中、在你之上、自你而生」。譯者簡莉芳（Jenn Marie Nunes）將顏艾琳的詩作視為一種「深刻而黏稠的樂趣」，並指出其作品具備「Gurlesque」詩學的特質。這種詩學以滑稽或公然嘲弄的方式展現女性特質，即使冒著怪誕的風險，也要動搖被接受的女性行為和語言基礎。然而，她的詩又超越了典型的「Gurlesque」風格，融入了一種不常傾向的溫柔、龐克式的真誠，以及對女性的崇敬，無論是母親、情人或老婦，甚至她們共享的孤獨與憂鬱。／／／Bone Skin Flesh is the landmark work of Taiwanese poet Yen Ai-Lin. First published in 1997, it drew wide attention for its candid exploration of femininity and its groundbreaking series of erotic poems, making Yen the first female poet in Taiwan to publish such a body of work. Her poetry delves into gender and desire, leaving a lasting impact on readers and contemporary literary discou
