Book excerpt: The Australian Government has provided funding to evaluate the effectiveness of Indigenous law and justice programs across five subject areas to identify the best approaches to tackling crime and justice issues and better inform government funding decisions in the future. This report presents the findings of subject area "C", 'Diversion programs'. It examined the impact of four programs designed to divert Indigenous people from entering the justice system. The four programs sit at different points along a continuum, ranging from prevention (addressing known risk factors for offending behaviour), early intervention (with identified at-risk young people), diversion (diverting from court process - usually for first or second time offenders), and tertiary intervention (treatment to prevent recidivism). The programs evaluated were: Aboriginal Power Cup, a sports-based prevention program in South Australia; Tiwi Islands Youth Development and Diversion Unit, an early intervention and diversion program that engages Tiwi youth who are at-risk of entering the criminal justice system in prevention activities; Woorabinda Early Intervention Panel Coordination Service, an assessment and referral program for early intervention and diversion, in Queensland; and Aggression Replacement Training, a group cognitive-behavioural program for youth assessed as at risk of offending or re-offending, also in Queensland.

Book excerpt: Indigenous young people are significantly over-represented in the Australian juvenile criminal justice system, with multiple risk factors contributing to this over-representation. This resource sheet examines some of the initiatives and programs that have been trialled in Australia to address this issue. Because of the paucity of robust evaluation data, we focus on some of the 'promising practice' principles in the design and operation of programs, as well as some program shortcomings and weaknesses.

This report presents the findings of subject area "D", which examined two different approaches to delivering community and night patrol services for young people: the Safe Aboriginal Youth Patrol programs in New South Wales, and the Northbridge Policy project (the Young People in Northbridge project), in Western Australia.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Department of Justice Canada (the Department) recently conducted an evaluation of its Aboriginal Justice Strategy (AJS) to assess the relevance and performance of the program, as outlined in the Treasury Board 2009 Policy on Evaluation. The AJS has been evaluated four times in the past, with the last evaluation in 2011. The evaluation covered AJS' activities, outputs and outcomes over the four years from 2012-13 to 2015-16. The AJS is a federally led, cost-shared program that has been supporting Indigenous community-based justice programs that use processes, grounded in the principles of restorative justice and Indigenous Legal Traditions for 25 years. The programs supported by the AJS are unique in that the services offered by each program are based on justice-related priorities and designed to reflect the culture and values of the communities in which they are situated. Although the primary focus for most community-based justice programs is diversion of offenders from the mainstream justice system (MJS), AJS programs also provide a range of other justice-related services from prevention to reintegration"--Executive summary, p. i-ii.

Download or read book Justice Reinvestment written by David Brown and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justice reinvestment was introduced as a response to mass incarceration and racial disparity in the United States in 2003. This book examines justice reinvestment from its origins, its potential as a mechanism for winding back imprisonment rates, and its portability to Australia, the United Kingdom and beyond. The authors analyze the principles and processes of justice reinvestment, including the early neighborhood focus on 'million dollar blocks'. They further scrutinize the claims of evidence-based and data-driven policy, which have been used in the practical implementation strategies featured in bipartisan legislative criminal justice system reforms. This book takes a comparative approach to justice reinvestment by examining the differences in political, legal and cultural contexts between the United States and Australia in particular. It argues for a community-driven approach, originating in vulnerable Indigenous communities with high imprisonment rates, as part of a more general movement for Indigenous democracy. While supporting a social justice approach, the book confronts significantly the problematic features of the politics of locality and community, the process of criminal justice policy transfer, and rationalist conceptions of policy. It will be essential reading for scholars, students and practitioners of criminal justice and criminal law.
