9625493 Daly Funding is requested for some travel expenses in connection with research on an innovative criminal justice reform, family group or community accountability conference. Conferencing, which began in New Zealand in 1989 in handling juvenile crime, has since been introduced in Australia, Canada, and several states in the U.S. There are only a handful of studies assessing its merits. The researcher will observe conference proceedings at major sites in Australia and New Zealand, and conduct research for extended periods in an urban and outback Australian jurisdiction (Adelaide and Coober Pedy), where conferencing is used in cases of intimate violence (rape and domestic violence). The research questions are: Do imbalances of power arise in the conference? Are offenders affected by the conference to change their behavior? The exploratory nature of the research calls for the gathering of case studies, coupled with interviews. The aim is to learn as much as possible about conferencing -- how it works, how successful it is, its major implementation problems -- to develop some baseline information and to begin to assess its merits in comparison to traditional criminal justice responses to crime. %%%% Funding is requested for some travel expenses in connection with research on an innovative criminal justice reform, family group or community accountability conference.

9625493每日所需经费用于研究创新性刑事司法改革、家庭小组或社区问责会议的一些旅费。会议于1989年在新西兰开始处理青少年犯罪，此后被引入澳大利亚，加拿大和美国的几个州，只有少数研究评估其优点。研究人员将在澳大利亚和新西兰的主要地点观察会议程序，并在城市和澳大利亚内陆管辖区（阿德莱德和库伯佩迪）进行长时间的研究，其中会议用于处理亲密暴力案件（强奸和家庭暴力）。研究的问题是：会议中是否会出现权力不平衡？违法者是否受到会议的影响而改变他们的行为？该研究的探索性要求收集案例研究，并结合访谈。其目的是尽可能多地了解会议——它是如何运作的，它有多成功，它的主要实施问题——开发一些基线信息，并开始评估它与传统刑事司法应对犯罪的方法相比的优点。%%%%请拨经费用于研究创新性刑事司法改革、家庭小组或社区问责会议的一些旅费。会议于1989年在新西兰开始处理青少年犯罪，此后被引入澳大利亚，加拿大和美国的几个州，只有少数研究评估其优点。研究人员将在澳大利亚和新西兰的主要地点观察会议程序，并在城市和澳大利亚内陆管辖区（阿德莱德和库伯佩迪）进行长时间的研究，其中会议用于处理亲密暴力案件（强奸和家庭暴力）。研究的问题是：会议中是否会出现权力不平衡？违法者是否受到会议的影响而改变他们的行为？该研究的探索性要求收集案例研究，并结合访谈。其目的是尽可能多地了解会议——它是如何运作的，它有多成功，它的主要实施问题——开发一些基线信息，并开始评估它与传统刑事司法应对犯罪的方法相比的优点。＊＊＊＊
