SGER: Violence and Family Group Conferencing in Australia and New Zealand

9625493戴利资金被要求与创新的刑事司法改革，家庭团体或社区问责会议的研究有关的一些旅费。1989年在新西兰开始的处理青少年犯罪的会议，后来被引入澳大利亚，加拿大和美国的几个州，只有少数研究评估其优点。 研究人员将观察澳大利亚和新西兰主要地点的会议程序，并在澳大利亚城市和内陆管辖区（阿德莱德和库伯佩迪）进行长时间的研究，在那里会议被用于亲密暴力案件（强奸和家庭暴力）。研究问题是：会议中是否出现了权力不平衡？犯罪者是否会受到会议的影响而改变他们的行为？研究的探索性质要求收集案例研究，加上访谈。目的是尽可能多地了解会议-其运作方式、成功程度、主要的实施问题-以形成一些基线信息，并开始评估其与传统的刑事司法犯罪对策相比的优点。 %请求提供资金，用于支付与创新刑事司法改革、家庭团体或社区问责会议研究有关的差旅费。1989年在新西兰开始的处理青少年犯罪的会议，后来被引入澳大利亚，加拿大和美国的几个州，只有少数研究评估其优点。 研究人员将观察澳大利亚和新西兰主要地点的会议程序，并在澳大利亚城市和内陆管辖区（阿德莱德和库伯佩迪）进行长时间的研究，在那里会议被用于亲密暴力案件（强奸和家庭暴力）。研究问题是：会议中是否出现了权力不平衡？犯罪者是否会受到会议的影响而改变他们的行为？研究的探索性质要求收集案例研究，加上访谈。目的是尽可能多地了解会议-其运作方式、成功程度、主要的实施问题-以形成一些基线信息，并开始评估其与传统的刑事司法犯罪对策相比的优点。 ****

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.
