NO MORE VICTIMS Glen Grant
A STRATEGIC MOMENT • Government austerity • Justice Ministry enthusiasm for change • Criminal Justics changes in Punishment • Prisons in poor shape • Probation (a cadillac model) • New levels of professionalism from the projects • Public opinion - Green or White paper needed?
HIGH LEVEL STUFF • The Criminal Justice Concept (the big picture) • Laws to support the ideas • Courts, the Judiciary and Sentencing concepts • Structures and organisations (probation, prisons, NGOs) • The professions (especially prison service)
PROBATION • What is/should be the full role? • Selection • Training • Skills (International help) • Human capabilities • Burnout
DEALING WITH OFFENDERS • Programme funding – what can we afford? • The sex offender – a separate focus? • What works (The international approach) • Where and how to deliver? • Multi agency cooperation (Law, attitude, training) • Circles (need to start but need for a concept) • Development of NGOs • Other Ministries
SEX OFFENDERS • Do we know or accept our true picture? • Can we deliver a “joined up” approach? • If we do “circles” will we get public support and can we make it work • Internet sex crime – are we ready for it? • How can we show publically that we are going the right way?
VICTIMS • Apart from the people in this room, does anybody care?
NO MORE VICTIMS • You are the key • Good luck Glen Grant Glens.grants@tm.gov.lv
