  1. Privatisation In Australia Global Centre for Evidence-Based Corrections and Sentencing, September, 2013 • Criminal justice system (CJS) privatisation or more recently contestability varies among OECD countries (Harding, 2001; Mason, 2013) • Most similar countries: Australia and England/Scotland • In Australia, research suggests that the private sector has assisted in public sector reform via modeling( OIC, 2009; Harding, 1997; Rynne, 2004) • Actual CJSregime reform is unknown as the two systems deliver on different standards and are not compared on similar indicators. • In its current guise, the public sector structure renders it unable to be held accountable to, or deliver services to, the same standards as the the private sector (English, Baker & Broadbent, 2010).

  2. Research Gaps Global Centre for Evidence-Based Corrections and Sentencing, September, 2013 • System Wide Contestability • Genuine contestability across the whole system: • Custodial • Community • PbR/Social Impact Bonds/Public Sector Mutuals • Through-the-gate innovation • Innovation in combining service delivery between custodial and community re-entry. • Open and Independent Inspection. • Cultural resilience in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners: • Justice reinvestment tied to Elders and Respected delivering specific programmes and non-custodial/deterrence approaches on a commercial/payment by results approach.

  3. What Next Effective CJS governance will move towards filling this knowledge gap. Global Centre for Evidence-Based Corrections and Sentencing, September, 2013 • Mandated cross sector pathways for transfer of ‘what works’. • Unified data on actual system performance: • Privatisation indicates performance measures can be designed for more than ‘input/output’ effectiveness and efficiency measures: • Measures of behavioral and qualitative change • Knowledge shared across all relevant agencies • Police • Juveniles • Mental Health
