Drawing on data obtained via our national coercive control study, Sandra Walklate, Silke Meyer and I have provided a submission to the Australian Law Reform Commission's Inquiry into Justice Responses to Sexual Violence. Our submission aims to provide insights into the lived experience of the criminal justice system among victim-survivors of sexual violence in the context of coercive control. We present data on two key themes: 1. Victim-survivors’ experiences of reporting to the police, including outcomes sought from the police and the impact of police reporting, and 2. Victim-survivors’ experiences of obtaining an intervention order, including the impacts of an intervention order, as well as reasons for not obtaining an intervention order. 👉 You can read our submission here: https://lnkd.in/gEG5H4_R

I am pleased to share a valuable resource that sheds light on the often misunderstood role of prosecutors in the context of criminal justice reform. The latest blog post from the Brennan Center titled "Myths and Realities: Prosecutors and Criminal Justice Reform" delves into the complexities surrounding prosecutorial practices and their implications for justice system reforms. This insightful piece dismantles common misconceptions, offering a nuanced perspective on how prosecutors can be advocates for meaningful change. I encourage everyone to read and engage with this important discussion as we continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities in the realm of criminal justice.

🌍 Introducing a Milestone in Criminal Justice: The UN Manual on Investigative Interviewing for Criminal Investigation 📘 ”We needed a set of guidelines, and this set is based on 40 years of experience from researchers who have studied how police work can comply with human rights standards.” said the former United Nations's Special Rapporteur on torture and human rights activist, Juan E. Méndez just before the official launch of this manual. Davidhorn is also celebrating the publication of the "Manual on Investigative Interviewing for Criminal Investigation." - a collaboration between the United Nations, The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime). This manual sets new global standards for non-coercive, human rights-respecting police interviewing techniques. Discover how these transformative practices can enhance the effectiveness of criminal investigations and uphold justice across diverse legal systems. Read our blog to see how Davidhorn supports this global initiative with our recording technologies. 👉 https://lnkd.in/d9N9Dvwj #Davidhorn #EquippedForJustice #GlobalJustice #InvestigativeInterviewing #UNStandards
