An examination of author characteristics in national and regional criminology and criminal justice journals, 2008-2010: Are female scholars changing the nature of publishing in criminology and criminal justice?
No full textCriminology and criminal justice (CCJ) as an academic discipline has experienced an increase in the focus on various aspects of academic productivity in recent years. Much of the extant literature examining journal article authorship has focused on various measures of the publication productivity of specific authors but not on the characteristics of the authors themselves. The current study expands upon previous work by examining several author characteristics across different journal types and research methodologies, with a particular focus on how gender relates to these issues. The findings reveal several interesting differences with regard to gender, academic rank, and university affiliation. Among these findings is evidence that although males are more likely to author CCJ articles regardless of journal type, females are more likely to be lead authors in regional journal articles and more likely to publish with other female authors. Regional journals are also the publication outlet of choice for students and assistant professors in the beginning of their careers. The findings also provide evidence of important differences in author rank, academic affiliation, methodology, and publication outlet for articles authored by females.Journal ArticlePublishe

Court environments as legal forums, workplaces and symbols of justice
No full textThe analysis provided in this essay is based on the experience of researching and working with courts over several years, running court architecture tours and debating the issues with architects, judges, court executives and others. The author is the co-ordinator of the Court of the Future Network, which provides a forum for exploring issues about justice environments in Australia and New Zealand. The issues raised here therefore partly reflect ongoing debates within court communities in Australia, but also considered reflections about emerging trends that will become increasingly relevant to courts in the future
Are current Canadian police intervention methods for children in crisis, resulting from violence and abuse, effective in mitigating children from entering the criminal justice system or causing further trauma leading to justice-involved youth?
No full textThis study is a critical appraisal with a pragmatic worldview of current research on the topic of police crisis intervention methods with children in crisis and the research question is, “Are current Canadian police intervention methods for children in crisis, resulting from violence and abuse, effective in mitigating children from entering the Criminal Justice System or causing further trauma leading to justice-involved youth?” A significant gap in Canadian research was found on current police crisis intervention methods and on these with children as the person in crisis. Generalizability of studies in other countries may not be possible due to Canada’s unique multicultural society and differences in policies and laws. Similar models and training frameworks may be applicable, however, with customization for a Canadian context.police; child; crisis; crisis intervention; police methods; childhood trauma; Adverse Childhood Experiences; Canad

Decolonizing Restorative Justice
No full textThe chapter critically examines the harmful impact of restorative justice on Indigenous peoples. The concepts of cognitive injustice, cultural appropriation vs cultural appreciation, and the conflation of Indigenous justice and restorative justice are discussed. This chapter explores decolonization and what it might mean to decolonize restorative justice. A proposed framework for decolonizing restorative justice is presented. The authors believe that the inclusion of the leadership of local Indigenous peoples coupled with lessons from wise practices across somewhat similar cultural and spiritual settings would contribute to decolonizing restorative justice practices. This chapter ends with three wise practices and reflective questions.
