A Research Note on Suicidal Behavior as a Precursor to Domestic Homicide, With a Coda on Trends in Femicide Before, During and After Covid
This article briefly reviews the difficulties of predicting and preventing domestic homicide. It considers the evidence on offender prior suicidal behaviour as a precursor. It includes findings from the 1950s and 1960s as well as the most recent findings on links between suicide ideation and domestic homicide intent. It also reviews ways in which these links can be further explored and operationalised to prevent future harm. It concludes with ref…
Restorative Justice as Evidence-Based Sentencing
America's sentencing and corrections systems are in crisis. This text examines the intertwined and multi-layered fields of American sentencing and corrections from global and historical viewpoints, from theoretical and policy perspectives, and with close attention to many problem-specific arenas
Transforming Youth Justice: Occupational Identity and Cultural Change – By A. Souhami
Souhami, A. Transforming Youth Justice: Occupational Identity and Cultural Change Willan Publishing 2007 221 pp. £42.00 (hardback) New Labour's 1997 election victory brought with it the promise of a radical overhaul of youth justice. The official assessment of the old system, which was based upon local authority social services Youth Justice Teams, described it as characterized by waste, inefficiency and complacency; the then Home Secretary calle…
Reintegrative Shaming, Procedural Justice, and Recidivism: The Engagement of Offenders' Psychological Mechanisms in the Canberra Rise Drinking-and-Driving Experiment
Advocates of restorative justice (RJ) hypothesize that the diversion of criminal cases to RJ conferences should be more effective in lowering the rate of reoffending than traditional prosecution in court processing because the conferences more effectively engage the psychological mechanisms of reintegrative shaming and procedural justice. This study uses longitudinal data from the drinking-and-driving study in the Australian Reintegrative Shaming…
Victim Evaluations of Face‐to‐Face Restorative Justice Conferences: A Quasi‐Experimental Analysis
One major goal of face‐to‐face restorative justice (RJ) is to help heal the psychological harm suffered by crime victims ( Braithwaite, 2002 ). Substantial evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has shown that this can be accomplished ( Strang, 2002 ) and more trials are underway ( Sherman & Strang, 2004 ). These outcomes are even more clearly, if less rigorously, demonstrated through retrospective interviews of victims about their fee…

Experimental Ethnography: The Marriage of Qualitative and Quantitative Research
Experimental and ethnographic research methods are often described as mutually exclusive. This article suggests how they could be combined in the method of “experimental ethnography.” Building ethnographic methods into the separate branches of randomized controlled trials could substantially increase the range of conclusions that can be produced by experimental research designs, as well as by ethnographic methods. Experimental designs offer great…
Verdicts or Inventions: Interpreting Results from Randomized Controlled Experiments in Criminology
The social benefits of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) would be enhanced by general recognition of three problems of their interpretation and a redefinition of their mission in relation to program development and evaluation. One problem is that of "forest versus trees," or the sampling relationship between each test of a hypothesis and the conclusions drawn from all such tests taken together. A second problem is interpreting RCTs as testing t…
Repair or Revenge: Victims and Restorative Justice
This book addresses the role of victims in our criminal justice system and the shortcomings they perceive in the way they are treated. It examines whether restorative justice can offer them more justice than they receive from the formal court-based system. Research into the shortcomings of the court-based system has identified a number of issues that victims want to address. In brief, they want a less formal process where their views count, more …
