Forests and poverty
Understanding of the relationship between forests and the poor has grown enormously, especially in the last twenty years. Aid donors worked on poverty reduction in the forest sector in the 1990s and into the early 2000s, but thereafter broadened their attention to address climate change mitigation, better forest governance and timber legality, and payments for environmental services. There has so far been an incomplete integration of new insights…

This paper presents findings from a national Australian study on public opinion on the guilty plea sentencing discount, with a particular focus on sexual offences. Survey data were drawn from 989 jurors in cases that resulted in a guilty verdict and 450 unempane…

You be the judge
In the light of proposals to give jurors a sentencing role in response to media portrayals of judges as soft on crime and out of touch, this article reports on a study which explored jurors’ thoughts about such a role using survey questions and interviews. Most shied away from such a role
Mandatory sentencing? Use [with] discretion
When asked about sentencing discretion and mandatory sentences, jurors participating in the Victorian Jury Sentencing Study expressed strong support for sentencing discretion and weak support for mandatory sentences despite a belief by jurors that, in general, sentences are too lenient. This strengthens the argument that polls that pose a general question about mandatory sentences or sentencing severity divorced from the context of a specific cas…
Why sentence? Comparing the views of jurors, judges and the legislature on the purposes of sentencing in Victoria, Australia
In recent times, parliaments have introduced legislation directing judges to take defined purposes into account when sentencing. At the same time, judges and politicians also acknowledge that sentencing should vindicate the values of the community. This article compares the views on the purposes of sentencing of three major participants in the criminal justice system: legislators who pass sentencing statutes, judges who impose and justify sentenc…
Measuring jurors’ views on sentencing
This paper presents the results of the Victorian Jury Sentencing Study which aimed to measure jurors’ views on sentencing. The study asked jurors who had returned a guilty verdict to propose a sentence for the offender, to comment on the sentence given by the judge in their case and to give their opinions on general sentencing levels for different offence types. A total of 987 jurors from 124 criminal trials in the County Court of Victoria partic…
Mentoring Qualitative Research Authors Globally
Authoring quality qualitative inquiry is a challenge for most researchers. A lack of local mentors can make writing even more difficult. To meet this need, The Qualitative Report ( TQR ) has helped authors from around the world develop their papers into published articles. TQR editorial team members will discuss the history of the journal, their philosophy of author development; manuscript development strategies; solutions for managing difference…
Are Judges Out of Touch
Media claims and public opinion surveys suggest that there is a popular perception that judges are out of touch with what ordinary people think. This view is linked with punitiveness and confidence in the courts; those who think that judges are out of touch are also more likely to think that sentences are too lenient and less likely to have confidence in the courts. This article reports on a mixed methods study of the views of jurors, analysing d…
Using Jurors to Explore Public Attitudes to Sentencing
This paper reports the findings of an innovative method of ascertaining public opinion about sentencing—namely using jurors in actual cases to explore both the appropriateness of the sentence imposed in the juror's trial and more general views about sentencing levels. Contrasting images of public opinion emerged: a punitive public in relation to general perceptions of leniency and a more merciful public in relation to individual cases. The extent…
Public preferences for sentencing purposes
Preferences of 800 randomly selected Australians for retributive and utilitarian sentencing purposes were examined in response to brief crime scenarios where offender age, offence type and offender history were systematically varied. Respondents selected rehabilitation as the most important purpose for first-time, young and burglary offenders. Punishment was endorsed as most important for repeat, adult and serious assault offenders. Multinomial l…
The Adherents of Edmund of Woodstock, Earl of Kent, in March 1330
Edmund of Woodstock, earl of Kent, was beheaded in March 1330 for treason against his nephew Edward III after he admitted plotting to release his deposed half-brother Edward II from captivity at Corfe Castle. Edward II's death at Berkeley Castle had been publicly announced two and a half years previously, and Kent himself attended the funeral in Gloucester in December 1327. A frequent explanation for the earl's subsequent belief that the former k…
Talking about theory of history in television dramas
This paper addresses the representation of theory of history in television dramas of the 1990s and early 2000s. History and historical themes are commonly addressed in television programming. The usual image that one has of this topic is period dramas or historical documentaries. However, programs of this kind are usually concerned with the content of history and do not commonly address the issues of historical theory that underpin historical kno…
Sentencing Scholarship in Australia
Doctrinal, empirical, theoretical, critical/reform and institutions/processes are the five types of sentencing research that are discussed. After a detailed of the five types of sentencing, it is found that there is considerable overlap between the groups and cross-fertilisation of ideas and expertise. Doctrinal sentencing scholarship has been shown to represent a significant proportion of published sentencing scholarship
Stories of Resistance
This study explores the ways that women are shaped by hearing and telling stories of resistance to violence. By examining the narratives of women discussing stories of resistance, this analysis treats resistance as forms of resilience and empowerment that women knit together to create lives free of abuse. This research suggests that women view themselves as actively working to create violence-free relationships, that women's construction of viole…
