Novel Approaches

AbstractNovel approaches are needed if the voices of prisoners as service users are to be heard in service development and organisational learning. In this chapter we introduce Q methodology and suggest how this research method can be applied in order to reveal the views of service users in contact with the criminal justice system. We illustrate this by describing the development of a set of Q statements used to elicit the perspectives of ex-prisoners’ experiences of service provisions in an UK mentorship organisation. We discuss how Q methodology can be applied to capture ex-prison service users’ views in research, in therapy or in dialogues between service user and mentor, as well as in including service users’ voices in service development.

Learning Together

People’s experiences of the criminal justice system and, indeed, higher education are dominated by stories. We encourage service user input across the criminal justice system, and endeavour to understand the student experience in higher education, but we rarely think about how politically driven agendas reduce everything, and indeed everyone, to one experience, one identity, and ultimately, one story. Drawing upon our experience of Learning Together, we utilise the concept of storytelling to illustrate how pedagogical creativity and compassion can recast long-standing narratives about ‘service users’ and students so that new, informed stories can emerge.

Collaborative Working

AbstractCollaborative working in the criminal justice system is complex. This introductory chapter synthesises some of its challenges and the role of innovation and organisational learning to address these. In so doing, we present the work of the COLAB consortium and its ambitions to apply theories and methods of activity systems to the field of interagency collaborations and social innovation within the criminal justice system. We explore the basic principles of these and supplementary theoretical and methodological perspectives that are treated in greater detail in later chapters of this book. We raise, in particular, issues and challenges faced in including service users’ voice in service development and innovation before exploring the concept of multivoicedness and its application. This leads to a discussion of distributed responsibility for offender rehabilitation to which many stakeholders including academic institutions should be held to account. The chapter ends with a consolidation of where we are in our current understanding of collaboration, innovation, and organisational learning in the criminal justice context and proposes ways forward.

AbstractWhile the benefits of routine outcome measurement have been extolled and to some degree researched, it is surprising that service user opinions on this common therapy practice have largely not been investigated. This study aimed to assess service users’ experiences of completing measures during psychological therapy, with a view to exploring how therapists can maximize how helpful measures are in therapy. Fifteen participants completed surveys about the use of measures in their current episode of care. Ten clinicians also completed a survey about their use of, and views about, measures. Results showed that despite mixed experiences in how measures were explained and used, service users showed generally favourable attitudes towards their use in therapy, with them being perceived as most helpful when well integrated into sessions by their therapists. Clinicians reported using a wide range of measures, and generally endorsed positive beliefs about measures more strongly than negative ones. Implications for clinical practice, service development, and further research are discussed.

Este es un artículo de reflexión que describe la evolución del proceso de implantación del sistema de justicia penal en México. El método de investigación fue la observación participante y la investigación--acción como resultado de la participación en diecisiete seminarios de prediagnóstico en los estados de la república mexicana. Las categorías de análisis fueron las siguientes: características de organización y desempeño del órgano implementador federal Secretariado Técnico para la reforma del sistema de justicia penal (Setec), modelo de evaluación de avances de la reforma, tipología de implantaciones de la reforma y resultados del seminario de prediagnóstico de implantación en diecisiete entidades. Como resultado de lo anterior se concluye que la reforma ha avanzado en México a cuatro velocidades, que la Setec ha tenido un bajo desempeño como órgano implementador debido a sus constantes cambios de líderes y a su desestructurada orientación estratégica y su diseño organizativo y que d mejor modelo de implantación es el que se hace por regiones y que los sistemas de justicia estudiados, siendo muy diferentes en tamaño y complejidad, comparten una problematica común.This is an article of reflection that describes the evolution of the process of implanting the Criminal Justice System in Mexico. The research method used was that of participant observation and action-research as a result of participation in 17 pre-diagnosis seminars in the states of the Mexican republic. The analysis categories were the following: organizational characteristic. and performance of the implementing agency - the Technical Secretariat for Reform of the Criminal Justice System (SETEC), the model for evaluating advances in the reform, typology of implantations of the reform and results of the implantation pre-diagnosis seminar in 17 entities. As a result of the above, it was concluded that: the reform has advanced at four different speeds in Mexico, the SETEC has had poor performance as an implementing entity due to constant changes of its leaders and its unstructured strategic orientation and its organizational design, and the best model of implantation is that which is done by regions and that the justice systems studied, while very different in size and complexity, share common problematic characteristics.

Corruption Case

ABSTRAKPenanganan perkara tindak pidana korupsi menganut sistem pemidanaan minimum bagi pelaku yang diputus bersalah oleh pengadilan. Istilah ketentuan pidana minimum khusus secara normatif diatur dalam Pasal 2 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 1999, sebagaimana telah diubah menjadi Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi. Pada tataran praktiknya terdapat fenomena adanya putusan pengadilan yang menerobos sistem pemidanaan minimum yang dianut tersebut. Salah satu contoh putusan pengadilan yang ditelaah dalam tulisan ini adalah Putusan Nomor 2399 K/PID.SUS/2010. Permasalahan yang timbul adalah apa saja yang menjadi landasan infra petita hakim dalam menjatuhkan putusan yang menerobos ketentuan pemidanaan minimum dalam perkara tindak pidana korupsi tersebut. Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan undang-undang. Penulis berkesimpulan bahwa putusan pengadilan tindak pidana korupsi yang menerobos ketentuan pemidanaan minimum dalam Undang-Undang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi pada dasarnya diperbolehkan. Sepanjang putusan hakim yang infra petita tersebut memiliki esensi ratio legis yang kuat dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan, atas dasar alasan pertimbangan nilai keadilan dan pertimbangan judex factie sebagaimana pada perkara a quo.Kata kunci: putusan, korupsi, pemidanaan minimum. ABSTRACT In the handling of a corruption case, mandatory minimum penalty is adopted in the criminal justice system for the offender who was found guilty by the court. The term ‘mandatory minimum penalty’ is normatively regulated in Article 2 paragraph (1) of Law Number 31 of 1999, as amended to Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Corruption Eradication. In practice there is a phenomenon of a court decision breaching the adopted mandatory minimum penalty. One example of a court decision analyzed hereon is the Decision Number 2399 K/PID.SUS/2010. The arising problem is what the consideration of the judge is for infra petita in imposing decision which breached the mandatory minimum penalty provision in that corruption case. This research uses normative legal research method with legislation approach. It can be concluded that it is basically permissible in the corruption court’s decision to breach the minimum penalty provisions as stipulated in the Corruption Eradication Law. Provided that the judge’s decision of infra petita, is based on strong legislation ratio and can be accounted for, on the basis of justice value and judex factie considerations as in the a quo case. Keywords: court decision, corruption, minimum penalty.

Voluntary Basis

One of the advertised aims of the ‘Transforming Rehabilitation’ (TR) reforms in England and Wales was to extend compulsory post-custody supervision to prisoners serving short sentences who were outside the scope of existing resettlement provision. It is now well established that the arrangements introduced by TR for this group of prisoners have not been successful, having delivered high and often unmanageable caseloads, little help to service users and a greatly increased chance of recall to prison. The need which the reforms purported to meet remains unmet. There is little point in poorly designed and delivered provision; on the other hand, resources for the foreseeable future are not likely to support large increases in expenditure when so many parts of the criminal justice system require investment. This article draws on research from the 1990s onwards on provision for this group of prisoners, and in particular, the ‘Pathfinder’ projects of 1999–2003, as examples of what can be achieved on a voluntary basis. It is suggested that future provision for this group in England and Wales should be based on a more selective and individualized provision, with less coercion and more choice for service users.

Aims and MethodTo develop a service development plan supporting recovery-based practice through collaborative service user-led methodology, and contribute to the National Institute for Mental Health in England (NIMHE) pilot evaluation of recovery sensitive measures. Staff, residents and service user group representatives collaborated in implementing the Developing Recovery Enhancing Environments Measure (DREEM) in a residential rehabilitation service.ResultsStaff and residents demonstrated a shared vision of recovery. Many areas were being addressed to a high level but others showed areas of deficiency, and illustrated discrepant views between staff and residents, which provided a focus for the development of a clinical service action plan.Clinical ImplicationsAs an experimental measure DREEM provides a user-led structure, which enables services to measure their commitment to, and effectiveness in, providing recovery-based care. It focuses service development and enhances collaborative work with service users, thus mirroring the principles of recovery it measures. It merits further evaluation and consolidation.

This study used Q methodology to better understand battered women's views about the criminal justice system (CJS). Fifty-eight abused and formerly abused women, representing a broad range of experiences, were involved in the study. Participants sorted 72 statements about domestic violence and the CJS according to how strongly they agreed with each one in relation to the other statements. A small subset of women was interviewed to help illuminate the emerging perspectives. Five perspectives that are new in both their complexity and in their substance were identified: (1) The CJS can be trusted; (2) The CJS has potential, but is ultimately disappointing to victims; (3) Victims should have input into the CJS and be sure they want to use it; (4) The CJS cannot protect women and can make matters worse; and (5) The CJS should be used for her safety, for his rehabilitation, and for justice despite its problems.

ABSTRAKDalam sistem peradilan pidana penanganan suatu kasus dimulai sejak kasus itu muncul, kemudian ditangani oleh polisi, hingga proses akhir dari penegakan hukum terletak pada putusan hakim. Putusan hakim dapat berupa menjatuhkan hukuman ataupun membebaskan seorang terdakwa. Dalam putusan hakim akan terlihat kemampuan hakim dalam mengonstruksi kasus sejak dakwaan dibacakan hingga pledoi diucapkan. Semua konstruksi hakim tersebut akan tergambar dalam pertimbangan-pertimbangan. Dalam pertimbangan tersebut akan terlihat apakah suatu putusan tersebut melanggar kode etik atau tidak. Apa yang terlihat dalam dua putusan hakim yang dikeluarkan oleh Pengadilan Negeri Tobelo, mencerminkan adanya persoalan ketika seorang terdakwa dua kali dihukum oleh majelis hakim yang sama untuk perbuatan yang sama pula. Hal inilah yang kemudian menjadi rumusan masalah, apakah putusan tersebut melanggar Kode Etik dan Pedoman Perilaku Hakim atau tidak? Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif yang memfokuskan kajian pada data sekunder, maka akan terlihat bagaimana sesungguhnya dua putusan tersebut. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan telah terjadi pelanggaran Kode Etik dan Pedoman Perilaku Hakim yang dilakukan oleh majelis hakim.Kata kunci: kode etik dan pedoman perilaku hakim; sistem peradilan pidana; profesionalisme.  ABSTRACT In the criminal justice system, the handling of a case starts since the claim arises, then is handled by the police, until the final process of law enforcement, which lies in the judge's decision. Judges' decisions can be in the form of sentencing or acquitting a defendant. The ability of a judge to construct a case will appear in the decision from the time the indictment is read until the plea is pronounced. In these considerations, it will be seen whether the judge's decision violates the code of ethics or not. Two judges' decisions issued by the Tobelo District Court reflect the problem in which a defendant was twice sentenced by the same panel of judges for violating the same law. This is what then becomes the formula of the problem, whether the decision violates the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct of Judges or not. By using normative legal research method focusing on secondary data construing, it will expose the fact of these two decisions. The results of this analysis indicate that there are violations of the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct of Judges been committed by the panel of judges examining the case. Keywords: code of ethics and code of conduct of judges; criminal justice system; professionalism.
