This chapter reviews the application of therapeutic jurisprudence at a local Magistrates’ Court in England and Wales, specifically in relation to women offenders. Drawing on data from a 2-year research project a case study approach is used to investigate some of the challenges that had arisen within this setting. The cases relating to ten women are explored in depth, revealing much more complex situations than might have been anticipated given the court’s remit of dealing with low-level crimes. The conclusion outlines the importance of a sound theoretical and organisational framework to underpin the operationalisation of such a court, with the need for further development of evidence-based practice and the full integration of gender-sensitive interventions for women defendants.

Bleeding is a leading cause of early death from trauma. Consequently, effective hemostasis can improve the odds of survival after severe traumatic injury. Understanding the pathophysiology of trauma-induced coagulopathy can provide insights into effective strategies to assess and halt hemorrhage. Both physical assessment and appropriate laboratory studies are important in the diagnosis and evaluation of coagulopathy to identify the most effective mechanical and pharmacological strategies to achieve hemostasis. This article uses a case study approach to explore evidence-based techniques to evaluate hemorrhage and strategies to promote hemostasis.

Scandals have featured consistently in the development and operation of public policing in England and Wales. However, criminologists have rarely explored scandal as a concept or its attempted management by criminal justice organizations. This article contributes to the filling of this gap with the intention of initiating debate on the utility of scandal as a conceptual tool for the analysis of policing and criminal justice. It identifies the core components of a scandal using an analytical framework informed by scandal research undertaken across disciplinary areas. Taking a case study approach, this framework is applied to the Leveson Inquiry which explored a combination of potentially scandalous episodes within the overarching scandal of phone-hacking. The article concludes that phone-hacking was a scandal at macro and micro levels under this framework yet damage to the reputation of the police was mitigated through active impression management and enduring characteristics of the police image.

Recently, Shulha, Whitmore, Cousins, Gilbert, and al Hudib (2015) proposed a set of evidence-based principles to guide collaboration. Our research undertakes a case study approach to explore these principles in a developmental evaluation context. Data were collected at two points in an 18-month period where an evaluation group collaborated with the program team from a national organization. This article explores the contributions of selected collaborative approaches to evaluation principles as they are applied in a developmental evaluation. The article concludes with a reflection on the implications for collaboration in theory and practice of developmental contexts. Also identified are the practical insights for implementing the principles in evaluation practice.Récemment, Shulha, Whitmore, Cousins, Gilbert et al Hudib (2015) ont proposé un ensemble de principes pour guider les pratiques collaboratives. Par une étude de cas nous explorons ces principes dans un contexte d’évaluation développementale. Des données ont été recueillies à deux moments au cours d’une période de 18 mois, lors d’une collaboration entre un groupe d’évaluateurs et l’équipe d’un programme d’une organisation nationale. L’article explore les contributions de certaines approches collaboratives au respect de ces principes dans le cadre de l’évaluation développementale. L’article propose une réflexion sur les implications théoriques et pratiques de la collaboration dans ces contextes. Nous identifions également des moyens pour implanter ces principes dans la pratique évaluative.
