Extractions: Wednesday Sep 21, 2005 Criminal Justice Revised September 2002 Edited January 2003 The Greens NSW support a just and effective criminal justice system, which achieves community safety and crime reduction, while protecting the human and civil rights of all. The Greens NSW believe the policies which seriously help to reduce crime are based on early intervention, social welfare, reducing child abuse, alleviating poverty, adequate and appropriate education, training and employment programs, rehabilitative programs and treating the drug and alcohol problem as a health and social issue. 1.1 'Law and order' auctions, for instance tough criminal laws which seek to gain electoral advantage by playing on people's fear and generating scapegoats to appease public insecurity, have typified NSW election politics over the last decade but have failed to deliver justice, reduce crime rates, increase community safety or address community fears. They have delivered a harsh, punitive and divided society, a society which inevitably inflicts its harshness on disadvantaged and powerless groups. This creates misery and generates new sets of victims while appeasing others. The Greens NSW do not support this US style neo-conservative justice model.

Mr. Devillers: Re: Submission on Bill C-10: An Act to Amend the Criminal Code (Mental Disorder) and to Make Consequential Amendments to Other Acts The Psychiatric Patient Advocate Office ("PPAO") appreciates the opportunity to participate in the review of the Mental Disorder Provisions of the Criminal Code. Attached is our submission, which we have made on behalf of our clients, vulnerable persons with a mental illness. Our submission highlights our concerns and offers recommendations to redress them. The Psychiatric Patient Advocate Office (PPAO) is an arm's length program of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care established in 1983 to promote the civil and legal rights of persons with mental illness in provincial psychiatric hospitals through individual and systemic advocacy and education. The PPAO also responds to any systemic concerns of a provincial nature affecting these individuals as citizens. The PPAO works to empower these individuals to have a quality of life, to uphold their rights as citizens and to make informed decisions about their care and treatment. In Ontario, the PPAO has extensive involvement with forensic clients in the mental health facilities where we provide service.
Extractions: The Psychiatric Patient Advocate Office (the "PPAO"), a quasi-independent programme of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, has been advocating for the strengthening of the rights of persons with serious mental illness since 1983. The PPAO is arms-length of the Ministry and, as such, our views do not necessarily represent those of the Ministry. With field offices located in the current and former provincial psychiatric facilities, the PPAO has a unique perspective on the effects of Criminal Code (the "Code") provisions and the resulting dispositions within Ontario's mental health system. Forensic patients represent a significant portion of our client-base. We are involved in both individual and systemic advocacy as well as public education. We participate in inquests, work with clients and their counsel in matters involving the Ontario Review Board and facilitate client-centred policies and best practices within hospitals. We are pleased to provide this submission for your consideration as you evaluate the 1991 amendments to the

Extractions: We are still a long way from the time when our conscience can be certain of having done everything possible to prevent crime and to control it effectively so that it no longer does harm and, at the same time, to offer to those who commit crimes a way of redeeming themselves and making a positive return to society. If all those in some way involved in the problem tried to . . . develop this line of thought, perhaps humanity as a whole could take a great step forward in creating a more serene and peaceful society.

This involves education on the disabilities themselves, their manifestations, as well as sensitivity training, all designed to address the unique needs of each child and to bring awareness to those involved in the system on an ongoing basis. More recently, Judge Cooney has put together a new system, which will soon be implemented. In each case involving removal of a child, she will fax an order to the Board of Cooperative Education Services (BOCES) and within 72 hours, a complete copy of the child's school records will be sent to the Court file to follow the child through the system. The hope is that with this information, the child's educational needs will be addressed immediately.
Extractions: The policies, positions and observations developed within this paper will serve as a catalyst for further discussion with Aboriginal peoples, non-governmental organizations, the judiciary, law enforcement and correctional agencies, and governmental departments, at the federal, provincial, and territorial levels. The Report examines the historical legacy of assimilation. Aboriginal people in Canada today are facing many problems that can be traced back to the impact of European assimilation. The European capitalist system differed greatly from the customs of Aboriginal people and, when imposed upon them, altered their way of life economically, politically, and socially. The collapse of the fur trade further changed the lifestyle of the Aboriginal people by increasing their dependence on European economies. Loss of the traditional Aboriginal way of life went beyond simple economic factors. Health problems, the pressures of foreign cultures and religions, and the introduction of new technologies also led to the demise of Aboriginal habitat and lifestyle. In addition, residential schools, which prohibited the use of First Nations languages and observance of Aboriginal culture and tradition, imposed neglect, abuse and mistreatment upon many Aboriginal children. These historical factors, as well as present socio-economic conditions, have contributed greatly to disproportionate levels of Aboriginal incarceration, poverty, unemployment, alcohol abuse, and domestic violence, and to the absence of stable business infrastructures. Indeed, the behaviour of most Aboriginal offenders frequently reflect social rather than criminal problems.
Extractions: The juvenile justice system was founded on the concept of rehabilitation through individualized justice Early in U.S. history, children who broke the law were treated the same as adult criminals Throughout the late 18th century, "infants" below the age of reason (traditionally age 7) were presumed to be incapable of criminal intent and were, therefore, exempt from prosecution and punishment. Children as young as 7, however, could stand trial in criminal court for offenses committed and, if found guilty, could be sentenced to prison or even to death. The 19th-century movement that led to the establishment of the juvenile court in the U.S. had its roots in 16th-century European educational reform movements. These earlier reform movements changed the perception of children from one of miniature adults to one of persons with less than fully developed moral and cognitive capacities. "I bailed nineteen boys, from 7 to 15 years of age, and in bailing them it was understood, and agreed by the court, that their cases should be continued from term to term for several months, as a season of probation; thus each month at the calling of the docket, I would appear in court, make my report, and thus the cases would pass on for 5 or 6 months. At the expiration of this term, twelve of the boys were brought into court at one time, and the scene formed a striking and highly pleasing contrast with their appearance when first arraigned. The judge expressed much pleasure as well as surprise at their appearance, and remarked, that the object of law had been accomplished and expressed his cordial approval of my plan to save and reform."

Creation -- Notable Quotations From Catholic Social Teaching Responsibility, rehabilitation, and Restoration A Catholic Perspective on We believe a Catholic vision of crime and criminal justice can offer some http://www.osjspm.org/cst/q_crimjust.htm
Extractions: As Catholic bishops, our response to crime in the United States is a moral test for our nation and a challenge for our Church. Although the FBI reports that the crime rate is falling, crime and fear of crime still touch many lives and polarize many communities. Putting more people in prison and, sadly, more people to death has not given Americans the security we seek. It is time for a new national dialogue on crime and corrections, justice and mercy, responsibility and treatment. As Catholics, we need to ask the following: How can we restore our respect for law and life? How can we protect and rebuild communities, confront crime without vengeance, and defend life without taking life? These questions challenge us as pastors and as teachers of the gospel. Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and Restoration: A Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice , USCCB, 2000 #1 A Catholic approach begins with the recognition that the dignity of the human person applies to both victim and offender. As bishops, we believe that the current trend of more prisons and more executions, with too little education and drug treatment, does not truly reflect Christian values and will not really leave our communities safer. We are convinced that our tradition and our faith offer better alternatives that can hold offenders accountable and challenge them to change their lives; reach out to victims and reject vengeance; restore a sense of community and resist the violence that has engulfed so much of our culture.
