The Harm and Evidence Research Collaborative at The Open University.
The Centre for Crime and Justice Studies will be hosting an academic roundtable seminar with Dr Bree Carlton of Monash University, Australia and Dr Erica Meiners of Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago, USA.
There are many examples where campaign demands have been taken up by governments that have led to their subsequent mutation into principles and practices inconsistent with the original campaign demands. In recent decades in UK, the US, Canada and Australia we have seen a revival of therapeutic and rehabilitative practices in penal reform that have been implemented with concurrent net widening and expansion.
In this seminar Bree Carlton and Erica Meiners will raise questions about the paradoxes posed by investing in state allegiances and how we manage reform in reductionist campaigns. This will be followed by short contributions from respondents (listed below) and discussion. Bree's online comment piece, calling for radical strategies for resisting the harms for reform, is available here.
This event will be of particular interest to academics and researchers. A larger public discussion event organised by the Reclaim Justice Network and The Open University will take place in will take place in the evening, details available here.
