Extractions: Home Page NSW Greens Policies List of Policies 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. 1.2 The focus of law and order politics is on particular types of crime by particular groups in society such as illicit drug trafficking and use, property crimes, crimes of violence and summary offences. However, the causes of these types of crime are many and complex. These include unemployment, social disadvantage, mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse, and child physical, sexual, mental abuse and neglect.

Extractions: Status In recent years, politicians have been quick to adopt a "get tough" approach to crime that does not always pay enough attention to the root causes of criminal behavior, and to efforts to prevent recidivism and promote rehabilitation. This approach has been particularly evident in the area of juvenile justice. Legislative Summary Juvenile Justice Contrary to popular belief, juvenile crime rates continue to decline, and the vast majority of young people caught up in the criminal justice system are not violent and do not re-offend. Between 1995 and 1999, the rate of juveniles convicted of murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assaults declined by 23 percent, dropping to its lowest level in 10 years despite continuous growth in the juvenile population. Most delinquent youths struggle with social, education, emotional, or economic hardships that are often beyond their control. Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act In the past, juveniles were routinely housed in adult prisons, and as a result, were often subject to rape and assault by both inmates and prison staff members. In 1974, however, Congress passed the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). The JJDPA remains the most important measure protecting the rights of juvenile offenders in our criminal justice system. Under the law, states are required, as a condition of receiving federal funds, to maintain four core protections for children:

Extractions: International Conference on Human Detoxification Introduction During the past three years, there has been an ongoing evaluation of the Narconon program at two Narconon facilities in the United States. These facilities are located in Los Angeles, California, and Chilocco, Oklahoma. This ongoing evaluation is aimed at both monitoring some of the factors involved in delivery of the Narconon program and at assessing the long term results of this comprehensive socio-educational approach. The purpose of this evaluation was three-fold: The first goal of this evaluation was to monitor ongoing delivery to the clients at both Narconon facilities. Daily and weekly reports provided information on each client on the program. This ongoing evaluation afforded a detailed picture of what it takes to deliver rehabilitation service to hard core drug addicts. The second goal of this study was to evaluate the success of the Narconon program in retaining clients through the full treatment regimen.
