Miscarriages of Justice by Bibi Sangha,Robert N. Moles Pdf
This work presents an unprecedented and scholarly critique of the post-appeal review phase of the Australian criminal justice system. It offers a unique insight for students and practitioners into a new and developing area of criminal law. The authors identify a fundamental flaw that lies at the heart of the Australian criminal justice system: an inconsistency between what constitutes a miscarriage of justice under substantive law against what constitutes a miscarriage of justice under procedural law. By examining the problematic nature of the criminal appeal rights in Australia, Sangha and Moles argue that the existing system does not comply with the rule of law provisions or AustraliaoÂeÂ(tm)s international human rights obligations. South Australia has introduced a new statutory right of appeal and Tasmaina is considering doing the same, to address this issue which represents the first substantive change to the criminal appeal rights in Australia in 100 years. Miscarriages of Justice: Criminal Appeals and the Rule of Law in Australia explains the operation of this legislation and advances a compelling argument for its nationwide adoption. This is achieved through an examination of a number of Australian (and international) wrongful conviction cases as well as discussion of specific legal issues and the problematic area of compensation for wrongful convictions. Features oÂeo Authoritative analysis oÂeo Examines leading Australian cases oÂeo Unique text on a new and developing area of law Related Titles D Chappell & P Wilson, Issues in Australian Crime and Criminal Justice, 2005
Law and Order in Australia by Donald James Weatherburn Pdf
How much crime is committed in Australia? What sort of crime, where and by whom? What can we do to stop it? This book deals in facts and dispels myths. Don Weatherburn, Director of the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, shows how policies are driven by the political need to manage public reactions, not to control and prevent crime. Law and Order in Australia informs public debate about crime in Australia by contrasting popular assumptions about crime and crime control with what is actually known to be true. The opening chapter sets the scene by asking how serious Australia's crime problems are. Weatherburn then offers a critique of the way Australian governments attempt to deal with Australia's crime problems. This is followed by the foundations for a discussion of what actually works in crime prevention and control by highlighting some basic facts about crime and offenders. The final chapters discuss what the evidence reveals about crime prevention and control and the key issues in crime prevention and control in Australia. Weatherburn clearly provides numerous ideas for better policies, ones that will actually work.

Seeking Justice in the Criminal Justice System in Australia by Peter Norden Pdf
For more than 40 years, Professor Peter Norden has worked in a variety of roles within the Australian criminal justice system. These include his years as Catholic Chaplain to the Victorian Prison system including Pentridge Prison (1985-1992) and as Convenor of the Victorian Criminal Justice Coalition (1992-2008). 'Seeking Justice' reflects on this rich and diverse journey, providing reflections on decades of front-line work and advocacy. As one of the six reviewers of the book, Melbourne Barrister, Julian McMahon AC QC, renowned death row defence Counsel for Australians awaiting execution in our Asian region notes: 'Peter Norden has drawn a remarkable portrait of an era: of jails, executions, police killings, prisoners lost in their cells, brutality, survival and hope'.'Seeking Justice' is an extensive volume of 450 pages, and covers such historic personalities as Bill O'Meally, the last man flogged by the State in Australia, and Ronald Ryan, the last man hanged by the State in Australia. Norden describes the crisis surrounding the infamous death of the Jika Jika Five in a protest fire within Pentridge in 1987, and details hitherto unreported from the Walsh Street murder trial following the execution killing of the two young Police Officers in Walsh Street, South Yarra in 1988. But Seeking Justice does much more: it points to an alternative model of restorative justice that could be implemented to secure a more secure and safer society in Australia in coming decades. Such a model would address the current international scandal of the mass incarceration of Indigenous Australians. It would set a new direction for the Australian criminal justice system founded on evidence, and not on a misguided model based on our past as a penal settlement. Peter Norden is well placed to call for our political leaders to explore new paths in pursuit of true justice and greater community safety in Australia today.
