Description
Rob White, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Criminology; Deputy Chair, Just Desserts and Glenn Hay, Former Magistrate, Magistrates Court of Tasmania; Committee Member, Just Desserts present this session into the Criminal Law Conference 2023. With representation from a variety of organisations and individuals, Just Desserts was formed to assist and complement the work of the Court Mandated Drug (CMD) treatment program of the Magistrates Court. The mission of Just Desserts is to assist in building up the incentives side of the drug use equation. Working with community members, the key task is to establish and maintain a wide range of items and services for use in incentivising participants in the CMD program as they achieve various stage-related goals. This presentation is based on the premise that the current system of criminal justice is failing. It does little to deter offending, is plagued by recidivism, produces future crime, and stigmatises offenders, victims and communities. The session includes information about the following.
- Main elements of therapeutic jurisprudence;
- Role of problem-solving courts; and
- Specific contours of the Court Mandated Division (CMD) in Tasmania
The key takeaways include:
- The criminal justice system is failing.
- Alternatives to standard practice are available and possible.
- Therapeutic jurisprudence is oriented to addressing substantive problems.
- Problem-solving courts and diversion strategies offer innovative and effective responses.
- Just Desserts, as a community group, supports drug diversion in Tasmania and the expansion of therapeutic jurisprudence more generally.
