Criminal Justice Summer Course on Responses to Sexual Violence
Criminal Justice Summer Course on Responses to Sexual Violence
Introduction
This 4th edition of the International Criminal Justice Summer Course is dedicated to ‘Responses to Sexual Violence’, and it will take place in Barcelona, at the Centre for Legal Studies and Specialised Training.
It will be a unique international opportunity to meet professionals from other countries, from different disciplines and from a range of backgrounds, to share and to learn from people doing the same work in different European realities.
The focus will be upon practice: what works – new ideas – restorative methods – preventing reoffending – research – workshops – practice visits – sharing experience. The aim is that participants bring their expertise and, through engaging with the courses, become better equipped and informed about current approaches and effective interventions.
Each organisation member of CJPE will address this topic from a different but complementary angle:
- The European Organisation of Prison and Correctional Services (EuroPris) will focus on ethics in management and treatment of individuals sentenced for a sexual offense;
- The Confederation of European Probation (CEP) will explore the better understanding of sexual abuse to create effective policy and practice;
- The European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ) will look how to include victims and use restorative justice approaches to respond to sexual violence.
By sharing ideas and considering the very latest research and programmes, participants will be stimulated to participate in the debate on how to respond to sexual violence. Methods will include training, presentations, discussions among the participants as well as study visits. The aim is to examine key practice issues, inspire new thinking, promote cross-fertilization and build new networks to improve services and practice in prisons, probation and restorative justice.
