http://www.snc.edu/pjc/PDFfiles/flyerP&JMinor.pdf Peace and Justice Academic Minor at St. Norbert College Peace and Justice Studies is a new academic minor program at St. Norbert College in which students pursue coursework in a variety of disciplines and participate in an off-campus experience working with and learning about issues of justice. The minor includes an experiential component, such as the St. Lucia, Cuernavaca, Appalachia, Mississippi, or Chicago immersions, or a local internship, or a semester-long commitment to a social service project or agency. The major to each of the three major topic areas in the mipart of the course consisnor: economic and envirts of an introduction onmental justice, culonmental justice, cul- to each of the three major topic areas in the mitural dimensions of peace and justice, and issunor: economic and envires in war and peace. aiken_01 Through the classroom and the Civil Justice Clinic, Professor Jane Aiken works toward her goal of bringing about social justice. learning, Professor Jane Aiken is thinking about the process of teaching: How do we teach? In a Clinical Law Review article she is preparing for publication in spring 2001, Aiken describes the provocateur as one who instigates or inspires others to action. "I'm trying to help students clarify how their values and experiences affect their case handling. After serving two years as an advocacy fellow and clinical instructor at Georgetown University's Center for Applied Legal Studies, she taught at Arizona State University College of Law as a classroom professor and director of the HIV Legal Clinic.

Responsibility (CGR) and Dean Jon Mills (left, with Port-au-Prince law student Martine Daceus, Jacmel school principal Eddy Simplice and Port-au-Prince lawyer Sandra Louis) hosted 11 Haitian visitors as part of its Haiti Conflict Resolution Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. Rebalancing the Scales of Justice (Discipline Paper) The basic structure of student discipline systems at Queen's University exists in constantly evolving policies, which are primarily generated at the Senate level. While the responsibility for specific areas of discipline seems rational, the decentralized of support systems for students accused of offences remains scattered depending on the nature of the offense, and the faculty or department of the student in question. That these 'ombudspersons' are not overseen, coordinated, trained or monitored is a problem in itself, but perhaps more importantly, their very existence seems to put them in structural conflict with their roles and duties as administrators and faculty members. RestJusticeFacilitator The Chief Juvenile Judge of the Denver Juvenile Court has raised the question of whether restorative practices could be used for youth committing state-level offenses before they are sentenced. The Chief Judge is part of a national roundtable (including judges) that develops policy proposals on juvenile justice reform and restorative justice. Judicial needs: Research on what has been done in other jurisdictions, coordination and facilitation of planning meetings. The Directors of the Denver DA's Juvenile Diversion and Community Accountability Board Programs organized this group at the request of the Denver's Chief Juvenile Judge. Outside facilitation is also required to minimize any potential conflicts of interest that may arise through DA staff facilitation. Pryor Final AFJ Report 6_10_03 Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor, nominated by President Bush to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, is an ultra-conservative activist whose record disqualifies him from a lifetime appointment to the federal judiciary. Not satisfied with the sweeping federalism rulings of the Rehnquist Court, Pryor continues to push relentlessly to strip the federal government of power to deal with pressing societal problems. Throughout his career, Pryor has been publicly critical of the Supreme Court's recognition of a constitutional right to reproductive choice. 17 See, e.g., Bill Pryor, The Demand for Clarity: Federalism, Statutory Construction, and the 2000 Term, 32 CUMB. criminal justice The program in criminal justice offers students a focused interdisciplinary exposure to all aspects of crime and criminal justice. Courses in the program deal with crime, violence, and other forms of deviance and the responses to these problems by police, courts, and corrections; contemporary criminal justice issues; and ethical concerns and research. An in-depth survey of changing social values about gender, changing criminal codes about crimes, changing law enforcement policies and procedures in prosecuting offenders, and emerging legal doctrines about privacy and ual rights. The function of police in contemporary society; the problems arising between citizens and police from the enforcement and nonenforcement of laws, from social changes, and from individual and group police attitudes and practices. FordEJreport A New Vision for Minority Programs at NCSE. 12. Science, Education and Projects for a Sustainable World, Joanne Underwood Appendix A: Participants in the Planning Grant. There are many other activities, particularly at MSIs, such as efforts to increase minority representation in environmental research and education or outreach to minority communities that are not widely recognized and respected for their role in addressing environmental justice. The long term achievement of environmental justice requires increased representation of people of color in all technical fields related to environment justice. NCSEís National Library for the Environment provides a strong basis for the creation and successful operation of the MSI Environmental Network. chapter07 We doubt very much that Chantal will ever see justice done. With few exceptions, those who commit heinous crimes against women in war are not punished, nor are women granted redress. WAR CRIMES are serious violations of humanitarian law, whether customary or conventional, and include grave breaches and violations of Common Article 3 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Rape and other forms of ual violence have been recognized as serious violations of international humanitarian law in the ICTY. Since judicial systems in Sierra Leone had virtually collapsed by the end of the conflict, the Special Court for Sierra Leone was created by an international treaty between the United Nations and the Government of Sierra Leone to provide justice for crimes committed during the war.18 The innovative Court structure will involve both national and international judges and lawyers and will draw upon international and national legal systems. changingbordersfinal Will criminal courts consider the same factors, and make the same behavioral assumptions, as the juvenile courts? The influx of young offenders to jails and prisons raises significant issues of security and programming for penal institutions. As the editors point out, interest groups that have long operated in the juvenile justice domain will have to follow young offenders into the realm of the criminal courts--or lose influence over what happens to them. For that reason, the editors conclude, it is critically important that policymakers look closely at how the various transfer systems are working in practice, examine how their benefits and drawbacks compare to the likely alternatives, and seek a rational foundation for reform. In the closing decades of the 20th century, America began to fear its youth. 0303JUSTICEITSUMMARIES http://www.nga.org/cda/files/0303JUSTICEITSUMMARIES.pdf The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission will use the funds for three projects: Juvenile Online Tracking System (JOLTS) integration, Adult Probation Information System, and the Automated Order of Protection File. The project's goals are to implement electronic data sharing among the participating county agencies, share communication technology and infrastructure among the county offices, develop and apply data standards to all participating agencies, install new case management systems in offices that have none or need newer systems, and create a model and plan for the other counties to follow. The evaluation of the New Jersey's criminal justice information systems databases is currently taking place. agencydr http://criminaljustice.state.ny.us/crimnet/ojsa/agdir/agencydr.pdf The listing for the New York City Police Department is under City Police Departments but the NYPD has jurisdiction over all five counties.

Colsey, Chief cj_program In a broader sense, this program, located in the School of Public Administration and Urban Studies, uniquely regards criminal justice structures, processes, and issues in a larger, public policy context. Accordingly, courses assess the role, structure, and operation of law enforcement, judicial, correctional, planning and private agencies. Graduate: The School of Public Administration and Urban Studies at San Diego State University also offers a graduate concentration in Criminal Justice Administration within the MPA program. The primary objective of this degree is to prepare qualified graduate students for a variety of leadership roles in government and community service agencies, as well as to provide a solid educational footing for those interested in an advanced degree. movement The growing movement to oppose corporate-led globalization is sometimes called the "citizen backlash to globalization" or the "global justice movement." What they Oppose: The citizen backlash everywhere decries the growth of political and economic power of large global corporations. They also believe that the three main public international economic bodies: the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization favor narrow private interests over the common public good and that these institutions should be drastically reformed or eliminated. The citizen backlash is particularly strong and diverse in the United States, Canada, most European countries, India, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, South Africa, Nigeria, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, and Mexico. pjtt The Project on Justice in Times of Transition is an inter-faculty program of Harvard University under the auspices of the Law School,the Kennedy School of Government, and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Founded in 1992 as part of the New York-based Foundation for a Civil Society, the Project brings together individuals from a broad spectrum of countries to share experiences in ending conflict, establishing peace, and building civil society. Unlike conflict resolution and reconciliation programs that rely on policymakers with little or no first-hand experience,the Project draws on the talents and energies of decision-makers who have worked to steer their own countries out of repression or conflict and creates fora for them to convey practical knowledge to those who are facing similar challenges.
