We’re excited to announce that the recent release of Sharon Duignan’s new book ‘Transforming Justice for Women’ is now available to read online (or download chapters) in our online collection! (login with your ATU email address and password).
This book delves into the transformative efforts that sought to redefine punishment and rehabilitation, highlighting the pivotal role of Community Service Orders (CSO) and the legislative push to abandon the use of Short-Term Prison Sentences (STPS) for fine default. However, a deeper investigation reveals a critical oversight: the unique predicaments of women entangled in the criminal justice system were neglected.
- Offers a gender-focused analysis of penal policy
- Provides a detailed analysis of sentencing discretion and short-term sentencing for women
- Presents a comprehensive study of legislative reforms and their impact
Congratulations Sharon!
