SUMMARY:Workshop: The Future of the Criminal Law
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: The Future of the Criminal Law\nIn-person event \n\n\nIn the current moment\, it is little exaggeration to say the criminal law\, and criminal justice more broadly\, is in crisis. In liberal legal systems such as that of NSW and other Australian jurisdictions\, the idea of a minimalist criminal law (which maximises liberty for individuals) remains a cornerstone principle\, but criminal offences have likely never been so numerous. At the same time\, questions about the efficacy of our laws loom large\, with issues such as gender-based violence\, terrorism\, and bullying presenting as ‘wicked problems’ that seem to both demand and resist solution through the criminal law. In addition\, moral pluralism belies easy assumptions about the extent of social support for criminal laws\, and the role of the criminal law in perpetuating disadvantage for First Nations peoples makes plain its central place in the long shadow of colonialism. In the context of criminal justice\, concerns about the operation of the law in relation to policing of young people and those with mental illnesses\, the purpose and contours of bail laws\, prosecutorial independence\, and coordination between states and territories deepen and expand these problems. \nAgainst this background\, what is the future of the criminal law? Given the fracturing that has occurred across the criminal law field – from orthodox offences and defences to novel constructions with deeming provisions and reverse burdens – does criminal law remain a coherent field? If not\, what do multiple domains of doctrine share\, and what limits the scope of the laws? With victim/survivors and advocates and others telling us what doesn’t work\, is it possible that the criminal law of the future will be reconstructed\, and more circumscribed\, than it is at present? \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop invites participants to engage in a wide-ranging discussion about the future of the criminal law. The workshop will be structured around three sets of discussions: \n\nTechnology and Justice (Chair: Dr Carolyn McKay): Digitalisation has been described as the defining characteristic of 21st century society and its processes are radically transforming the criminal justice system. How do scholars\, activists and others respond empirically\, conceptually and epistemologically to the role of digital technologies in criminality\, control\, courts and punishment?\nLegal Convergence (Chair: Professor Thomas Crofts): It is increasingly common for jurisdictions to compare and draw on approaches in other jurisdictions when reforming criminal law and criminal law practices. What are the challenges and possibilities of borrowing from the criminal law of other jurisdictions? What does this mean for the future of criminal law? Will this lead to convergence of criminal law on shared social issues?\nLegitimacy in Decision-Making and Knowledge Coordination (Chair: Professor Arlie Loughnan): Massive growth in expert knowledges relevant to criminal law decision-making challenges every aspect of criminal law\, from law reform\, to responsibility attribution and evaluation and adjudication in particular cases. How is the criminal law responding to changes in knowledge conditions? What do they mean for authority and coherence of criminal law?\n\n\n\n>>>>>>>>>>>> \n\nFriday 28 June 2024\nTime: 10am-2pm \nVenue: The University of Sydney\, Level 1\, Law Lounge\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown \nCPD Points: TBC \nThis event is being held in-person at Sydney Law School. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThis event is proudly presented by the Sydney Institute of Criminology at the University of Sydney Law School.  \n

SUMMARY:Corruption\, Criminal Law\, and China: Offering and Accepting Bribes
DESCRIPTION:Corruption\, Criminal Law\, and China: Offering and Accepting Bribes\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person event \nThe XII Amendment to Criminal Law of P.R.C adopted by the Standing Committee of People’s Congress on 29 December 2023 is guided by two principles. One is to enhance protection for private enterprises and the other is to punish offering bribes and accepting bribes equally. The reason that accepting bribes\, which has been punished ever since the foundation of P.R.C\, is stressed now is of course the serious situation of bribery. Meanwhile\, although the logic behind this is acceptable\, whether legislative purpose can be realized to a high degree depends on judicial efforts. \nJudging from typical cases and relative statistics\, I believe four principles should be observed in terms of criminal law. In the first place\, different approaches should be taken to deal with offering bribes committed by organizations and individuals. Compliance model might be a choice. Secondly\, crime and civil or administrative violation should be carefully differentiated to prevent criminal punishments from leading to undue harms. Thirdly\, the question whether public authorities can be charged with offering or accepting bribes should be answered in specific context. Finally\, more flexible systems\, such as disqualification and corporate probation\, should be considered. \nSpeaker \nProfessor Zhenjie Zhou\, Vice Dean\, Beijing Normal University School of Law\, China \nZhenjie Zhou\, Professor and Doctor of Law.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author | Olivera Simic | Lola's War: Rape without Punishment
DESCRIPTION:Meet the Author | Olivera Simic | Lola’s War: Rape without Punishment\nDr Olivera Simic\, Associate Professor\, Griffith Law School\, Australia\nIn-person event \nWe invite you to this Visiting Staff Research Seminar with Associate Professor Olivera Simic in conjunction with Professor Emily Crawford at the Sydney Centre for International Law. \nAbout this Seminar \nIn this seminar\, Dr. Simic will speak about her recently published book\, Lola’s War: Rape without Punishment.  The book offers a subtle understanding of the Bosnian war by listening to the voice of Lola\, a rural Bosnian woman who in the first two months of war had become a widow\, displaced\, unemployed\, homeless\, disabled and a sole caretaker of her nine-month-old baby\, four-year-old daughter and six-year-old son with whom she was forcibly taken from her family home to detention and rape camp. In span of only few weeks\, her whole life was torn into pieces and turned into nightmare. In Lola’s War Dr Simić tells extraordinary story of one woman and her three decades long fight for justice. She explores the meanings of transitional justice by using in-depth narrative of a woman\, wartime rape survivor who came out the other side of a trial empty handed and with no justice in sight. Her perpetrator is still at large\, and she lives in continual fear that he will retaliate against her and her children for her role in his trial. \nAbout the Speaker \n \nOlivera Simić is an Associate Professor with the Griffith Law School\, a feminist and a human rights activist. Dr Simić was born in the former Yugoslavia and lived through the Yugoslav Wars (1991-1999). She was nineteen years old\, studying the first year of a law degree in Bosnia and Herzegovina when the Bosnian War broke out in 1992. Initially as a refugee and later as a migrant\, Dr Simić lived and studied in Eastern and Western Europe\, the USA and South America\, before coming to Australia in 2006. She has published four monographs and eight co-edited collections\, numerous book chapters\, journal articles and personal narratives. They draw on hundreds of interviews with victims\, perpetrators and bystanders of the wars. The stories of people who struggle with post-war trauma and seek some form of justice for crimes they survived\, particularly women\, are at the heart of Dr Simić’s work. Dr Simić was a nominee for the Penny Pether Prize for Scholarship in Law\, Literature and the Humanities\, and won the Peace Women Award from Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF\, Australian branch). \n——————————— \nMonday\, 13 November 2023\nTime: 12.45- 2.00pm \nVenue: University of Sydney\, Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Camperdown\, Gadigal Land\, 2006.
