SUMMARY:CJPE Webinar: Victim’s Rights in Prison & Probation – What is our Role?
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the EU Victims’ Rights Directive and of the evaluation process promoted by the European Commission concerning its implementation in Europe\, this webinar organised by the Criminal Justice Platform Europe aims to explore the role of prison and probation services in ensuring victim’s rights. What are the important elements of the Victims’ Rights Directive in this regard and what are the lessons learned? In particular\, how do prison and probation services address the victims’ right to information? Starting with practice examples from prison and probation services the webinar will discuss the broader situation of victims’ rights in different legal systems and specifically in prison and probation. The webinar will also focus on the need of an interagency systemic approach and on how these fields could better coordinate their work with victim support services and other (e.g. restorative justice) services coming into contact with victims.

SUMMARY:Launch of the Model Legislative Provisions for Victims of Terrorism
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism/UN Counter-Terrorism Centre (UNOCT/UNCCT)\, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU)\, invite you to the Launch of the Model Legislative Provisions\, which will take place virtually on Friday 4 February at 8:30am EST. \nThe event aims to bring together Member States\, Members of Parliament\, United Nations entities and civil society organizations\, victims’ associations and victims of terrorism for the official Launch of the model legislative provisions and to discuss how legal frameworks can strengthen national support for the rights and needs of victims. \nVictims of terrorist acts frequently suffer severe\, multiple and lifealtering injuries\, akin to harm suffered by victims of grave human\nrights violations and international crimes. In addition to other forms of\nreparation\, compensation for harm suffered can play an important role\nin enabling victims to move on with their lives. \nThe purpose of developing model legislative provisions was twofold. First\,\nthey will serve as a model for the review of existing laws and procedures\nrelated to victims of terrorism in line with recent advances on this subject\nmatter and the development of legislation where no legislation exists.\nSecondly\, the provisions can systematize and promote the exchange of\ninformation regarding existing good practices. Additionally\, the development\nof model provisions can serve to draw attention to the urgency of taking\nconcrete steps to protect\, assist and support victims of terrorism.\nIn the framework of the IPU-UN Joint Programme on Countering Terrorism\nand Violent Extremism\, between November 2020 and January 2021\, UNOCT\,\nUNODC and IPU convened a series of virtual expert consultations on specific\nthemes to be covered by the model legislative provisions. These virtual\nconsultations followed the organization of an online Expert Consultation on\nModel Provisions regarding victims of terrorism organized on 14–15 July\n2020 with participants from national institutions\, parliaments\, civil society\norganizations and academic institutions as well as experts from other parts\nof the United Nations system and from regional organizations. The Model\nLegislative Provisions for Victims of Terrorism have been developed with\nthe support of a core group of experts composed of different UN Entities\,\nacademia\, representative of victims’ associations and victims themselves.\nThe event aims to bring together Member States\, Members of Parliament\,\nUnited Nations entities and civil society organizations\, victims’ associations\nand victims of terrorism for the official Launch of the model legislative\nprovisions and to discuss how legal frameworks can strengthen national\nsupport for the rights and needs of victims. \nPlease kindly express your availability by registering using the following link no later than Thursday 3 February 2022 COB.

SUMMARY:Webinar – Coming together and re-connecting
DESCRIPTION:COVID restrictions have made it a difficult 18 months to connect and have space to talk about our work and listen to others. We know these opportunities to learn from each other are one of the most valuable aspects of our network which is why we want to create this moment where we can all talk and hear about the amazing work you are all doing. A moment to come together as a community hearing from new and seasoned VSE members alike. \nDuring the event\, you will have a chance to showcase your activities\, projects\, challenges and successes and explore how we may be supportive of each others’ work.

Pech stalked her for weeks mainly targeting her at London’s exclusive Harvey Nichols\, where she worked as a beauty consultant.

This includes Chairing statutory Domestic Homicide Reviews\, advising panels and investigations on complex and high profile murders\, advising and training professionals in threat and risk assessment\, and working with organisations like the police in developing policy and practice. She acts as an expert witness and also helps families bereaved through homicide with various criminal justice processes\, through her work with charitable organisations. \nDr Rachael Wheatley – Forensic Psychologist\, HMPPS\, UK \nRachael Wheatley works with stalking offenders within a custodial setting with an emphasis on what drove their behaviour and how practitioners can respond to this in relation to considering desistance from further offending. \nHamish Brown MBE – A specialist in the offence of stalking and harassment \nHamish Brown MBE is the recognised leading authority on the interpretation and application of stalking legislation in the United Kingdom.
