Examining what works with girls and women in conflict with the law
Examining what works with girls and women in conflict with the law
This video is included in the Virtual Pass and will be available online from 25 September.
This event will be discussing Professors Gelsthorpe’s recent edited publication with Associate Professor Shelley L. Brown. What Works with Girls and Women in Conflict with the Law (2022) is the leading examination of evidence-based practice in the field of gender-responsive corrections. Adopting an international and intersectional approach, the distinguished authors seek to collect the best available data and thinking on what works with girls and women and apply it to the real-world problems facing correctional systems today. As part of its contextual and rich approach to the subject, What Works with Girls and Women in Conflict with the Law (2022), covers a broad variety of topics, ranging from theories of female involvement in crime, security classification and risk assessment, evidence-based treatment and supervision approaches, special populations (such as Indigenous women), to legal/policy developments in the field of gender-responsive corrections.
