Abstract

ABSTRACT This article assesses the need for veterans’ courts or lists in Australia. While evidence suggests that former and returned service personnel are over-represented in criminal justice institutions, insufficient attention has been paid to the desirability and feasibility of a veterans’ court or list in Australia. In accordance with therapeutic jurisprudence principles, a specialist court such as this would divert eligible individuals from standard court processes into a track focused on treatment and rehabilitation. In this article, we assess the available data addressing veterans’ interactions with the criminal justice system and analyse the relevance of the overseas experience for Australia. We identify the considerations relevant to the establishment of a veterans’ court or veterans’ list and argue that a bespoke veterans’ justice pathway should be considered in order to enhance the responsiveness of the criminal justice system to the specific needs of returned service personnel, and to expand the scope of therapeutic approaches to crime in Australian jurisdictions.
为那些服务的人服务?:对澳大利亚退伍军人法庭或退伍军人名单需求的批判性评估
摘要本文评估了澳大利亚退伍军人法庭或退伍军人名单的需求。尽管有证据表明,退役军人和退役军人在刑事司法机构中的代表人数过多,但对澳大利亚设立退伍军人法庭或退伍军人名单的可取性和可行性关注不足。根据治疗法学原则,这样的专业法庭将把符合条件的个人从标准的法庭程序转移到专注于治疗和康复的轨道上。在这篇文章中,我们评估了退伍军人与刑事司法系统互动的可用数据,并分析了海外经验对澳大利亚的相关性。我们确定了与建立退伍军人法庭或退伍军人名单相关的考虑因素,并认为应考虑定制退伍军人司法途径,以提高刑事司法系统对回国服务人员具体需求的响应能力,并扩大澳大利亚司法管辖区犯罪治疗方法的范围。
