The Need For A Federal, Australia-Wide Approach To Issues Concerning Crime Victims (Law), Sam Boris Garkawe, Michael O'Connell
The Need For A Federal, Australia-Wide Approach To Issues Concerning Crime Victims (Law), Sam Boris Garkawe, Michael O'Connell
Associate Professor Sam Garkawe
There are now a number of significant Federal crimes that do involve natural persons as crime victims; there are more international instruments and issues that concern victims; and benefits and support for crime victims have increased, raising important Federal questions where crimes are committed overseas against Australians or where residents of one Australian jurisdiction are victimised in another jurisdiction. It is the major contention of this comment that the proliferation of these issues and others now requires a concerted and coordinated Federal response. During this comment we will identify and explore six important issues concerning crime victims that underlie the …
Victims And The International Criminal Court: Three Major Issues, Sam Garkawe
Victims And The International Criminal Court: Three Major Issues, Sam Garkawe
Associate Professor Sam Garkawe
The Statute of the permanent International Criminal Court (the "ICC") agreed to in Rome in 1998 contains many provisions that deal with the specific concerns and rights of victims and survivors of the international crimes that the ICC will have jurisdiction over. It consolidates the work of the two ad hoc international criminal Tribunals (the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda) in this area, but also further enhances the role and rights of victims in a number of innovative ways. These three international criminal Tribunals thus collectively represent an important step forward in the recognition of the suffering and the position of …
The (Human) Rights Of Crime Victims Do Not Necessarily Infringe The Rights Of Accused And Convicted Persons, Sam Garkawe
The (Human) Rights Of Crime Victims Do Not Necessarily Infringe The Rights Of Accused And Convicted Persons, Sam Garkawe
Associate Professor Sam Garkawe
Conclusion: After examining the background to the crime victims' movement in common law developed nations, this chapter argued that victims' rights are in fact human rights. It provided five arguments in favour of this proposition. Accepting that victims' rights are human rights implies that there is nothing unusual about balancing their rights with other human rights holders, in this case, those of accused and convicted persons. The chapter then examined two types of victims' rights that may affect the rights of accused and convicted persons - protection rights and participation rights. Two examples of each were given, showing how policy-makers …

Colin Tatz, With Intent To Destroy: Reflecting On Genocide, Sam Boris Garkawe
Colin Tatz, With Intent To Destroy: Reflecting On Genocide, Sam Boris Garkawe
Associate Professor Sam Garkawe
Professor Colin Tatz has been one ofthe most prominent scholars in the field of the politics of race and genocide, and has dedicated much of his career to 'a profound appreciation of genocide as the ultimate form of racism' (p 14). His most recent book, With Intent To Destroy: Reflecting on Genocide, makes a valuable and impressive contribution to the many debates and issues surrounding the meaning of genocide and its possible applicability to 'advanced' nations traditionally thought to be immune from such accusations. The book draws heavily on previous published articles, papers and speeches by the writer. Within its …

The Effect Of Victim Impact Statements On Sentencing Decisions, Sam Garkawe
The Effect Of Victim Impact Statements On Sentencing Decisions, Sam Garkawe
Associate Professor Sam Garkawe
Part I: Introduction Since the 1970s Victim Impact Statements (‘VIS’) have been used increasingly in many common law jurisdictions. A VIS is generally a written report submitted to the sentencing authority following a guilty verdict or plea, and prior to the sentencing decision. They may vary in content and form, but are meant to include details of the physical, financial, social and psychological effects on the victim of the crime that is the subject of the sentencing hearing. Victims may prepare the VIS themselves, or they may rely on the help of relatives, friends or victim support staff. Police, prosecutors …

Crime Victims And Prisoners' Rights, Sam Garkawe
Associate Professor Sam Garkawe
Summary: "Over the last decade popular cinema has employed a variety of forms of music. These include traditional composed screen music, pre-recorded music tracks, mixes of music and sound effects and various combinations of these. In response to this, film music scholars have developed new ways of understanding and analysing the role of film music in relation to genre, narrative and creative roles and inter-relations in film music scoring. 'Reel Tracks' provides a series of insightful analyses of recent mainstream Australian cinema. Following the editor's careful exploration of film music's relation to national cinema culture and identity, individual chapters offer …

Presentation to the 20th anniversary celebration of the 1985 UN Victims Declaration, held in Canberra on 16 November 2005. INTRODUCTION I first would like to thank the joint organisers of this Conference, the ACT Victims of Crime Coordinator and the ACT Human Rights Office, for inviting me to this Conference that brings together the disciplines of human rights and what is known as victimology, the study of victims. I have always been interested in and have taught both these subjects for quite some time now. At first glance one would think there is much common ground between the disciplines. Victimology …
