“…Moreover, once the contract had been successfully completed and "signed off"by the youth court, the original conviction wouldbe regarded as spent ... (Dignan, 1999, p. 59). This goes further than the 1980s notion that reparation be made a "condition" of probation (Schneider, 1982), but it retains (indeed enhances) the degree of responsibility entrusted to treatment or youth work authorities. Courts are marginalised here in order to better allow treatment agencies to do their work in a responsible fashion.…”

New Configurations of Justice and Services for the Vulnerable: Panacea or Panegyric?

A ccessible justice (tribunals). integrated justice (drug courts). community justice (sentencing circles or "conferencing"), group justice (ulysses agreements). and contractual justice (private "settlements") are new ways of tackling old problems; often ones involving vulnerable groups.Vulnerable groups pose particular challenges about whether the state should intervene. in what ways. and whether through the legal. medical. or welfare systems. New programs. with new objectives and new sectoral boundaries. necessarily raise new questions. Questions about ethical foundations. Questions about implications for "citizenship". or for the rule of law. or for distributional equity.And questions about program "effectiveness". This paper identifies common themes and patterns in the reforms. including "active" rather than passive adjudication. judicial commitment to realisation of identified goals, intersectoral collaboration, community input or control. and use of privatised "contraetualist" metaphors. It considers the extent to which this reflects globalisation (harmonisation with civil law experience). or is emblematic of "postmodernism" (better attuning programs to diversity and fluidity). or other theoretical positions (such as contractualism and republican citizenship). It is argued that these experiments should be cautiously welcomed. subject to rigorous assessment of their merits. since their over-enthusiastic adoption risks breaches of fundamental ethical. civil citizenship, or medico-legal precepts. and may allow theory to outstrip its evidentiary base. Innovation and experimentation in criminal justice or civil treatment is commendable. especially in social policy areas littered with the detritus of prior program failures, or beset with tricky conundrums. Such experimentation has taken place for centuries, despite the thorny ethical or policy issues which can arise (Auerbach, 1983; Kittrie, 1971). A revised version of a paper presented at the 24th Congress of the Academy of Law and Mental Health, Toronto, 16-18June 1999. I am indebted to Myra Cheng for research assistance in finalising this paper, and comments by two anonymous reviewers.

“…It should be noted that although studies have explored the imposition and effects of monetary sanctions on post-sentencing outcomes among general samples of offenders (e.g., Blattenberger, Fowles, & Krantz, 2010; Butts & Snyder, 1992; George & Olympia, 2012; A. L. Schneider, 1986; P. R. Schneider, Griffith, & Schneider, 1982), we focus only on those studies that specifically tested the impact of monetary sanctions on probation outcomes.…”

Recent critiques of the decision to make monetary sanctions a condition of probation have suggested that the practice could hinder the successful completion of probation. However, few studies have explored this relationship empirically, and among those that do, the findings are relatively inconclusive and often dependent on the sample and measures used. Building on this research, the current study examines the imposition of four monetary sanctions on a sample of felony cases involving indigent adult probationers from a Florida public defender’s office. The results indicate that although monetary sanctions have relatively little impact on probation violations generally, the effects of these penalties vary based on the severity of the violation. Legal factors are consistently the most significant predictors of the likelihood and severity of probation violations.
