131	'Under a magnifying glass':The experiences of social service use for mothers living with HIV Vaccaro, Mary-Elizabeth 11 1900 (has links) This study explores the subjective experiences of mothers living with HIV from Southeastern Ontario when accessing health and social services. Drawing on principles of feminist participatory action research, 5 MLWH were brought together in order to share their stories of accessing health and social services and to participate in the creation of a collage as part of the storytelling process. Intersectional feminist theory was chosen as a theoretical lens for this project to highlight the ways women’s multiple identities intersect and contribute to HIV-stigma. Emerging from the storytelling and arts based process were stories about the women’s interactions with the criminal justice system, Children’s Aid Societies, social welfare programs and women-specific supports. The key concerns that the women raised in connection to these interactions included having to re-tell their story, concerns about confidentiality and disclosure and experiencing a loss of control as a result of depending on a myriad of health and social services. In addition, the participants identified changes they would like to see within health/social services including more opportunities for peer support and an increase in services available to support the unique psychosocial challenges of MLWH. / Thesis / Master of Social Work (MSW) HIV women mothers arts-based research collage feminist participatory action research FPAR art social service use service user HIV-positve mother HIV-positive women children's aid society criminal justice system marginalized women social welfare programs HIV related stigma feminist research HIV-positive WLWH MLWH action research

133	The role of a probation officer in diversion of children from the criminal justice system : a penological perspective Dlamalala, Cynthia Nkosazana 02 1900 (has links) Children are the most vulnerable group. Their protection should be a priority for society. In particular, those who are accused of committing crime need to be protected from entering the criminal justice system and measures should be put in place to prevent the stigmatisation associated with having a criminal record. Such protection is endorsed by section 28 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996).This study outlines the role played by a probation officer in the diversion process. This was achieved by examining international and national instruments that promote the protection of children in conflict with the law. The Child Justice Act No. 75 of 2008 forms part of national instruments. It provides guidelines for probation officers and other stake holders in the justice system on how to deal with children who are accused of committing crimes. Recommendations on the identified challenges and gaps are made. / Corrections Management / M.A. (Corrections Management) Child Juvenile Youthful offender Probation officer Diversion Criminal justice system Juvenile justice Child justice Best interest of the child Children in conflict with the law 364.63083 Juvenile justice, Administration of Juvenile probation Juvenile probation -- South Africa Juvenile corrections Juvenile corrections -- South Africa Probation officers Probation officers -- South Africa Children -- Legal status, laws, etc. Alternatives to imprisonment

135	The Saskatchewan adult attendance centre project (1979-84) : a case history Collier, Dilys Mary 25 October 2010 The purpose of this case history was to view the development of the Saskatchewan Adult Attendance Centre Project through the perspective of currently accepted, but selected, adult education philosophy, principles, and techniques. The Project was a mandatory adult education component of Probation Services, a program for adult offenders operated by Saskatchewan Corrections. The story of the evolution from 1979 to 1984 of the two Adult Attendance Centres of the Project, based in the cities of Regina and Saskatoon, was presented in the context of an historical overview of the education of adults in the Corrections systems of Britain, the United States, and Canada. The Attendance Centres were not set up as adult education institutions. They were intended to be cost effective alternatives to incarceration. The study maintained that sentencing that included attendance at the Centres was more cost effective for the provincial government than incarceration or traditional probation. It argued that the kind of education presented to adult probationers in the Centre programs often strayed from currently accepted adult education philosophy, principles, and techniques. None the less, significant potential existed in the Centres for the creation of more meaningful adult education opportunities for persons on probation. justice John Howard Society John Howard incarceration Federal correctional policy in Canada English prisons English prison education Federal correctional policy Elizabeth Fry Elizabeth Fry Society Dilys Collier Canadian justice system Corrections Saskatoon corrections Corrections Canada correctional system criminal justice system Canada's penitentiary system case history British correctional system Bridewell Borstal Bridewell schools British adult education British Prison Education Australian prisons Australian attendance centre Australian adult education adult continuing education adult attendance centre attendance centre adult education principles justice system adult education Saskatchewan correctional system Saskatchewan Justice Saskatchewan Department of Justice Otto Dreidger Prairie Justice Research penitentiaries in the United States parole prison education probation probationers probation services Robert A.
