Redress for Institutional Abuse of Children

The Unique Case of Norway

Norway is unique in the world of redress with its complexity, fragmentation, and intensity of deliberative and administrative activity. This report synthesises the historical and socio-political contexts of Norway’s response to institutional abuse of children and related historical/policy wrongs, and it shows the outcomes of national and municipal redress schemes for marginalised groups and care leavers. At the national level, Norway is attempting to come to terms with past wrongs associated with Norwegianisation policies against the Sámi and Kven and the Romani/Tater, and with discrimination against war children and their mothers. For these marginalised groups, there have been national investigations, apologies, a truth commission, collective redress, and individual payments. Members of marginalised groups were in residential or foster care; thus, many are also care leavers. There have been national and municipal investigations of institutional abuse of children, apologies, a national gratia scheme payment, and 72 municipal redress schemes for care leavers, more than any other country in the world. The report reveals significant differences in average payments for two types of municipal schemes and examines why it occurred. Such differences, which have been known anecdotally for some time by Norwegians, have fostered concerns of unfair and discriminatory treatment of ‘equal cases’. An analysis of ten high payment schemes shows that the average payment in Norway’s Municipal Institutions-Stavanger model ranks third after payments in Ireland Institutions and Indian Residential Schools-IAP, two schemes well known to have high average payments.

Remaking Justice after Sexual Violence

Essays in Conventional, Restorative, and Innovative Justice

What are effective responses to sexual violence? A global social movement is once again challenging sexual violence in all its settings: where we live, work, study, sleep, play, and pray. As more victims and survivors report to the police, speak out in street protests and online spaces, and disclose to psychologists, inquiries, and the media, they face inept and insensitive criminal and civil justice systems. What is to be done? This anthology provides an answer. Kathleen Daly has been writing on crime and justice for four decades, joining empirical inquiry with feminist, critical race, criminological, and socio-legal theories. This anthology of 11 previously published works (1989 to 2020) and two new essays shows the evolution of her ideas on the strengths and limits of conventional, restorative, and innovative justice in response to sexual violence. Daly argues that ‘what is to be done’ is to remake justice as if victims and survivors mattered. This entails blending criminal justice with innovative justice mechanisms and providing a menu of options for victims and admitted offenders within and outside conventional justice.

Conventional and innovative justice responses to violent victimisation (2008-present).

This project investigates the emergence, operation, and impact of innovative justice responses to victims of sexual violence for a global sample of countries over two decades (1990-2009). It expands the scale and scope of my previous research on restorative and Indigenous justice in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada by including a wider set of nations and justice practices in the developed and developing world, and in different socio-political contexts (conflict, post-conflict, and peace). This project is funded by the ARC.

The SAJJ-CJ project, gender and race politics of new justice practices, restorative justice in race and gendered violence, and indigenous sentencing courts (2004-2016)

The South Australia Juvenile Justice and Criminal Justice (SAJJ-CJ) Project on Conferencing and Sentencing gathered and analysed data on the race and gender politics of new justice practices in Australia (South Australia and Queensland) and New Zealand. Sub-studies include an archival study of sexual offence cases finalised in Youth court and by conference and formal caution; interview studies of victim advocacy groups and of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women's views on restorative justice in handling cases of sexual and gendered violence; analyses of sentencing remarks in youth sexual assault cases; and observational and interview studies of urban Indigenous sentencing courts and other justice practices in more remote areas of Australia. Both projects have been funded by the ARC.

Restorative justice and conferencing, including the SAJJ project and recidivism studies (1996-2008)

The South Australian Juvenile Justice (SAJJ) Project on Conferencing gathered and analysed data for 89 youth justice conferences in South Australia in 1998. SAJJ-eligible offences were all types of violent offences and property offences involving individual victims or community victims (e.g. schools, but not department stores). Observations of the conferences were joined with self-administered surveys of the police and coordinators, and with in-depth interviews of youthful offenders and victims in 1998, and again, in 1999. The early papers (above) analyse data from a preliminary study of conferences in the ACT and South Australia in 1995-96, a preliminary study of conferences and sex offences, and present my early views on the idea of restorative justice. Other papers include conferences and re-offending and overviews of conference practices in the region.
