About the conference
In a changing social landscape certain community groups are relegated to the bottom of policy and
funding agendas. To prevent the most marginalised voices from being drowned out, the call for
action is greater than ever. Without such, our efforts to build a fairer and more inclusive society will
prove futile.
The IARS Annual Conference 2013 will bridge this gap by launching new research and debating
recent developments in three main areas: race & the criminal justice system, gender & abuse, and
restorative justice & rehabilitation.
Academics, community leaders, politicians and representatives of key organisations will come
together to explore these issues. The conference will open with keynote speeches which will then be
complemented with three expert panels structured around IARS 2013 research programmes.
About the Panels
Panel 1: "Pushing the barriers of restorative justice and rehabilitation through psychology"
The panel will debate findings from the recent publication Gavrielides, T. and Worth, P. (2013).
“Another push for restorative justice: Positive psychology & offender rehabilitation” in Crime:
International Perspectives, Socioeconomic Factors and Psychological Implications", USA: Nova
Science Publishers. What can restorative justice learn from positive psychology? Is there anything to
be gained from this relationship for rehabilitation theories? How can the victim and the community
be brought into the rehabilitation debate?
Panel 2: "No more abuse for refugee and asylum seeking women"
The panel will debate the findings of a three year IARS project co-funded by Comic Relief and Matrix
Chambers on increasing gender sensitivity in the treatment of refugee and asylum-seeking women.
The IARS 2013 book "Abused no More, the Voices of Refugee and Asylum Seeking women" will be
launched.
Panel 3: "Race equality in a changing criminal justice system"
The current reforms in the criminal justice system and the restructure of the probation service have
shaken a number of priorities including those relating to race equality. Following an independent
review of the London Probation Trust and the production of the 2013 LPT-IARS book "Race in
Probation", this panel will debate new evidence on improving outcomes for black and minority
ethnic users of probation.
