Justice across borders : sentence transfer in Europe and Australia

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    In light of the completion of the Implementation of Sentence Transfer in European Probation (ISTEP) project and the final conference in Lithuania in May 2013 it is appropriate to consider wider issues of sentence transfer and how this complex process might be carried out. ISTEP supported Framework Decision (FD) 947 which allows for the transfer of sentenced probationers in Europe. This article compares the European process, under Framework decision 947, with the Australian process in the Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) region under the Cross-Border Justice Scheme. It suggests that although there are significant differences in the two regimes they both provide insight into how sentence transfer might successfully be carried out.
