Session objective | To examine the elements of the partnership between the UN Office of Drug Control (UNODC), Eurasian Harm Reduction Network (EHRN) and the Law Enforcement and HIV Network (LEAHN) in promoting harm reduction and to showcase examples of good collaboration, campaigns and training resources. | What are the implications for the organizational design of the state and for the roles of professionals in formerly separate policy domains? What are the societal effects of social policing, both in terms of effectiveness and in terms of normative issues? Can we have ’too much’ prevention? |
In times of crisis the police and public health care are often convicted to each other, and forced to work together under the supervision of a city council. Collaborations like these tend to initiate general, repetitive processes and incidents that re-occur. We aim to present participants’ concrete learning points for constructive and fruitful collaborations in the future. | 3.45 – 4.25 Reducing incarceration by testing Justice Reinvestment theory and methodology: an exploratory case studyThe key elements in building sustainable collaborations between health and service providers have been through continuous consultations and community forums generated through the research: often these services do not get the opportunity interact in a regular basis.

Session title | The LEPH Debate | ||||||
Location | Aula | ||||||
Chair | |||||||
Topic | How wide or narrow should the police’s remit be?
The police job is to intervene in “every kind of emergency”. Police are involved in various crime fighting, order maintenance and social service functions. And police officers often take the lead in dealing with a wide range of non-crime problems, including public health issues, school discipline and immigration. But does a wide remit stretch the front-line and unnecessarily criminalise non-crime issues? Or does the police’s commitment to public safety carry an implicit obligation to also tackle wider social and public health concerns? |

Session objective | Describe key-points from the prison aftercare program in the Netherlands including findings from the 17UP study. This session will highlight the latest insights on specific needs of (former) detainees in the Netherlands and how these needs are met. | The session will describe three methods currently in use in the UK utilising multi-agency partnerships as a means of reducing the on-going risks associated with convicted child sexual abusers. | Until now, in the historiography on the heroin epidemic in the Netherlands more attention has been paid to the local government and public health services than to the police. Disclosing the origins of the contacts, cooperation and mutual influence between the justice system and mental health care will be instructive for the present. | 11.30 – 12.10

Session objective | 4.00 – 4.40
A consulting-hour for frequent offenders Frequent offenders in the center of Amsterdam, who wish to better their lives, are offered the opportunity to visit a consulting-hour – a unique and very successful collaboration between police, justice, providers of (mental) health care and social services. Its aim is to break through the vicious circle of crime and nuisance caused by the frequent offender. The Australian National Strategy against Binge Drinking is a national response to binge drinking amongst youth. The Tasmanian Early Intervention Pilot Program (TEIPP) started in 2010. This presentation outlines the impact of the initiative to date and asks the question whether inter-organisational ties can be better portrayed to the public to increase public awareness of the scheme and prevention of youth binge drinking.

Session objective | The case of Petra, a 17-year old female student who was raped by a boy she had been kissing in a bar after a night out with friends, will be presented and be a basis for presentation of the integrated care provided to victims of rape by the Police Force Amsterdam, the Public Health Service Amsterdam and psychotherapists associated with the project. | The session will report the results of a recently published (May 2014) independent evaluation of the “Stop it Now!” Helplines operating in both the UK and the Netherlands – which are based upon a public health approach to tackling child sexual abuse – and will highlight the key points to consider in developing and introducing something similar in a particular nation or cultural context. | 2.00 – 2.40
