VICTIMS, CITIZENSHIP, AND JUSTICE

My expertise is in victims’ and human rights, victim participation, gender and violence, and access to justice. My research projects have examined victims’ rights in both domestic and international criminal justice settings, and the accountability strategies of state justice institutions.

I am a psychologist with research interests in victimology, victims’ rights, restorative justice, procedural justice, rehabilitation. My mission is to improve the justice system by enhancing procedural justice and dialogue between citizens and (medico)legal professionals in order to meet people’s needs. I am enthusiastic about conducting empirical legal research across the psychological, medical, and legal discipline and collaborating (inter)nationally with academics, professionals and policy makers.

I am a doctoral researcher in Sociology. Over the past decade, I have worked on issues concerning human trafficking, migration, and informal labour in India. My PhD research is a multi-sited ethnography of how internal migrant workers (sex workers, construction workers, brick kiln workers) navigate the legal system in India, focusing on their experience with bureaucracy, time, and rights claim.

My research focuses on the meaning of justice for people who have been subjected to sexual violence and how this knowledge can be used to expand and develop strategies which could meet the justice interests of victim-survivors. My research includes survivor-centred justice, victims’ rights, Nordic law, procedural justice, standards of proof, criminal law, civil law, administrative law, compensation, and alternative approaches to justice.

My expertise is in interaction between victims and third-party observers, both in professional settings (e.g., courtroom/restorative justice processes) and social settings (e.g., on social media). I research both supportive and negative (e.g., victim blaming) interactions. My focus is on victim participation in Dutch criminal Law. I use both social scientific (quantitative and qualitative) and legal methodologies.

My research focuses on law, justice and politics in the Philippines as well as the role of the rule of law in ASEAN integration. I am a Filipino lawyer who has worked in both the private and government sectors in the Philippines. My projects have focused on interaction between formal and informal, hybrid and local mechanisms and processes of rule of law, justice, peacebuilding and women in post-conflict setting (Mindanao, Philippines).

My expertise is in victims’ rights law and access to justice through direct victim participation in criminal justice proceedings within the USA.  I am both a Clinical Law Professor and a practitioner, directing the National Crime Victim Law Institute (NCVLI.org), which works on cases in state, federal and military courts across the United States. My research extends to victim representation and participation models at the International Criminal Court.

My expertise is in comparative cross- national and cross-cultural research on criminal justice and penal systems. I research perpetrators and victims in transitional justice, emotions, crime and justice.

My research has focused on victims’ rights, private prosecution, access to justice, and criminal procedure reforms in Latin America. I am interested in understanding the factors that lead to various forms of miscarriages of justice (such as impunity or wrongful convictions).

I am currently teaching criminal law (principle of Indonesia criminal law, penology, and victimology) and law and human rights law courses at Universitas Indonesia. I do research and publications on criminal law and human rights issues. I am a managing editor in Indonesia Criminal Law Review (ICLR) in Faculty of Law UI and reviewer in selected law journals.

I draw on anthropology of the law to examine state policies related to legal identity and citizenship. I examine how these policies have an impact on the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of citizen access to public services and legal protection (the issue of injustice). My research and teaching is related to the problems experienced by women in accessing their rights of legal protection.

My expertise is in Indonesian courts and justice systems, criminal law, human rights, access to justice for women, people with a disability, and vulnerable children.

My background is in anthropology, educational sciences, & victimology. I study, whether, and if so how (quasi- and non) judicial transitional justice procedures affect the daily lives of those who have survived gross human rights violations. My expertise is in transitional justice and reparations; & participation, state-survivors’ relations in post-conflict societies including Peru, Colombia, Cyprus, Guatemala, the DRC, Guinea, & Iraq.
