Item Metadata only Child sex offender public disclosure scheme: The views of applicants using the English pilot disclosure scheme.(Taylor Francis, 2011) Kemshall, Hazel, 1958-; Kelly, Gill; Wilkinson, BernadetteItem Metadata only Child Sex Offender Review (CSOR) public disclosure pilots: a process evaluation.(Home Office, 2010) Kemshall, Hazel, 1958-; Wood, Jason, 1978-; Westwood, Sue; Stout, Brian; Wilkinson, Bernadette; Kelly, Gill; Mackenzie, GillItem Open Access Delinquants transfrontaliers: comment elaborer une approche europeene? Lecons du project SOMEC.(Aj Penal, 2017-10-31) Kemshall, Hazel, 1958-; Kelly, Gill; Evans, MartineAssessing and managing those individuals who pose a risk of committing a serious violent or sexual crime is challenging. Identifying who they are with an acceptable degree of accuracy, and then formulating effective plans for their safe management is demanding. Developing robust, agreed and acceptable criteria for their identification coupled with reliable assessment tools and management techniques is a challenging task at local, national and at European Union level. This article draws on a recent project SOMEC (Serious Offending by Mobile European Criminals) in order to present some key lessons on how to develop a robust approach to the development of appropriate procedures. Reference is made to the Offender Management User Guidance, produced by SOMEC for use by criminal justice personnel across the 28 Member States. The article begins with some background information on the presenting problem of serious sexual and violent offenders both in within Member States and those who travel across the EU. The article then reviews the SOMEC project objectives, and key lessons learnt for the conduct of the study itself for the subsequent development of User Guidance and robust risk assessment and management procedures for serious offenders.Item Open Access Information Exchange, Monitoring and Management- A Fieldwork Study of Current Responses by Member States.(SOMEC European Union, 2015-11) Kemshall, Hazel, 1958-; Hilder, Sarah; Kelly, Gill; Wilkinson, BernadetteSOMEC is a two-year project running from January 2013 to January 2015 investigating current processes for information exchange and procedures to manage the harm posed by serious violent or sexual offenders travelling across the European Union. SOMEC is co-funded by the European Commission Directorate-General for Home Affairs - HOME/2011/AG/4000002521 30-CE-0519712/00-87.Item Open Access Offender Management Guidance in work with serious violent or sexual offenders who are mobile across the EU(European Union and Confederation of European Probation, 2015) Kemshall, Hazel, 1958-; Kelly, Gill; Wilkinson, Bernadette; Hilder, SarahThis guidance for Offender Management/Probation (OM) personnel has been produced following the recommendations of the Serious Offending by Mobile European Criminals (SOMEC) field work study completed in January 2015. The Guidance will be relevant to practitioners who work with and supervise serious violent or sexual offenders whether in the community or in custodial settings (including Probation and prison settings and other custodial settings such as designated psychiatric units). It will also be relevant to service managers at both local and national levels and to criminal justice policy-makers and others with responsibility for the design of services. These materials could also provide the basis of information presentations and training events.Item Metadata only Serious Offending by Mobile European Criminals (SOMEC) Information Exchanges, Monitoring and Management - A Field Work Study of Current Responses by Member States(Home Office & De Montfort University, 2015-01-21) Kemshall, Hazel, 1958-; Hilder, Sarah; Kelly, Gill; Wilkinson, BernadetteSOMEC was a two-year project running from January 2013 to January 2015 investigating current processes for information exchange and procedures to manage the harm posed by serious violent or sexual offenders travelling across the European Union. De Montfort University were the research lead in partnership with Law Enforcement and Offender Management Agencies across the UK, Latvia, The Netherlands and Catalonia, SpainItem Open Access Serious Offending by Mobile European Criminals: Comparative field work report.(European Union and confederation of European Probation, 2015) Kemshall, Hazel, 1958-; Hilder, Sarah; Kelly, Gill; Wilkinson, Bernadette; Westwood, SueA number of tragic examples have exposed weaknesses within the European Union (EU) where a serious violent or sexual offender has travelled to one Member State from another without any public safety organisation within the receiving Member State being made aware of the harm they may pose.1 Often only once a further criminal act has occurred have checks been made, revealing antecedents and an indication of the previously known concerns. Serious violent or sexual offenders are therefore able to integrate into communities across the EU free from any management, supervision or surveillance, which may lead to an increase in the risk to public safety. Whilst significant strides have been made in EU community law enforcement cooperation to address issues of organised crime, human trafficking, child exploitation, terrorism and football hooliganism, the “common interest” of protecting EU citizens from the single transient serious violent or sexual offender has not been so apparent.Item Open Access What works’ in work with sexual offenders.(European Union and Confederation of European Probation, 2015) Kemshall, Hazel, 1958-; Kelly, GillThis review provides a summary of ‘what works’ with sexual offenders and seeks to highlight key research on sexual offenders, their assessment, interventions, and broader management responses. The review identifies the most effective responses as supported by the current state of research evidence, approaches under development, and identifies areas of potential good practice. Violent offenders are the subject of a separate short overview document.1 The term ‘dangerous offender’ is purposely avoided, as it is open to considerable debate and interpretation. The SOMEC project has focused on serious violent or sexual offenders, using a tighter focus on specific offence types resulting in serious physical harm or psychological trauma. The review is not exhaustive and is limited by access to English speaking publications with some limited reference to European publications. The methodology and search strategy are outlined in the body of the report and follow the expected process and standards for reviews of this type.
