Subject: [CivilSoc] Responses to Criminal Justice Reform Query

Excessive editorial haste resulted in the recent message from Charles
Bell, excerpted below, going out without Mr. Bell's e-mail address
included. With apologies, here it is: <email@general.inet.ro>
The posting prompted two replies which may be of general interest to
CivilSoc members. Those replies follow Bell's excerpt immediately
below.
"I am currently assessing the feasibility of commencing a quarterly
publication the subject matter of which would be criminal justice
reform in Eastern and Southern European countries and those in
Central Asia. It would include all aspects of criminal justice
reform including provision for juveniles. The purpose of the
publication would be to assist networking and the transfer of
effective practice."

Dear Mr Bell,
I'm not very sure this is your address, but, hey, you didn't
really leave one... We've been doing lots of things with
respect to reforming the Romanian criminal justice system
(amendements to the criminal code, the criminal procedure
code, a draft Bill on counterventions, a draft Bill on
restructuring the entire court system), and would be happy
to share our experience with you. Just let us know, in more
detail, what can we do for you--write articles explaining
our approach to criminal justice reform?, put you in contact
with people at the Ministry of Justice?, send you copies of
our Bills and the related documentation/studies?... You
name it!...
All the best! --Codru
