Mar. 5 | CPEP – “Beyond the Walls: Community-based Punishments”

• In-person event

What are your experiences with community-based punishments?

The Criminalization and Punishment Education Project (CPEP) is organizing a public forum on community-based punishments. If you have been or are currently on a community supervision order, a loved one of someone affected by community supervision, a front-line social service worker, volunteer or advocate with experience in this subject matter, we invite you to share your experiences and concerns about community-based punishments.

CPEP understands that speaking out can carry risks and we will protect the identities of event participants upon request.

Participation in the event is welcome in various formats including:

• Speaking in person at the event.
• Providing information over the phone or in a written statement via e-mail or by mail to be read at the event by CPEP members or other people you may choose.
• Video or audio interviews (your identity can be hidden).
• Art work, poetry, short stories or other pieces of work related to community-based punishments.

If you have any questions about this event and/or would like to participate please contact Adina Ilea at cpep.action@gmail.com or 613-875-8881 or mail Adina Ilea, Department of Criminology, University of Ottawa, 120 University, Ottawa, On K1N 6N5.

CPEP brings students and researchers from Carleton University and the University of Ottawa and community members together with those affected by criminalization and punishment to identify key issues to be the focus of criminological inquiry, develop collaborative research projects, as well as plan and carry out related public education initiatives.
