Morning Session - Judge Barry Stuart JUDGE BARRY STUART'S professional interests have always centered on decision-making processes, conflict resolution and the design and development of consensus building processes. Judge Stuart's law career began at Queens University, from which he graduated in 1969. That year he won the silver medal for finishing second in his class. He then went on to do post graduate work at the London School of Economics and at the University of Michigan, where he studied International Law and Public Dispute Problem Solving. He has practised law with a neighbourhood law clinic in London, England, a public interest group in Nova Scotia, and with the firm of Shrum Liddle and Hebenton in Vancouver. Judge Stuart went on to develop an international reputation. He left his mark in Papua New Guinea, South Africa and Indonesia. In Papua New Guinea, he was involved a wide range of issues, including constitutional law, self-government, resource management and community development. From 1973 to 1977 he served as counsel for the Cabinet of the newly independent state of Papua New Guinea in their central planning office. In 1983 he returned to serve as co-commissioner of the Papua New Guinea National Law and Order Study. His work earned him the Independence Medal of Papua New Guinea. In the Yukon, Judge Stuart is well-known for his work as the Chief Negotiator for the land and self-government treaties. On the bench, Stuart has been committed to the exploration of new and innovative ways to address the challenges faced by the justice system. His landmark decision in Regina versus Moses provided a key framework for the use of circles in sentencing offenders in Criminal Code matters. Regina versus United Keno Hill Mines, written over twenty years ago, remains a leading authority on sentencing for environmental offences. These judgements, and many others, are referred to by courts, academics, governments and organisations around the world. In the Yukon, they are must-reads for lawyers. Judge Stuart has also imparted his knowledge to others through his many teaching endeavours. He was an assistant and associate Professor of Law at Osgood Hall and Dalhousie Law School respectively, and a visiting Professor at the University of Waterloo and at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Throughout his career, Judge Stuart was a sought-after lecturer on such topics as conflict resolution, mediation, consensus decision making and environmental law. At home, he has been instrumental in the training of Yukon Justices of the Peace. One study conducted by Judge Barry Stuart in Canada in 1996 indicated that recidivism was less likely among offenders who had participated in circles than among offenders who were processed traditionally (Stuart, 1996). Those who have been involved with circles report that circles empower participants to resolve conflict in a manner that promotes sharing of responsibility for outcomes, generates constructive relationships, enhances respect and under-standing among all involved, and fosters enduring, innovative solutions. For twenty-five years Judge Stuart has dedicated himself to serving the people of the Yukon, and Yukoners will benefit for years to come from the legacy of his work. He now moves on to a new sort of career. Judge Stuart recently married and is recovering from the birth of twins. Mostly he prefers to fish or at least work in places where the fishing is to dream about. |

Det./Cst. Raymond Payette the DISC program DETER IDENTIFY SEX-TRADE CONSUMERS OBJECTIVES The purpose of DISC is to focus police attention on the street-level sex-trade consumer. This attention is being focused on the consumer to alleviate the associated issues involving the safety of families and security of neighbourhoods jeopardized by the disruption the activity imposes upon communities. D.I.S.C. works in conjunction with on-going investigations to identify suspects involved in sexual assaults, pimp investigations, and homicides and those involved in all aspects of the sexual exploitation of children not only in Canada but world-wide. D.I.S.C. will provide: An information management system consisting of the following five categories: "sex-trade workers", "pimps", "persons of special interest to the police", "consumers" and juveniles exploited by the sex-trade through the "FACES" program, and their activities. This system can be used in major crime investigations involving the sex-trade. a.. D.I.S.C. will provide an information management system that enables the exchange of information and photos in real time to track suspects within and across borders. b.. The category "persons of special interest to the police" - categorizes any investigation involving the sexual exploitation of youth and women. Where the suspect's actions are a marked departure from the norm, i.e., Internet contact, filming children at play, etc. c.. Provide a "pro-active" approach to deter the street-level sex-trade by identifying the consumers. d.. A method that Patrol members can easily access and use to Deter and Identify Sex-trade Consumers. e.. This project works in conjunction with V.P.D.'s multi-faceted approach to dealing with the street-level sex-trade. INVESTIGATIVE GOALS Due to the transient nature of the sex-trade and its participants it is therefore necessary for police to share and distribute information regarding these participants. The D.I.S.C. network provides the vehicle for this information sharing that is essential in solving the on-going investigations that stem from the sex-trade and the sexual exploitation of youth. STATED GOAL OF D.I.S.C. The ramifications of the sex trade leave a negative impact on businesses, schools, parks, and families in the afflicted communities. D.I.S.C.'s goal is to transfer the responsibility of the issues surrounding the sex-trade onto those that consume and prey on sexually exploited youth and the victims of the sex-trade. |
