Developing the Use of Technical Tools in Cross-Border Resettlement (DUTT)
This project seeks to study the potential usage of specific technical tools, as a means to assist with transnational transfers of offenders. Specifically, it will look at: Video-conference technology (VCT) & Multi-lingual Touch Screen Facilities (TSF).
The project aims to research the two above areas, in relation to the transfer of offenders across EU member states. It will model processes and techniques used between the partner countries to identify potential issues and difficulties. Both technical issues and practice-based issues will be explored. Recommendations for future usage will then be made. Project learning will be disseminated more widely than the project partners, in order to be of use to other states.
Aim of the DUTT project: in preparation for the Framework Decisions 2008/947 & 2008/909 to trial and study the effectiveness of two specific technical tools: video-conference technology (VCT) and touch screen facility (TSF) to improve access to resettlement information for offenders.
Countries involved: UK, Latvia, the Netherlands
EU funding programme: criminal justice funding programme (JPEN)
