Paul Rock is currently conducting an ethnographic strand of a team-based evaluation of the experimental introduction of family (victim) impact statements, victim advocates and legal advice to victims in homicide cases in five pilot court sites in England and Wales. Prior to his coming to Penn, he spoke with representatives of some of the principal organisations involved in the initiative. On his return, he will follow the impact of the initiative on the progress of four or five murder trials committed to the Central Criminal Court at the Old Bailey in London.
