Before It Was ‘New’: A Neglected History of Lived Experience–Led Criminal Justice

open access: yesThe Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing range of criminal justice initiatives are being shaped and delivered by people with lived experience, including peer mentoring, prisoner councils and policy advocacy roles. While often seen as recent innovations, we reveal a deeper, largely unacknowledged history dating back to at least the 19th century.

Waking a Dormant Legal Resource: Institutional Activation and the Origins of Important Projects of Common European Interest

open access: yesJCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEIs) have become a central tool of the European Union's (EU) new industrial policy. IPCEIs derive their peculiar name from an exemption to the general prohibition on state aid that has existed since the Treaty of Rome but has only led to the creation of a stand‐alone policy instrument in 2014.
