SUMMARY:Sentencing drug addiction. A comparative approach in Common and Con
 tinental legal systems
DESCRIPTION:Guest speaker: Demetra Sorvatzioti
\nDemetra Fr. Sorvatzioti\, 
 Associate Professor\, Law School\, University of Nicosia\, holds a Ph.D. i
 n Criminology and a law degree. She is a member of the advisory board of F
 air Trials International\, and a member of the Crime Policy Board of the M
 inistry of Justice in Cyprus. Her primary research areas are comparative l
 aw\; sentencing\, evidence\; sexual offenders\; social exclusion & crimina
 l justice.
\nSummary
\nIn many cases\, when a drug addict is charged with 
 a criminal offence\, the criminality is a function\, directly or indirectl
 y\, of the addiction. Yet\, traditional sentencing in both common law and 
 continental jurisdictions focuses on the criminality\, even if the addicti
 on is given some mitigating role. More recently\, we have seen in many com
 mon law systems the development of Drug Treatment Courts which take a ther
 apeutic approach that focuses on the addictions and its treatment. In cont
 inental systems\, the trial judge plays a dominant role that includes both
  the duty to investigate and to find the substantial truth of the offence.
  In this paper\, I consider whether the role of the continental judge can 
 be modified into a 'therapeutic' judge in a Drug Treatment Court.
