Considering the role of the victim throughout the criminal justice system, as well as public knowledge and attitudes towards criminal justice, Roberts critically assesses the way in which the system functions and its importance around the world.

In the first study of its kind, sociologist Lynne Haney travels into state institutions across the country to document the experiences of the millions of fathers cycling through the criminal justice and child support systems. Prisons of Debt shows how these systems work together to create complex entanglementsrather than piling up in men's lives, these entanglements form feedback loops of disadvantage. The prisonchild support pipeline flows in both directions, deepening parents' debt and criminal justice involvement.    Through moving accounts of men struggling to be fathers from behind prison walls and under the weight of support debt, Prisons of Debt exposes how the criminalization of child support undermines the most essential of familial relationships. Haney argues that these state systems can end up producing exactly the kind of parent they fear and loathe: bitter, unreliable, and cyclical fathers. Based on observations of 1,200 child support cases and interviews with 145 indebted fathers in New York, California, and Florida, Prisons of Debt reveals the actual practices of child support adjudication and enforcement alongside the lived realities of fathers trapped in those systems. The result is a rigorously documented analysis of how poor men are too often denied their rights of citizenship and of fatherhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Haney shows how state bureaucracies seem to conspire against historically marginalized individuals, leaving indebted fathers beholden to the state and distanced from their children.

A mistake in a system that otherwise functions in a perfectly satisfactory fashion. This important book shows how the lack of an effective watchdog, failures in policing, poor legal defence in the wake of the legal aid pay freeze, an over-reliance on expert evidence and reluctance in the media to cover miscarriage cases has led to a growing crisis in the criminal justice system. If you think there's a safety net, think again. In 2017, the Criminal Cases Review Commission, the watchdog established to oversee and prevent miscarriages of justice, celebrated its twentieth anniversary. The release of the Birmingham Six in 1991 set in train a series of events: a Royal Commission was launched which ultimately led to major structural reform of the justice system and the creation of an independent body to investigate alleged miscarriages of justice. It didn't fix the problem. Journalist and campaigner Jon Robins explodes the complacency that exists around our criminal justice system by examining a series of shocking cases where there are serious concerns about the safety of each conviction.","brand":"Biteback Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741390385495,"sku":"9781785903694","price":12.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781785903694.jpg?v=1720057433"},{"product_id":"violent-extremism-a-handbook-of-risk-assessment-and-management-9781800081994","title":"Violent Extremism: A Handbook of Risk Assessment","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"UCL Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741695455575,"sku":"9781800081994","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"rough-sex-and-the-criminal-law-global-perspectives-9781801179294","title":"'Rough Sex' and the Criminal Law: Global","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Rough sex’ has been at the forefront of criminal law in recent years following several high-profile murders of women killed during alleged consensual sex ‘gone wrong’, leading to widespread calls for reform to prevent the use of what has been termed the ‘rough sex defence.’ Situated in a global context in which violence against women is one of the leading preventable contributors to death and illness for women aged 18–44 worldwide, this timely collection examines the rough sex defence and responds to some of the wider debates around sex and the law.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on a range of empirical and theoretical standpoints, chapters delve into a range of topics including the female experience of ‘unwanted’ slapping, choking and spitting during sex, the BDSM community, the impacts of pornography, the normalization and sexualization of violence against women, early depictions of BDSM involving the eroticization of non-consensual relations, problematic perceptions of BDSM as inherently violent, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBows and Herring expertly collate a wide-reaching mix of perspectives to contribute to a powerful feminist investigation of this critical issue.

It is among the first books in the field to focus entirely on clinical psychological science applied to the understanding and treatment of offending. Part I addresses the main theoretical and clinical models used to explain and predict antisocial behavior, spanning biological, cognitive, experimental, individual differences, and interpersonal perspectives. Part II focuses on forms of psychopathology associated with an increased tendency to offend, with the emphasis on describing the clinical constructs most relevant for forensic psychology. Each chapter describes the clinical characteristics of one form of psychopathology, their assessment, their links with antisocial behavior, and treatment considerations. \u003cbr\u003ePart III focuses on different types of offense or offender groups as starting points. This perspective has relevance since many criminal justice and forensic mental health systems allocate offenders to interventions based on their index offense (or history of offenses). Finally, Part IV addresses the application of clinical psychology in the service of assessment and treatment in forensic settings. It includes the state of the art on diagnostic and risk assessment, as well as both widely used and recently developed interventions.

Should we so readily adopt powerful new technologies like facial recognition software and rapid DNA machines?

How the Police Generate False Confessions takes you inside the interrogation room, exposing the tactics that law enforcement uses to make confessions happen. James L. Trainum reveals how innocent people can become suspects and then confessed criminals even when they have not committed a crime. Using real stories, he looks at the inherent coerciveness of the interrogation process and why so many false confessions contain so many of the details that only the true perpetrator would know. More disturbingly, the book examines how these same processes corrupt witness and victim statements, create lying informants and cooperators, and induce innocent people to plead guilty. Trainum also offers recommendations for change in the U.S. by looking at h\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this groundbreaking book on the U.S. criminal justice system, Trainum, a former Washington, D.C. police detective, argues for reform of police interviewing and interrogation practices. The confession is considered the gold standard for law enforcement, because 'most people believe that they would never confess to a crime they did not do.' Yet suspects, witnesses, and informants often feel that they have no other option. Trainum carefully demonstrates why in an era of minimum sentences, where the worst-case scenario can be significant jail time, registration as a sex offender, or even the death penalty, prosecutors have breathtaking power to hold a person's life in the balance. The best option for a suspect or witness may be a false confession, informing, or a plea bargain, especially when a long legal fight may drain a family bank account, or when a prosecutor offers a reduced sentence or jailhouse privileges as reward. Without reform, prosecutors, police, and investigators may soon discover that 'harsh and verbally abusive interrogation tactics that focused solely on obtaining confessions... not only [contribute] to false confessions but also to the negative perception of law enforcement by the public.' Using numerous examples and backed by persuasive academic research, Trainum proposes a better way that is already at work in countries with similar criminal justice systems. His book will hit a nerve with a public newly concerned with abuses of police power, and hopefully will influence those tasked with law enforcement and public policy as well. * Publishers Weekly, Starred Review *\u003cbr\u003eThe first step to solving any problem is realizing that it exists. This enlightening work by retired Washington, DC, police detective Trainum leaves no doubt that there are complications with false confessions and police interrogation techniques. Trainum walks readers through the steps police are taught to use in the interrogation room and the coercive methods that can lead to contamination of the interview and false confession. His explanations are well supported with relevant and interesting case studies and previous research. He includes information on problems with statements from witnesses and informants and the role played by plea bargains and mandatory sentences. After presenting a thoroughly convincing portrait of the issue, Trainum provides 'a better way' forward, outlining the PEACE method of interrogation and reviewing other safeguards, including videotaping of interviews. His 27 years of experience provide an insider's realistic, practical view, making this an especially important addition on the topic. VERDICT Essential for those working in the criminal justice system. It will also be of interest to the general public concerned with criminal justice issues and reform, as well as fans of police procedurals and true crime. * Library Journal, Starred Review *\u003cbr\u003e[I]f you have an interest in fairness, justice and preventing wrongful convictions, then the new book How the Police Generate False Confessions by former Washington, D.C., homicide detective James Trainum is an important read. It takes you inside the interrogation room to see how investigators extract admissions from innocent people, and how the justice system can fix this persistent problem, seen in high profile cases such as the Central Park Five, the Norfolk Four and the teenaged suspect from Wisconsin in the Netflix series ‘Making a Murderer.’... I [Washington Post reporter Tom Jackman] asked Brandon Garrett, a University of Virginia law professor who has focused on wrongful convictions, about Trainum’s book. ‘It is such an important new book,’ Garrett said. ‘For decades, we have seen false confession after false confession lead to tragic wrongful convictions of the innocent while serious criminals go undetected. The courts have done little to respond to abuses in the interrogation room; if anything they have eroded constitutional protections, such as the right to remain silent. Trainum explains that for police, there is another way. Overly coercive interrogation techniques not only produce false confessions but they are not good at uncovering good information. In the U.K. and in more agencies in the U.S., police have changed gears, turning from psychologically coercive techniques to information gathering techniques. Trainum and his book are at the forefront of a revolution in police interrogations.’ Now that’s a lot better book review quote than mine. * The Washington Post *\u003cbr\u003eWho could falsely confess to a crime they didn’t do?  In this must read book, Trainum gives us the inside story. He shows how shockingly easy it is for police to secure a false confession, even without intending to do so. That confession, though false, may appear to be highly accurate.  Trainum concludes by pointing the way towards less coercive interrogation methods.  The result will be a revolution in police questioning. -- Brandon L. Garrett, Justice Thurgood Marshall Distinguished Professor of Law, University of Virginia School of Law\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a book about bad cops; it is a book about a very good cop discovering a process for making himself a great cop:  beginning by calmly confronting his own mistakes, using research to understand their lessons, and then sharing those lessons with the justice professions.  A tremendous contribution. -- James Doyle, Attorney, Boston, MA; author of True Witness: Cops, Courts, Science and the Battle Against Misidentification\u003cbr\u003eFalse confessions are a leading cause of wrongful convictions.  Jim Trainum, a retired Washington, DC, homicide detective, explores the nature of this problem in his book, How the Police Generate False Confessions, and discusses how the interview process can be improved and reformed.  Investigators, prosecutors, and defense attorneys will all benefit from his experience and insights. -- D. Kim Rossmo, Professor, School of Criminal Justice at Texas State University\u003cbr\u003eThe curtain is being drawn back on the interrogation room, and America doesn’t necessarily like what it sees. This is being led by those who are willing to discuss what they know about interrogation practices and the unjust outcomes that happen as a result. Jim Trainum is one of those voices, detailing not only issues related to interrogations and false confessions, but the larger investigative culture that can make changing this situation very difficult. The first step to change is admitting you have a problem. Law enforcement has not come around to this realization. In this book, however, the problem becomes clear. Through historical examples and personal experience as a Detective, Jim takes the reader on a journey through the various ways in which a false confession can happen, and does happen. In the end, the reader is left with the realization that what happens in the interrogation room is in large part a reflection of our criminal justice system itself. As a result of this knowledge, we are faced with the choice about whether we want the system to change, or to remain as it is. In making this decision, the reader comes to realize that the next false confession that is given might very well be your own, and that no one is necessarily immune from the forces of persuasion and coercion that exist in the interrogation. -- Gary C. David, PhD, Associate Professor of Sociology, Department Chair; Associate Professor of Information Design and Corporate Communication, Bentley University\u003cbr\u003eBlending his career as a decorated homicide detective with his uncanny academic insights and understanding Jim has given us a book that addresses the complicated issues inherent in police interview and interrogations with piercing precision and unique insights.  This is a must-read for practitioners, academicians and anyone interested in what really happens when cops, suspects, policies and the law converge in a pressure-filled interview room.  Not to be missed. -- Gregg O. McCrary, FBI, retired\u003cbr\u003eOthers have written books about how police generate false confessions. Richard Ofshe, Saul Kassin, Richard Leo (Laura Nirider and I) and many others frequently lecture about the causes and consequences of false confessions. But it is one thing for social scientists, academics, and defense attorneys to write and talk about these things, it is another for a homicide detective to do so. Jim Trainum's book, How the Police Generate False Confessions: An Inside Look at the Interrogation Room, may just turn out to be the most important book on the subject ever written. I learned more about the way police officers investigate homicides and the way tunnel vision and confirmation bias leads to investigative failure from this book than from any other book I have read. The book puts a lie to so many myths about police interrogations that I lost count of them all. But it does so much more. Det. Trainum is not just a critic; he is a reformer, charting a course for the proper way for police officers to investigate cases, interview suspects, witnesses and informants and to obtain reliable information from them. If you buy one book this year in the area of wrongful convictions, this is the book you should buy. -- Steven Drizin, Clinical Professor of Law, Northwestern University School of Law; attorney for Brendan Dassey of Making a Murderer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   1:\tHistory\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  2: \tDo We Even Have a Problem?\t\t\t\t  3:\tTypes of Confessions and Statements\t\t\t  4:\tTaking the First Steps\t\t\t\t\t 5:\tGood Police Work or Coercion?\t\t\t\t 6:\tContamination \t\t\t\t\t\t 7:\tStatement Evaluation\t\t\t\t\t 8:\tWitnesses\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 9:\tCooperators and Informants\t\t\t\t 10:\tPlea Bargaining \t\t\t\t\t\t 11:\tIs There a Better Way?\t\t\t\t\t 12:\tReform\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 13:\tWhat Lays in Store for the Future","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48885639217495,"sku":"9781442244641","price":29.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781442244641.jpg?v=1722537184"},{"product_id":"use-of-restrictive-housing-in-the-prison-system-overview-concerns-recommendations-9781536100389","title":"Use of Restrictive Housing in the Prison System:","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886044852567,"sku":"9781536100389","price":138.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781536100389.jpg?v=1722538619"},{"product_id":"a-closer-look-at-criminal-justice-9781536157826","title":"A Closer Look at Criminal Justice","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886132900183,"sku":"9781536157826","price":163.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781536157826.jpg?v=1722538934"},{"product_id":"paralysing-international-criminal-justice-9781536187427","title":"Paralysing International Criminal Justice","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886187721047,"sku":"9781536187427","price":163.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781536187427.jpg?v=1722539135"},{"product_id":"conviction-machine-standing-up-to-federal-prosecutorial-abuse-9781594038037","title":"Conviction Machine: Standing Up to Federal","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eProsecutors can indict a ham sandwich, we hear, and laugh at the absurdity.

In so doing, Congress sought to strike a delicate balance between national security interests and personal privacy rights. Subsequent legislation expanded federal laws dealing with foreign intelligence gathering to address physical searches, pen registers and trap and trace devices, and access to certain business records. The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, P.L. 107-56, made significant changes to some of these provisions. Further amendments were included in the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002, P.L. 107-108, and the Homeland Security Act of 2002, P.L. 107-296, the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, P.L. 108-458, the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005, P.L. 109-177, and the USA PATRIOT Act Additional Reauthorizing Amendments Act of 2006, P.L. 109- 178. In addressing international terrorism or espionage, the same factual situation may be the focus of both criminal investigations and foreign intelligence collection efforts. Some of the changes in FISA under these public laws are intended, in part, to facilitate information sharing between law enforcement and intelligence elements. In its Final Report, the 9\/11 Commission noted that the removal of the pre-9\/11 \"wall\" between intelligence and law enforcement \"has opened up new opportunities for co-operative action within the FBI.\" P.L. 110-55 limits the construction of the term \"electronic surveillance\" so that it does not cover surveillance directed at a person reasonably believed to be located outside the United States. It also creates a mechanism for acquisition, without a court order under a certification by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the Attorney General, of foreign intelligence information concerning a person reasonably believed to be outside the United States. The Protect America Act provides for review by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) of the procedures by which the DNI and the Attorney General determine that such acquisitions do not constitute electronic surveillance. In addition, P.L. 110-55 authorises the Attorney General and the DNI to direct a person with access to the communications involved to furnish aid to the government to facilitate such acquisitions, and provides a means by which the legality of such a directive may be reviewed by the FISC petition review pool. A decision by a judge of the FISC petition review pool may be appealed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, and review by the U.S. Supreme Court may be sought by petition for writ of certiorari.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886629237079,"sku":"9781604561517","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"hate-crimes-legal-issues-legislation-9781604565904","title":"Hate Crimes: Legal Issues \u0026 Legislation","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886643163479,"sku":"9781604565904","price":40.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781604565904.jpg?v=1722541012"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/criminal-law-procedure-and-offences.oembed?page=29","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
