Taylor & Francis Ltd Youth Justice
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive, student-friendly and critical introduction to youth justice in England and Wales, offering a balanced evaluation of its development, rationale, nature and evidence base. It explores the evolution of definitions and explanations of youth offending and examines the responses to it that constitute youth justice.Bringing together theory, policy and practice, this book provides a balanced exposition of contemporary youth justice debates, including detailed discussions of governmental rationales, policy developments, practical issues and an extensive evaluation of critical academic positions. It includes a range of features designed to engage and inspire students: Stop and think': Activities challenging students to reflect on important issues. Conversations': Discussions of key themes and issues from the perspectives and experiences of relevant stakeholders, including policy makers and activists. Trade ReviewSteve Case’s "Youth Justice - A Critical Introduction" provides an essential introduction to youth justice in England and Wales, indeed I’d say is the essential introductory text, and as such fills a gap last occupied when Donald West first published his seminal ‘The Young Offender’ in 1967. Stimulating, balanced, but with a committed and challenging edge to it, no student, youth justice practitioner, or policy maker should allow themselves to be far away from a copy. Professor John Drew, Professor at University of Bedfordshire and Former Chief Executive of the Youth Justice Board for England and Wales (2009-2013).

Taylor & Francis Ltd Criminal DefenseBased Forensic Social Work
Book SynopsisThis book draws upon the Colorado Model of Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work a holistic, client-centered, collaborative approach that uses a trauma-informed care framework to outline the numerous roles and skills of a forensic social worker. The comprehensive, developmentally informed model employs a past (e.g., mitigation themes and life history compilation), present (e.g., client contact and current functioning support), and future (e.g., reentry services) framework to provide mitigation narratives for defendants and to create a comprehensive approach to service.The text starts with an overview of practice standards, ethical considerations, and legal frameworks. Next, chapters examine the unique roles that a forensic social worker must take on and the skills they need to possess. These include using clinical interventions with clients in nonclinical settings, working with clients of different identities and backgrounds, assisting with reentrTrade Review"Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work describes social workers who appreciate the needs of clients and effectively tell their stories to achieve developmentally-sound justice. Their innovative approach as part of the defense team, the diverse social work talents required, and their skillful collaboration with families and others are demonstrated through four clients woven into the book’s eight information-packed chapters. Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work is inspiring for all of us working in juvenile and criminal court!" Marty Beyer, PhD, juvenile justice and child welfare consultant"After working over 25 years in forensic practice, it is great to have a book that examines the practice of defensed-based forensic social work. The contributors have provided us with a great tool for enhancing our knowledge and teaching, while educating the criminal justice community. The book reveals the most critical aspects and duties required by social workers involved in criminal defense work." Lori James-Townes, MSW-LCSW-C, Lecturer, Department of Family Studies & Community Development, Towson University"This book provides valuable information about the variety of pertinent issues that a forensic social worker encounters. What is most helpful about the format of the book is the comprehensive yet concise manner in which a multitude of information is delivered. Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work is an important contribution to the field of forensic social work. I highly recommend this book to any new or seasoned forensic social worker!"

Taylor & Francis Ltd Doing Justice to Young People: Youth Crime and
Book SynopsisThere is an impasse in current thinking about youth crime and justice, represented by punitive and harmful practices, and liberal objections to these processes on the other, based predominantly on arguments for ‘rehabilitation’. This book aims to arrive at an alternative strategy for resolving the tensions between young people – especially those on and beyond the margins – and the social world which frames their lives.The book is split into three sections: Part 1 focuses on young people, their attitudes and behaviour; Part 2 considers the way in which their behaviour is constructed as criminal and then addressed; Part 3 considers the limitations of current practices and potential alternatives. Within this broad framework, the differentiated and contested nature of young people’s experiences and our (and their) ideas of ‘youth’ can be counterposed to prevailing one-sided and often discriminatory assumptions about them; in order then to open up questions about the nature and purposes of the youth justice system, and to introduce some possibilities for reconstructing it according to fundamental principles of rights, welfare and social justice.Doing Justice to Young People will be essential reading for anybody working in or studying youth crime and youth justice.Table of ContentsPart 1: Young People and Crime 1.

Taylor & Francis The Impact of Youth Imprisonment on the Lives of
Book SynopsisIt has long been argued that families play a crucial role in helping support prisoners during and beyond their time in prison. Through harnessing material and emotional support offered through family, prisoners can have a stronger commitment to move towards prosocial pathways via these important social ties. Yet, often overlooked are the experiences of families themselves in providing support for prisoners. This book focuses on parents whose adolescent male children are sent to prison. Charting many of the adversities which parents face â from violence, psychological stress, to stigma and shame â the book provides one of the first empirical assessments of the ways parents manage the consequences of serious crime and navigate relationships with their children in prison.As well as documenting major social hardships of imprisonment, the book will also assess the heterogeneous impacts on relationships between parents and their male children, including cases where relationships maTable of Contents1.Introduction 2.The Complexity of Youth-Parent Relationships 3.Parent-Child Lives Before Prison 4.The Challenges of Visitation 5.Adapting and Coping with Imprisonment 6.Conclusion

New York University Press Presumed Criminal
Book SynopsisA startling examination of the deliberate criminalization of black youths from the 1930s to todayA stark disparity exists between black and white youth experiences in the justice system today. Black youths are perceived to be older and less innocent than their white peers. When it comes to incarceration, race trumps class, and even as black youths articulate their own experiences with carceral authorities, many Americans remain surprised by the inequalities they continue to endure. In this revealing book, Carl Suddler brings to light a much longer history of the policies and strategies that tethered the lives of black youths to the justice system indefinitely. The criminalization of black youth is inseparable from its racialized origins. In the mid-twentieth century, the United States justice system began to focus on punishment, rather than rehabilitation. By the time the federal government began to address the issue of juvenile delinquency, the juvenile justice system shifted its prTrade Review"Suddler avoids jargon, so the narrative is accessible; the details in the book will provide starting points for many research papers. This is a book for those interested in law enforcement, New York City, African American studies, masculinity studies, late 20th-century US history, and, sadly, current events." -- Choice"A convincing, impressive book. Suddler bobs and weaves from discussing police actions to talking about the political, social, and media narratives that helped shape police logics and behavior. Along the way, he also explores how juvenile courts, jails, and other parts of the New York criminal punishment system also shaped Black kids’ experiences and constructed and 'reinforced a good kid/bad kid binary' in which race was 'the focus of youth criminality' ... The history Suddler tells here speaks some urgent truths not just about the history of racialized punishment in America but also about the treatment of Black children and young adults by law enforcement officers and other unofficial but legally sanctioned agents of violence today" * The Journal of African American History *"For anyone looking to understand the historical roots of our contemporary regime of racialized youth criminalization, Carl Suddler’s Presumed Criminal will be essential reading ... his examination casts an important lens into the construction of an enduring racist juvenile justice system which persists today." * Gotham: A Blog for New York City History *"In this powerful, timely, and deeply unsettling recovery of America’s criminal justice past, Suddler shines vital new light on the present. By brilliantly revealing the nation’s postwar effort to deal with troubled young people more humanely, this book forces us to face the extent to which the presumption of black criminality utterly undermined that effort and thereafter ensured that black boys and girls would forever be ensnared in a fundamentally unjust juvenile justice system." -- Heather Ann Thompson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Blood in the Water"The great value of this work is not only its rich historical analysis, but that this subject, this history, speaks so clearly and directly to the experiences of black youth today." -- Hasan Kwame Jeffries, author of Bloody Lowndes"A timely and critically important origins story of how black youth became over-policed and under-protected in one of the most liberal cities in America. They were victims of institutional racism and an increasingly hostile police force that refused to protect their right to protest and organize for racial justice. Young people’s bitter awakening to racial consciousness at the end of a police baton is, as Carl Suddler skillfully shows, the starting point for understanding why stop-and-frisk first made its debut in New York City over a half-century ago." -- Khalil Gibran Muhammad, author of The Condemnation of Blackness"Provides a direct historical context not only to understand mass incarceration but particularly the anti-black violence against black youth and the BlackLivesMatter movement." -- Shannon King, author of Whose Harlem Is This, Anyway?"Suddler does an excellent job of illustrating the struggles black youth faced in New York City in the early to mid-20th century. His effective way of contextualizing the atmosphere of that time gives the reader a vivid look into everyday struggles that the black community faced." * Journal of Youth and Adolescence *

New York University Press Ages of Anxiety
Book SynopsisSix compelling histories of youth crime in the twentieth century Ages of Anxiety presents six case studies of juvenile justice policy in the twentieth century from around the world, adding context to the urgent and international conversation about youth, crime, and justice. By focusing on magistrates, social workers, probation and police officers, and youth themselves, editors William S. Bush and David S. Tanenhaus highlight the role of ordinary people as meaningful and consequential historical actors. After providing an international perspective on the social history of ideas about how children are different from adults, the contributors explain why those differences should matter for the administration of justice. They examine how reformers used the idea of modernization to build and legitimize juvenile justice systems in Europe and Mexico, and present histories of policing and punishing youth crime. Ages of Anxiety introduces a new theoretical model for interpreting historical reseaTrade ReviewThis well-integrated book of readings focuses on the development of juvenile justice policy from an international social history perspective … The writing style for most of the chapters is complex but within the grasp of undergraduate students at most universities. The book is well referenced and adequately indexed. Most of the contributors are recognized as well qualified to speak on the material that they present. This book is recommended for libraries serving departments of history, criminology, criminal justice, psychology, social work, or sociology that seek to offer expanded holdings. -- CHOICEFocusing on magistrates, social workers, probation and police officers, and youth themselves, contributors to Bush and Tanenhaus’s volume highlight the role of ordinary people as meaningful and consequential historical actors through a presentation of six case studies of juvenile justice policy in the twentieth century from around the world. -- Law & Social InquiryAges of Anxiety continues the opening of a field that has woefully neglected comparative questions, both within countries including the United States, and especially worldwide. Moving beyond the U.S. case gives a breath of fresh air to research, teaching, public policy and social practice, and will be vital to addressing the actual and interconnected global crises of juvenile injustice. -- Geoff Ward,Author of The Black Child-Savers: Racial Democracy and Juvenile Justice

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Good Practice in Safeguarding Adults: Working
Book SynopsisGood Practice in Safeguarding Adults provides an up to date and topical overview of developments in policy, guidance, legislation and practice in the area of adult protection.The book aims to broaden thinking about adult abuse, assesses alternative models of practice such as criminal justice and welfare, and covers groups who may be overlooked, such as people with brain injuries, older prisoners and adults within the black and minority ethnic communities. Issues covered include domestic violence and honour-based crime, abuse in institutions, financial abuse, and risk assessment in adult protection. The book is illustrated throughout with case studies, and also gives a voice to the victims of adult abuse who can be forgotten in a working environment that emphasises target performance, indicators, standards, star ratings, paperwork and correct use of terminology.This book will be essential reading for anyone working with vulnerable adults, including social workers, care managers, care workers, health care staff, police, probation officers, staff within the prison system, advocates, volunteers, training officers and students.Trade ReviewJacki Pritchard, a stalwart in the adult protection field in England, has edited these books to cover a variety of different aspects of good practice. The fact that she has harnessed such an impressive set of authors (27) from a range of academic backgrounds speaks for itself. This immediately tells me both books (Good Practive in Safeguarding Adults and Good Practice in the Law and Safeguarding Adults) will have lots of reference information and are likely to have set presentations which are easier on the brain. -- RostrumIt is touching to be made aware that prisoners' need for protection measure are just as vital as those who have their freedom...Pritchard has a deliberate strand threaded though each book:* Effective practice must start with removing familiar and unfamiliar labels for groups and applying the same compassionate approach to all due to their shared vulnerability* Each professional must have at their disposal accurate legal knowledge of all the coutries in Britain to implement change. In other words, the practitioner in adult protection in the present century is almost reinvented as a specialist in generic knowledge. Pritchard's books help encourage the spread of such ideas. -- Bert Calder, Mental Health Officer, Falkirk CouncilThis readable, clear and comprehensive guide to working in adult protection is aimed at a wide range of practitioners who work with vulnerable adults, from students to specialist staff. It is edited by Jackie Pritchard, and independent social worker, trainer,consultant,researcher and author, who has a good track record of usable and helpful texts in this field. -- Nursing StandardTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge Handbook on Native American Justice
Book SynopsisNative Americans are disproportionately represented as offenders in the U.S. criminal justice system. Routledge Handbook on Native American Justice Issues is an authoritative volume that provides an overview of the state of American Indigenous populations and their contact with justice concerns and the criminal justice system. The volume covers the history and origins of Indian Country in America; continuing controversies regarding treaties; unique issues surrounding tribal law enforcement; the operation of tribal courts and corrections, including the influence of Indigenous restorative justice practices; the impact of native religions and customs; youth justice issues, including educational practices and gaps; women's justice issues; and special circumstances surrounding healthcare for Indians, including the role substance abuse plays in contributing to criminal justice problems.Bringing together contributions from leading scholars many of them Native Americans thatTrade ReviewThe Handbook on Native American Justice Issues provides a much needed contribution to the state of Native Americans when it comes to justice and injustice in our culture. Professor French has demonstrated a long-term and productive commitment to both the history and social/judicial context of indigenous populations. He has put together a noteworthy collection of essays from contributors including Native American scholars, a collection that not only examines the impact of our justice system on Native American communities and how their "trail of tears" has continued, but also explores the nature of their potential contributions to our justice process in general including restorative justice, youth interventions and religious practices. Professor French and the scholars whose work comprise this excellent volume help us to better understand the history, current state and the opportunities for positive change in the lives of Native Americans who are an indispensable part of the American fabric.Michael BraswellProfessor EmeritusEast Tennessee State University"In the midst of contemporary political crosswinds facing the North American region, this masterfully written book is a breath of fresh air. It examines indigenous experiences from U.S., Canadian, and Mexican perspectives. The handbook covers themes integrating common challenges faced by the original inhabitants of these lands."Magdaleno Manzanárez, Ph.D.Vice President, Division of External AffairsWestern New Mexico UniversityTable of ContentsTable of ContentsPART I: HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS: A DISMAL PASTIntroduction Chapter 1.
