Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) The Practice of Punishment
Book SynopsisThis study focuses on the practice of punishment, as it is inflicted by the state. The author''s first-hand experience with penal reform, combined with philosophical reflection, has led him to develop a theory of punishment that identifies the principles of sentencing and corrections on which modern correctional systems should be built. This new theory of punishment is built on the view that the central function of the law is to reduce the need to use force in the resolution of disputes. Professor Cragg argues that the proper role of sentencing and sentence administration is to sustain public confidence in the capacity of the law to fulfil that function. Sentencing and corrections should therefore be guided by principles of restorative justice. He points out that, although punishment may be an inevitable concomitant of law enforcement in general and sentencing in particular, inflicting punishment is not a legitimate objective of criminal justice.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) The Case of the Speluncean Explorers Nine New
Book SynopsisThe Case of the Speluncean Explorers, written in 1949 by Lon Fuller, is the first famous fictitious legal case of all time. Describing a case of trapped travellers who are forcd to cannibalize one of their team, it is used on courses in philosophy of law and Jurisprudence to show how their trial upon rescue touches on key concepts in philosophy and legal theory such as utilitarianism and naturalism. The Case of the Speluncean Explorers: Nine New opinions includes a reprint of Fuller's classic article and a much-needed revision of and addition to the five openings originally expressed in the case by the five Supreme Court Judges. Peter Suber carefully and clearly introduces students to the main themes of Fuller's article before introducing nine new opinions. These opinions include perspectives from communitarian, feminist, multicultural, postmodern and economic theories of law, updating Fuller's original case and bringing contemporary theories of law to bear on the five original opinions.Why read this book? One reason is to get beyond sloganeering about judicial activism and activist judges. The book is an enjoyable and even-handed way to understand what the debate is about. It doesn't tell you what to think, but illustrates the contending positions and lets you think for yourself. It will show you how judges with different moral and political beliefs interpret written law, how they use precedents, how they conceive the proper role of judges, how they conceive the relationship between law and morality, and how they defend their judicial practices against criticism. It anchors all of this in a Supreme Court hearing of a gripping, concrete case on which real people disagree. (Challenge: Take any view of how judges should interpret law, especially any view that makes it sound easy, and try it out on this case. How well can it respect the facts and law? How well can it answer the objections from judges who take other views? How well does it deliver justice?) The book uses no jargon and assumes no prior knowledge of law or legal philosophy.

Taylor & Francis Fear of Crime
Book SynopsisAn attention to the 'fear of crime' has found its way into governmental interventions in crime prevention and into popular discourse with many newspapers, local government and the like conducting their own fear of crime surveys. As a concept, 'fear of crime' has also produced considerable academic debate since it entered the criminological vocabulary in the 1960s.Bringing together a collection of new and cutting edge articles from key scholars in criminology, Fear of Crime challenges many assumptions which remain submerged in attempts to measure and attribute cause to crime fear. But, in questioning the orthodoxy of 'fear of crime' models, along with inquiries that have supposed that fear is objectively quantifiable and measurable, the articles collected here also offer new paradigms and methods of inquiry for approaching 'fear of crime'.

Book SynopsisOffending Girls challenges simplistic representations of 'bad' girls in the twenty-first century and argues that the interventionist thrust which characterizes the contemporary youth justice system has had a particularly pernicious impact on girls.Trade Review‘At last an intelligent, up to date and comprehensive exposure of the myths surrounding the ‘new offending girl’ and their impact on youth justice practice.Offending Girls: Young Women and Youth Justice is essential reading for all those who are prepared to make the effort to look beyond the headlines of the ‘ladettes’ and the ‘violent girl gangs’ who are now ‘worse than the boys’, Through extensive original research with girls and practitioners, Sharpe uncovers the realities of ‘growing up good’ in the 21st century.’ – John Muncie, Professor of Criminology, The Open University'This book offers a fascinating insight into the lives of girls who have offended and provides an edgy alternative to the usual accounts of female crime that all too frequently ignore the voices of the women themselves. The reader is provided with a background to the offending behaviour of these women and the author attempts to offer some explanation for their offending rather than the relying on the usual account which explains girls’ criminal behaviour by likening them to boys. In this way, the book offers these women some agency and allows them to take responsibility for their actions instead of repeatedly classifying criminal women as victims of crime themselves or as helpless individuals that are not aware of the actions they are committing. This academic analysis of the lives of criminal young women is an important contribution to the growing body of research focused on women and their propensity to engage in offending behaviour and could help criminal justice agencies to look at the way they manage these women. Specifically it could inform their decision-making processes based on real life histories of offending women rather than relying on anecdotal and often androcentric work. The text offers useful insights into working with these girls in the 21st century to those who work or study in the criminal justice field, and indeed is relevant for anyone who is interested in the place of young women in the criminal system.'-Katy Page, University of Leicester and London Probation Trust, in Probation Journal vol 59 no 4Table of Contents1.

LUP - University of Michigan Press Capital Choices Sectoral Politics and the
Book SynopsisAnalyses the creation of different sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) from a comparative political economy perspective, arguing that different state-society structures at the sectoral level are the drivers for SWF variation.Trade Review“Many books have explored the actual and the ideal relationship between states and markets. This book asks a new question: How should the state organize itself in order to be an effective market participant, through improved management of its assets. It should be mandatory reading for all those concerned with public policy.”- Ricardo Hausmann, Harvard University“Capital Choices is an insightful and informative analysis of the origins of Sovereign Wealth Funds. Braunstein convincingly emphasizes the role of different types of policy networks on the political economy of decisions to establish funds to explain variations in their objectives and structures.”- Edwin Truman, Peterson Institute for International Economics“Sovereign wealth funds are increasingly important actors on the global investment stage. But these organizations are poorly understood, in part because their incentives and behavior—as organizations that are both return-maximizing investors and state bodies—are complex. This book, through a series of thoughtful case studies, shed fresh light on these funds and their implications.”- Josh Lerner, Harvard Business School“When the label ‘Sovereign Wealth Funds’ was applied to a set of government-owned asset funds, it fostered the impression that we were talking about a single well-defined animal. Capital Choices shows that SWFs in fact vary widely and explores the nature and origins of the differences.”- Jeffrey Frankel, Harvard University“Capital Choices breaks new ground, providing a convincing explanation for the wide variations we observe in the characteristics of sovereign wealth funds around the world. Clearly written and thoroughly researched, the book is a must read for anyone interested in the domestic politics of international finance.”- Benjamin Cohen, University of California, Santa Barbara“This is a major work not just about the increasingly important sovereign wealth funds but also about how non-Western states pursue industrial policies. It combines theory, non-Western cases and new empirical material to tell a story of why states create sovereign wealth funds and their scope for choosing distinct paths of economic development.”- Mark Thatcher, London School of Economics and Political Science“In Capital Choices, Juergen Braunstein provides an illuminating original account of the emergence and divergence of sovereign wealth funds. Explaining how different interests and coalitions shape varying SWF paths, this compelling argument finally places politics where it belongs—at the centre of analysis. A decisive intervention in the debate.”- Garry Rodan, Murdoch University“Dr. Braunstein fills an important niche in the sovereign wealth fund literature by providing a meticulously researched and skillfully executed description of the different domestic and international actors, networks, and forces at work in the development of modern SWFs. This book is an excellent example of the kind of detailed research needed to fully understand the crucial impact of these funds.”- Paul Rose, The Ohio State UniversityTable of Contents Abbreviations Acknowledgments Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Global Review Chapter 3: Bringing Domestic Politics In: A Policy Network Analysis of Sovereign Wealth Funds Chapter 4.

The University of Michigan Press Peace Preference and Property
Book SynopsisUsing case studies and first-person accounts from interviews and fieldwork in post-conflict settings, Peace, Preference, and Property suggests policies that would provide greater choice for displaced people in terms of property restitution and solutions to displacement.Trade ReviewSo far, few books have paid attention to the historical patterns of displacement, legal solutions, and IDP/refugee attitudes. Joireman successfully breaks the pattern of single-case studies in this area by providing an array of comparative empirical evidence and first-hand policy experience to demonstrate the misalignment of international law and preferences of victims of displacement. An excellent contribution to the field, re-orienting our understandings of durable solutions to displacement." —Neophytos Loizides, University of KentTable of Contents List of Illustrations Preface and acknowledgements Chapter 1: Forced Migration and its Troublesome Solutions Chapter 2: International Law on Return Chapter 3: Challenges to Return: Preferences of Displaced People Chapter 4: Children Displaced by Violence Chapter 5: Property and Return Chapter 6: Global Governance and the International Migration Regime Appendix Glossary Bibliography

University of California Press Encountering Correctional Populations A Practical Guide for Researchers
Book SynopsisWhile many researchers study offenders and offending, few actually journey into the correctional world to meet offenders face to face. This book offers researchers, practitioners, and students a step-by-step guide to effectively research correctional populations, providing field-tested advice for those studying youth and adults on probation, on parole, and in jails and prisons. The book addresses topics such as how to build rapport with offenders and those who monitor them; how to select from the many types of correctional data that can be collected; how to navigate the informed consent process and maintain research ethics; and how to manage the logistics of doing research. With personal stories, what if scenarios, case studies, and real-world tools like checklists and sample forms, the authors share methods of negotiating the complexities that researchers often face as they work with those behind bars.Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments 1.

University of California Press Evolution of a Movement
Book SynopsisDespite living and working in California, one of the county's most environmentally progressive states, environmental justice activists have spent decades fighting for clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and safe, healthy communities. Evolution of a Movement tells their storyfrom the often-raucous protests of the 1980s and 1990s to activists' growing presence inside the halls of the state capitol in the 2000s and 2010s. Tracy E. Perkins traces how shifting political contexts combined with activists' own efforts to institutionalize their work within nonprofits and state structures. By revealing these struggles and transformations, Perkins offers a new lens for understanding environmental justice activism in California. Drawing on case studies and 125 interviews with activists from Sacramento to the California-Mexico border, Perkins explores the successes and failures of the environmental justice movement in California. She shows why some activists have moved away from the disrTrade Review"Evolution of a Movement is a well-researched, well-written treatment of the arc of California environmental justice…a fresh addition to the literature." * Mobilization *Table of ContentsContents List of Illustrations Preface Acknowledgments Introduction: Environmental Justice Activism Then and Now 1.
