  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Contesting Femicide

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisFocusing on femicide, this book provides a contemporary re-evaluation of Carol Smart's innovative approach to the law question as first outlined in her ground-breaking book, Feminism and the Power of Law (Routledge 1989). Smart advocated turning to the legal domain not so much for demanding law reforms as construing it as a site on which to contest gender and more particularly, gendered constructions of women's experiences. Over the last 30 to 40 years, feminist law scholars and activists have launched scathing trans-jurisdictional critiques of the operation of provocation defences in hundreds of femicide cases. The evidence unearthed by feminist scholars that these defences operate in profoundly sexed ways is unequivocal. Accordingly, femicide cases have become critically important sites for feminist engagement and intervention across numerous jurisdictions. Exploring an area of criminal law that was not one of Smart's own focal concerns, this book both honours and extends STrade Review"Thanks to its ability to account for the complexities of the current femicidal context of the globe, this collection of essays is a timely contribution to the literature on femicide as well as feminist legal scholarship."--Sumru Atuk, Canadian Journal of Women & the LawTable of ContentsContentsAcknowledgementsPreface Carol SmartNotes on contributorsIntroduction Part 1 Criminal Law Reform Case Studies1 Provocation by ‘Sexual Infidelity’─ Diminishing Returns? — Adrian Howe2 Feminist Dilemmas with Law Reform ─ Victoria, Australia — Danielle Tyson and Bronwyn Naylor 3 Criminalising Femicide in Latin American Countries: Legal Power Working For Women? — Patsili ToledoPart 2 Proliferating Sites of Feminist Legal Intervention4 ‘Being Wrought, Perplexed in the Extreme’ ─ Othello and his Syndrome— Adrian Howe5 Fighting Femicide in Turkey ─ Feminist Legal Challenges ─ Daniela Alaattinoğlu and Cemre Baytok 6 The Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability ─ Myrna Dawson7 Judicial Discourse versus Domestic Violence Death Review: An Australian Case Study — Anna Butler and Emma Buxton-Namisnyk 8 Italian Legal Feminism ─ Engaging with the Power of Law — Ilaria Boiano 9 Legal Education ─ Challenging the Finnish Criminal Law Syllabus — Daniela Alaattinoğlu and Johanna Niemi 10 Finland on Trial ─ Marjo RantalaEpilogueIndex

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Contemporary Social Problems in the UK

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisSocial problems are endemic to all societies. The UK is no exception and is grappling with a plethora of issues including poverty, family breakdown, domestic violence, teenage pregnancy, child abuse and neglect, youth offending, alcohol and drug misuse, mental health issues, homelessness, and ethnic and religious discrimination. These problems have huge implications for the individual, the family unit and society at large and take their toll on health, wellbeing, and community resources. They place an enormous amount of strain on government finances and the welfare state, and add to the burden on social institutions, such as the National Health Service and the social work and criminal justice systems. Contemporary Social Problems in the UK explores a wide range of social problems in the UK. Each social problem has been explored using a range of psychosocial theories to generate an understanding of various causal factors and to examine the linkages between differTrade Review"It is essential that as the World moves through the various phases of the COVID-19 pandemic that we do not lose sight of the intransigent problems that plague modern society. Contemporary Social Problems in the UK returns our attention to many of the issues that intersect communities with traumatic consequences. In this exciting new book, Dr Stanley has brought together several respected academics and practitioners who draw our attention to the theories, models and research that underpin debates concerning social problems. It also highlights the way these issues transcend political and administrative boundaries across health, social care, social security, housing, employment, and criminal justice. Contemporary Social Problems in the UK provides essential reading for students and practitioners involved in social care, health, and criminal justice. As well as providing examples of ‘real world’ applications for students of Sociology, Psychology, and behavioural sciences." Tony Gilbert, Associate Professor in the School of Health Professions, University of Plymouth, UK"This text approaches a range of contemporary social issues and considers these within a number of frameworks where their differing manifestations are articulated, debated and contextualised against the backdrop of extant theoretical approaches and practice-based interventions. The text will be of value to both students and professionals across a range of disciplines." Steve J. Hothersall, Head of Social Work, Mental Health and Learning Disability Education and Practice, Edge Hill University, UK"Social Problems in the UK are of growing concern not only for academics, policy makers and social practitioners but also the general population. This new edited book from Selwyn Stanley takes the reader through contemporary social issues and illustrates a range of debates and theoretical concepts. For the social sciences this is a must read for students of all levels, academics, and researchers."Martin Partridge, Senior Lecturer and Programme Lead for BA Social Care and Health, University of Wolverhampton, UK"This book provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary social problems in areas that can often be overlooked in compact curricula, for example, substance misuse and homelessness. As such, this book is useful for modules in undergraduate and post graduate studies that explore sociology, criminology, applied social work practice and contemporary society. A useful text for the student on a range of important topics." Karen D. Roscoe, Assistant Professor in Social Work, Coventry University, UK"A vital new text outlining a broad range of overlapping social problems in contemporary UK society. This will be an incredibly useful text across the wide range of social policy professions, in education, health, social work and youth work; for social science students, as well as the general reader"Richard Twine, Senior Lecturer in Social Sciences, Edge Hill University, UKTable of Contents1.

  • Taylor & Francis Female Offenders and Reentry

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisOften, research concerning the female offender is scarce. This book adds to the criminological literature on the topic of reentry for women, focusing on the barriers women face as they return to society and adjust to life after incarceration. Each chapter addresses specific issues, challenges, and obstacles affiliated with the hindrance of successful reentry processes associated with female offenders, as well as data-driven empirical studies.While corrections has often misunderstood or overlooked the needs of returning offenders, the shortcomings of the institutions have a greater impact on women than on their male counterparts, particularly regarding the occurrence of social and medical problems, especially those related to mental health and substance abuse. Female Offenders and Reentry helps criminal justice students and practitioners see the full picture when considering the challenges faced by female offenders reintegrating into society. Trade ReviewFinally—a comprehensive text that covers all aspects of the challenges faced by female offenders in their reentry journeys. Featuring evidence-based research, current demographic and trend data, policy and best practices analyses, and in-depth case studies, this monograph provides insightful examinations of critical gender barriers to societal reintegration—transportation, housing, employment, issues of chronic illness and reproductive health, mental health and substance abuse disorders, and child reunification. —Rosemary Gido, Indiana University of PennsylvaniaThe editors have put together a well-balanced collection of chapters that discuss in depth the multiple problems female ex-offenders face when returning to their communities. This text provides an excellent forum for discussion on the topic of female offenders and reentry that will leave students as well as policy makers and educators thinking about how they can effect change. —Danielle McDonald, Northern Kentucky UniversityIn Female Offenders and Reentry, Carter and Marcum have expertly conveyed the challenges facing women as they work towards reestablishing a life outside of prison. This compelling and comprehensive text is essential to understanding the contemporary female reentry experience. —Ashley G.
