Emerald Publishing Limited Unsettling Colonial Automobilities:
Book SynopsisUnsettling Colonial Automobilities explores the vehicle's role in imposing colonialism on Indigenous people and proposes an Indigenous automobility that reclaims sovereignty over place and centricity. Based on extensive fieldwork within First Nations communities, accounts from Indigenous scholars and activists in Australia, New Zealand/Aotearoa, Canada and the United States, and cinematic/literary representations, this contribution challenges unrestricted mobility in modernity and highlights the vehicle's impact on Indigenous communities. Chapters examine how Indigenous people are criminalized for non-compliance with vehicle regulations, explores the vehicle as a tool of racial violence, and discusses how Indigenous communities utilize vehicles for protection, cultural expression, and reconnection with their land. By demonstrating the vehicle's involvement in colonial violence and its potential for empowering Indigenous cultures, Unsettling Colonial Automobilities acknowledges the significance of human movement, migration, and boundary-transcendence in modern life while acknowledging the dark history associated with these phenomena.Trade ReviewWith the turn of every page, you will be intrigued, because who would have ever thought that a motor vehicle and its relationship with First Nations Australians would be so intense and ever so present in our criminalization since colonization that it continues even today. -- Leanne Liddle, Arrernte Woman, Northern Territory Australian of the Year 2022 and Director of the Northern Territory Aboriginal Justice UnitTable of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

Rutgers University Press Way Down in the Hole: Race, Intimacy, and the
Book SynopsisBased on ethnographic observations and interviews with prisoners, correctional officers, and civilian staff conducted in solitary confinement units, Way Down in the Hole explores the myriad ways in which daily, intimate interactions between those locked up twenty-four hours a day and the correctional officers charged with their care, custody, and control produce and reproduce hegemonic racial ideologies. Smith and Hattery explore the outcome of building prisons in rural, economically depressed communities, staffing them with white people who live in and around these communities, filling them with Black and brown bodies from urban areas and then designing the structure of solitary confinement units such that the most private, intimate daily bodily functions take place in very public ways. Under these conditions, it shouldn’t be surprising, but is rarely considered, that such daily interactions produce and reproduce white racial resentment among many correctional officers and fuel the racialized tensions that prisoners often describe as the worst forms of dehumanization. Way Down in the Hole concludes with recommendations for reducing the use of solitary confinement, reforming its use in a limited context, and most importantly, creating an environment in which prisoners and staff co-exist in ways that recognize their individual humanity and reduce rather than reproduce racial antagonisms and racial resentment.Way Down the Hole Video 1 (https://youtu.be/UuAB63fhge0)Way Down the Hole Video 2 (https://youtu.be/TwEuw1cTrcQ)Way Down the Hole Video 3 (https://youtu.be/bOcBv_UnHIs)Way Down the Hole Video 4 (https://youtu.be/cx_l1S8D77c)Trade Review“A stunning exposé and call to change, Way Down in the Hole lays bare the racism of our criminal justice system as it extends into the horror of solitary confinement.

Les Presses de l'Universite Laval Too Few to Matter: Institutional Inertia in the
Book SynopsisIn 2010, Correctional Service Canada closed two decrepit prisons designated for men. Hoping to reduce prison overcrowding, the Québec government rented one of them—the Leclerc prison—and transferred approximately 250 male prisoners serving a provincial sentence. One year later, Québec closed its main provincial prison designated for women, and swiftly transferred the women to the Leclerc prison where men were housed. At Leclerc, women endured dehumanizing conditions condemned by scholars, advocacy groups, and the media as violations of basic human rights. Challenging living conditions enduring at the Leclerc prison suggest that women’s imprisonment is resisting significant change despite studies and governmental inquiries since the middle of the 19th century having documented the dire situation, and the specific needs of imprisoned women in Canada. This book proposes a critical rereading of women’s penal history in Canada and argues that policies and practices regarding women’s prisoning are path dependent and tend to follow a locked-in trajectory.

Springer International Publishing AG Prisons and Imprisonment: An Introduction
Book SynopsisThis textbook examines prisons and imprisonment. Historically, prisons and prisoners have been a source of interest to the general public. However, despite near universal acceptance of imprisonment as a feature of society, we know relatively little about the reality of prison life, or the effects it has on individuals and communities. Using academic scholarship, empirical research, government papers, policy reports, and accounts from lived experiences of the institution, this book analyses the complexities and contradictions of prison life, the place of the prison in twenty-first century society, and its prospects for the future. This book will introduce readers to key debates surrounding the use of imprisonment, and challenge readers to interrogate conventional perspectives on an institution that reflects the society in which it is situated.Table of Contents

Springer International Publishing AG Human Rights Behind Bars: Tracing Vulnerability
Book SynopsisThis book brings together leading authorities from the fields of international human rights law, criminology, legal medicine, and political science with international human rights judges and UN experts to analyze the current situation of detainees in Europe, the Americas and Africa.This comprehensive volume offers a platform for reflecting on the complexity of the prison problem from a multidisciplinary perspective. The authors address detention-related issues with the aim of generating new ideas that contribute to both academic discussion and critical analysis. Academic dialogue across the globe provides insights into various national and international carceral systems and how they deal with human rights behind bars. At the same time, the critical comparison helps to identify basic needs and practices that can work in multiple settings. The contributors are respected experts and leading scholars in their fields, and each has pursued prison and human rights research over the last decades. However, this is the first time that they have come together in a multidisciplinary academic project. This book aims to stimulate diverse actors to imagine alternative ways of engaging with persons deprived of their liberty, in academia and in practice.

Springer International Publishing AG Doing Indefinite Time: An Ethnography of
Book SynopsisThis open access book provides insights into the everyday lives of long-term prisoners in Switzerland who are labelled as ‘dangerous’ and are preventatively held in indefinite, probably lifelong, incarceration. It explores prisoners’ manifold ways of inhabiting the prison which can be used to challenge well established notions about the experience of imprisonment, such as ‘adaptation’, ‘coping’, and ‘resistance’. Drawing on ethnographic data generated in two high-security prisons housing male offenders, this book explores how the various spaces of the prison affect prisoners’ sense of self and experience of time, and how, in particular, the indeterminate nature of their imprisonment affects their perceptions of place and space.It sheds light on prisoners’ subjective, emplaced and embodied perceptions of the prisons' various everyday time-spaces in the cell, at work, and during leisure time, and the forms of agency they express. It provides insight into prisoners’ everyday habits, practices, routines, and rhythms as well as the profoundly existential issues that are engendered, (re)arranged, and anchored in these everyday contexts. It also offers insights into the penal policies, norms, and practices developed and followed by prison authorities and staff.Table of Contents1. Introduction.- 2.

Springer International Publishing AG The Palgrave Handbook of Global Rehabilitation in
Book SynopsisThis handbook provides a unique overview of rehabilitation as practiced internationally in criminal justice. Through the contributions of a diverse group that includes, among others, academics (some of whom are former practitioners), research students, a judge, and a probation chief, it reflects common features of criminal justice in different countries and documents their diversity and celebrates their vitality. In recent times the idea of ‘law and order’ has been expropriated by populist, authoritarian and doctrinaire regimes, almost always and nearly everywhere in the service of arbitrary and unjust rule. By and large this handbook does not include such regimes. But ‘law’ itself also has the capacity to constrain rulers, and ‘order’ in the form of social peace is a universally approved civic asset. In part, the book provides a counter-narrative demonstrating that although criminal justice dispositions such as probation, prisons, and parole can be represented as a ‘via dolorosa’, rehabilitation as illustrated in these pages can become a journey that leads by degrees towards the possibility of a better life. The handbook will be of interest to students, academics, practitioners, managers, policy makers and all those who wish to gain insight into the why and the how of rehabilitation in criminal justice systems across the world. Trade Review“This collection provides a clarion call for a reimagined rehabilitative endeavour that is rooted in these values ... is culturally sensitive and seeks to heal the harms resulting from criminality rather than compound them.” (Lawrence Burke, Current Issues in Criminal Justice, November 29, 2023)“The handbook features a superb collection of thirty-seven substantive chapters, written by more than sixty contributors. The breadth and depth of the material is impressive … . a handbook that not only shines light on the diversity of rehabilitative work across the globe but instils a sense of hope, passion and empathy in the reader situates The Palgrave Handbook of Global Rehabilitation in Criminal Justice as an essential read for anyone interested in the theory, policy and/or practice of rehabilitation.” (Helena Gosling, International Criminology, September 13, 2023)“I found this book to be inspirational – and a constant reminder of the brilliant work that is attempted in the world of a rehabilitative ideal, often in the face of adverse conditions. … A fascinating book, well worth reading in full, or dipping in and out of.” (Chris Martin, BJCJ - The British Journal of Community Justice, July 26, 2023)Table of ContentsContents List of Tables and Figures Acknowledgements Notes on Contributors 1 Prospect Maurice Vanstone and Philip Priestley 2 Law, Economic Crisis, and Diversity.

Springer International Publishing AG Child First: Developing a New Youth Justice
Book SynopsisThis book explores the development and implementation of Child First as an innovative guiding principle for improving youth justice systems. Applying contemporary research understandings of what leads to positive child outcomes and safer communities, Child First challenges traditional risk-led and stigmatising approaches to working with children in trouble. It has now been adopted as the four-point guiding principle for all policy and practice across the youth justice system in England and Wales, it is becoming a key reform principle for youth justice in Northern Ireland, and it is increasingly influential across several western jurisdictions. With contributions from academics, policymakers and practitioners, this book critically charts the progress and challenges in establishing a progressive evidence-led youth justice system. Its dynamic and accessible integration of theory, research, policy and practice, alongside discussion of critical themes, makes it a key read for students on youth crime/justice modules and for a wider market.Stephen Case is Professor of Youth Justice in the Criminology, Sociology and Social Policy division at Loughborough University, UK.

Springer International Publishing AG Dying in Prison: Deaths from Natural Causes in
Book SynopsisThis book uses empirical data gathered using ethnographic methods in two contrasting prisons to provide a rare insight into death and dying in prisons in the UK. The majority of deaths in prison custody in England and Wales result from natural causes, yet the experiences of people dying in prison and the impact of these deaths on the wider prison are under-researched areas. It provides a novel insight into the impact of deaths from natural causes on the prison as an institution and challenges existing work juxtaposing occupational philosophies of ‘care’ and ‘control’. It also identifies how end of life care is provided in prisons and the impact this has on culture and relationships shows how deaths from natural causes in prison custody ‘soften’ prison regimes, culture and relationships. It speaks to an international audience by drawing on the global literature including from the US.Table of Contents1. Introduction2. The carceral geography of death and dying in prison custody3. The governance of mortality and location4. Constructing the dying prisoner5. Caring at the end of life in prison custody6. Evaluating end of life care in prison custody7. After a death8. Conclusion

Springer Verlag, Singapore Life Imprisonment in Asia
Book SynopsisLife imprisonment is the punishment most often imposed worldwide for what societies regard as the most serious offences. Yet, in Asia the phenomenon has never been studied systematically. Life Imprisonment in Asia fills this major gap. It brings together thirteen new essays on life imprisonment in key jurisdictions in the region. Each chapter consolidates what is known about the law and practice of life imprisonment in the jurisdiction and then explores aspects of the imposition or implementation of life sentences that the authors regard as particularly problematic. In some instances, the main issue is the imposition of life sentences by the courts and their relationship to the death penalty. In others, the focus is on the treatment of life sentenced prisoners. In many instances, the most prominent question is whether life sentenced prisoners should be released and, if so, according to what processes. In the overview chapter, the editors place the complex picture that emerges of life imprisonment in Asia in a global context and point to reforms urgently required to ensure that Asian life sentences meet international human rights standards.Life Imprisonment in Asia should be read by everyone who has an interest in just punishments for serious offences, not only in Asia, but throughout the world. It will be an invaluable tool for lawyers, criminologists, policy makers and penal reform advocates in the region and beyond. Table of Contents1.

Oxford University Press Restorative Justice Responsive Regulation
Book SynopsisBraithwaite''s argument against punitive justice systems and for restorative justice systems establishes that there are good theoretical and empirical grounds for anticipating that well designed restorative justice processes will restore victims, offenders, and communities better than existing criminal justice practices. Counterintuitively, he also shows that a restorative justice system may deter, incapacitate, and rehabilitate more effectively than a punitive system. This is particularly true when the restorative justice system is embedded in a responsive regulatory framework that opts for deterrence only after restoration repeatedly fails, and incapacitation only after escalated deterrence fails. Braithwaite''s empirical research demonstrates that active deterrence under the dynamic regulatory pyramid that is a hallmark of the restorative justice system he supports, is far more effective than the passive deterrence that is notable in the stricter sentencing grid of current criminal

Taylor & Francis Ltd Punishment
Book SynopsisThis book explores the concept of punishment: its meaning and significance, not least to those subject to it; its social, political and emotional contexts; its role in the criminal justice system; and the difficulties of bringing punishment to an end. It explores how levels of criminal punishment could and should be reduced, without compromising moral standards, public safety or the rights of victims of crime.Core contents include: Why punishment matters, the salience of emotions in its various discourses and the role of culture. The politicisation of punishment and legitimacy. The penal system, the prominence of the prison in research on punishment and the role of community sanctions. The aims of punishment, its limits and the role of power. The ethics of punishment and human rights. Punishment and social order. This book is essential reading for Trade ReviewRob Canton’s book ‘Punishment’ somehow manages to be both erudite and engaging; both succinct and surprisingly comprehensive. Canton traverses and connects criminological, philosophical and sociological thinking about punishment — as well as drawing the reader closer to its realities in practice and as a lived experience. But there is more here than an elegant synthesis of all of these kinds of knowledge; there is also a series of wise challenges and cautions about when, how and why we punish, and with what consequences -- not just for those directly concerned, but for the kinds of societies we wish to construct, inhabit and develop. I thoroughly recommend this excellent book to anyone who cares about these questions; and we all ought to care about these questions!Fergus McNeill, Professor of Criminology & Social Work, University of GlasgowOver the past centuries countless books have been published on punishment. However, most authors write exclusively from one angle, that is, they approach state punishment as a legal, philosophical, historical, psychological or sociological problem, puzzle or panacea. Few have been able to accomplish what Professor Rob Canton, one of Europe’s most astute observers of punishment, does in this fairly short yet highly readable text: Canton offers the reader a truly multidisciplinary coverage of the complex, troubling, colourful and fascinating practice of punishment in its various contemporary forms, from the modern prison to probation, from electronic monitoring to monetary sanctions. Tom Daems, Professor of Criminology, Leuven Institute of Criminology, KU Leuven, BelgiumRob Canton's Punishment is an intensely thoughtful and beautifully written contribution that reflects its author's long and deep practical and scholarly engagements with the subject. Canton is always lucid, never dogmatic. His account continually reminds us of the ethical and emotional complexities of this troubling topic. Punishment deserves to be read widely and closely by students and practitioners alike.Richard Sparks, Professor of Criminology, University of EdinburghTable of ContentsIntroduction, 1.The Meanings of Punishment, 2.Theories of Punishment, 3.The Institutions and Practices of Punishment, 4.Being Punished, 5.The Ends of Punishment, Conclusion

Taylor & Francis Predictive Policing and Artificial Intelligence Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice
Book SynopsisThis edited text draws together the insights of numerous worldwide eminent academics to evaluate the condition of predictive policing and artificial intelligence (AI) as interlocked policy areas. Predictive and AI technologies are growing in prominence and at an unprecedented rate. Powerful digital crime mapping tools are being used to identify crime hotspots in real-time, as pattern-matching and search algorithms are sorting through huge police databases populated by growing volumes of data in an eff ort to identify people liable to experience (or commit) crime, places likely to host it, and variables associated with its solvability. Facial and vehicle recognition cameras are locating criminals as they move, while police services develop strategies informed by machine learning and other kinds of predictive analytics. Many of these innovations are features of modern policing in the UK, the US and Australia, among other jurisdictions.AI promises to reduce unnecessary labour, speed up various forms of police work, encourage police forces to more efficiently apportion their resources, and enable police officers to prevent crime and protect people from a variety of future harms. However, the promises of predictive and AI technologies and innovations do not always match reality. They often have significant weaknesses, come at a considerable cost and require challenging trade- off s to be made.

Book SynopsisWith a fresh set of interviews exploring cross-cultural differences and similarities, Volume Three of this book includes lessons from practitioners in a diverse array of countries including Honduras, Japan, Lithuania, the Philippines, Thailand, the Slovak Republic, South Africa, and the United States. This book series is based on the premise that comparing countries around the world and getting ''inside'' information about each country's correctional system can be best derived by having people who are seasoned practitioners in each country share their views, experiences, philosophies and ideas.Since most correctional practitioners do not have the time or inclination to encapsulate their experiences into a book chapter, the insight of the practitioner can be best captured by a revealing interview with a researcher given the questions and interview guidelines associated with each chapter. Researchers selected are scholars in corrections, will possibly have conducted original reTable of Contents1. Contextualising the Issue: Leadership in Corrections (Mark A.

Book SynopsisThis text presents the foundations of correctional treatment and intervention, including overviews of the major therapeutic modalities that are effective when intervening with justice-involved individuals to reduce ongoing system involvement and improve well-being. The text also focuses on diagnosis of mental illness, correctional assessment and classification, case planning strategies, and the necessary counseling and human service skills for working alongside system-involved people. Specific chapters focus on working with women, individuals struggling with substance abuse, and clients with severely antisocial behavior such as psychopathy. Written to help students prepare for a career in correctional counseling or forensic social work, the book also assists working professionals (e.g., institutional and community corrections staff) to determine which strategies might be most effective with their clients. Revised using person-centered language, the tenth edition iTrade Review"Every once in a while, you come across a book that matters. And it matters so much that it continues to be updated with the latest information possible. This is what you have in your hands with Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation by Salisbury and Van Voorhis. Helping people get the tools and skills they need to successfully re-enter society is about investing in them as people, the communities they return to, and our community more generally. This book does that and does it masterfully. With COVID-19 ravaging the correctional system, this book is all the more important for students, policymakers, and practitioners."Alex R. Piquero, Ph.D. University of Miami, Department of Sociology & Criminology, Arts & Sciences Distinguished Scholar. "This book, Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation, is a masterpiece. It consists of theoretical frameworks, treatment modalities, and most recent cutting-edge evidence-based practices for treating justice-involved people in institutional settings and in the community. Salisbury and Van Voorhis go the extra mile and provide a critical analysis and the importance of race and culture. They highlight the significance of providing multicultural counseling for racially and ethnically diverse correctional populations, as opposed to an ethno-centrism perspective. This text is so well designed and orchestrated, that any ordinary person can read it and truly understand the meaning of corrections and treatments for individuals in justice systems."Leroy Curtis Johnson, MSW, Assistant Professor (clinical), University of Utah, College of Social Work Table of ContentsPart I: A Professional Framework for Correctional Counseling; 1: The Process of Correctional Counseling and Treatment; 2: Understanding the Special Challenges Faced by the Correctional Counselor; 3: Community Corrections Officers as Change Agents; 4: Correctional Treatment: Accomplishments and Realities; Part II: Correctional Assessment, Diagnosis, Classification, and Case Planning; 5: Assessment and Diagnosis of Correctional Clients; 6: An Overview of Correctional Classification Systems; 7: Case Planning and Case Management; Part III: Contemporary Approaches for Correctional Counseling and Treatment; 8: Behavioral Interventions; 9: Cognitive Interventions; 10: Social Learning Interventions; 11: Family Interventions; Part IV: Effective Correctional Interventions for Special Populations; 12: Treating Clients with Substance Abuse; 13: Treating System-Involved Women; 14: Treating Clients who Commit Sex Offenses; 15: Treating Clients with Severe Antisocial Behavior and Psychopathy
