Taylor & Francis Prison Violence
Book SynopsisPrisons are dangerous places, and assaults, threats, theft and verbal abuse are pervasive - attributable both to the characteristics of the captive population and to an institutional sub culture which promotes violence as a means of resolving conflicts. Yet the crimes perpetrated by prisoners on other prisoners have attracted little interest, and criminological research has contributed little to an understanding of situations in which violence arises in penal institutions. This book seeks to remedy this, and to address and answer a number of key questions: how do features of the prison social setting shape conflicts?; what social norms guide the decision to use violence?; what are the personal and social consequences of spending months or years in places where distrust and anxiety are normal?; how do staff respond to the dangers that are part of daily life in many prisons?; is it possible to identify factors associated with risk and resilience?; and what methods of handling conflictTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction and overview; Chapter 2 Methods and key concepts; Chapter 3 The extent and nature of victimization; Chapter 4 Reciprocal victimization and bullying; Chapter 5 Fear and vulnerability; Chapter 6 Conflicts I — interests, relationships, catalysts; Chapter 7 Conflicts II — interpretations, purposes, social context; Chapter 8 Power contests; Chapter 9 Pathways to safety;

Taylor & Francis Responses to Serious Offending by Children
Book SynopsisThis book explores the principles, practice and challenges in determining justice system responses to serious offending by children globally. Divided into four parts, the book provides a balance of theoretical and empirical insights. Anchored in a theoretical framework based on the human rights of children, as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, it considers the relationship between scientific evidence (such as brain development) and the human rights framework, before going to explore the diversity of responses to children who are found responsible for serious offences. It brings together experts from various disciplines to fill a gap relating to serious offending by children in the literature. Scholars from Africa, Latin America and Asia, as well as Europe, North America and Oceania provide perspectives from legally, socially and culturally distinct jurisdictions. The first part focuses on the theoretical framework and explores the applicable standards aTable of Contents1. IntroductionNessa Lynch, Yannick van den Brink, Louise FordePART I: PRINCIPLES2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sexual Offences Against Children in India
Book SynopsisSexual Offences Against Children in India examines the evolution of the law pertaining to sexual violence against children, the judicial decisions since the inception of the POCSO Act till date with respect to aspects of the POCSO Act and the best practices from other developed jurisdictions for handling cases and victims of child abuse.Despite being prevalent, violence against children is often hidden or underreported, though its impact is widely acknowledged. In a country like India the vocabulary to communicate around sexuality and sexual abuse is almost non-existent. India has seen its journey from having no law on sexual abuse of children to having a special law in the form of the Protection of Children against Sexual Offences Act 2012 (POCSO Act). This book demystifies the problem of sexual violence against children in India pre- and post-POCSO Act. There is also a novel attempt to examine the implementation of the POCSO Act in the eastern Indian states of OdisTable of ContentsChapter 1: Sexual offences against Children and the POCSO Act 2012Chapter 2: Criminal Justice Process from the Child Victim’s LensChapter 3: Role of police in investigation of sexual offences against childrenChapter 4: Dynamics of trial process in Child Sexual Offence CasesChapter 5: Judicial Approach in Cases under the POCSO Act 2012

Taylor & Francis The Politics of Redress
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1990, The Politics of Redress is a product of and commentary on significant developments in critical criminology. It shifts the emphasis from the criminologist as a police agent to a fighter for social justice. The author focuses on the role of punishment in society, in general, and in criminology, in particular, urging the reader to reimagine the concept of punishment, especially penal punishment. The arguments addressed in this book range from a comparative analysis of penal policies in various countries to philosophical debates about whether punishment is compatible with a just social order. With the Black Lives Matter movement, the topic of prison abolition has, once again, gripped societyâs conscience making this text a vital read for students of law, criminology, sociology, philosophy, and history.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Enforcement of Offender Supervision in Europe
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comparative analysis of the process of breach across ten different European jurisdictions by identifying and elaborating a number of key analytical themes through which the different systems can be compared and evaluated. It is informed by and hopes to advance the research activities of the COST Action IS1106 on Offender Supervision in Europe, particularly the Action's work on developing new comparative methodologies to examine the process of decision-making involved in the breaching of offenders for non-compliance. This volume consists of country chapters and thematic chapters. Analyses are based on exhaustive reviews of the literature available in each jurisdiction as well as the results of an empirical pilot study to provide a unique and valuable insight into current practice as well as enhancing our understanding of the contingencies and vagaries of the processes of breach as they exist in both civil and common law European jurisdictions. The keyTrade Review"This remarkable volume provides the first sustained attempt to explore decision-making about compliance and enforcement in comparative context. Given the crucial role that these issues play in driving – or restraining – the expansion of penal control, the work could hardly be more timely or more important. By helping us explore how these issues are differently constructed, understood and addressed in a wide range of different jurisdictions, this book provides a valuable resource for scholars and reformers alike."- Fergus McNeill, Professor of Criminology and Social Work, University of Glasgow, UK"The process of breach in community supervision is by far the most important criminological issue that you never read about. Done correctly, the breach process can imbue supervision with legitimacy, done incorrectly it can become a backdoor into mass incarceration. Boone and Maguire’s unique and invaluable collection of studies demonstrates the vast variety in between with a one-of-a-kind survey across Europe. An essential contribution to knowledge in criminology."- Shadd Maruna, Professor of Criminology, University of Manchester, UK, and author of Making Good: How Ex-Convicts Reform and Rebuild Their Lives"Breach proceedings are part of the hidden ‘backdoor’ side of sentencing, too long ignored by academics. This book adds considerably to the literature by acknowledging the difficulties of analysis, the theoretical complexity and the terminological challenges of European comparisons. Qualitative, thematic and collaborative, this book provides an invaluable guide to those who seek to make sense of enforcement decisions, but also to those who come later - future researchers will find this an exciting and reliable foundation on which to build future work."- Professor Nicola Padfield, University of Cambridge, UK"While researchers world-wide have rightly focused attention on the more visible legal and cultural practices driving imprisonment, the increasingly significant role of the enforcement of offender supervision has gone almost unnoticed. In fact, as this volume demonstrates, the study of ‘breach processes’ unearths urgent normative and empirical questions, which will occupy researchers for generations to come. With contributions from some of Europe’s leading scholars, this volume is set to become landmark in the normative and empirical study of practices which have, perhaps for too long, operated under the radar." - Professor Cyrus Tata, FRSA, Strathclyde University, UKTable of ContentsPART A. 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Penal Cultures and Female Desistance
Book SynopsisThis book makes a unique contribution to the internationalisation of criminological knowledge about gender and desistance through a qualitative cross-national exploration of the female route out of crime in Sweden and England. By situating the female desistance journey in diverse penal cultures, the study addresses two major gaps in the literature: the neglect of critical explorations of gender in desistance-related processes, and the lack of internationally comparative perspectives on the lived experience of desistance.Grounded in a feminist methodology underpinned by a critical humanist perspective this book draws on 24 life-story narrative interviews with female desisters across Sweden and England. The discussion covers departure points, qualitative experiences of criminal justice, as well as barriers and ladders' in the female route out. While some cross-national symmetry is detected, particularly in the areas of victimisation and issues around short custodial sentencesTrade Review"Linnéa Österman's book makes an important contribution to the international literature on desistance. Not only does it focus on women’s experiences of desistance but, more significantly, by comparing the experiences of female desisters in England and Sweden, it highlights the role of broader penal cultures – characterised as ‘Anglophone Excess’ and ‘Nordic Exceptionalism’ – in shaping barriers to desistance and routes out of crime."– Gill McIvor, Professor of Criminology and Co-Director of the SCCJR, University of Stirling, UKTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Criminal Justice and Privatisation
Book SynopsisOver the past few years, opposition to the privatisation in public services in the United Kingdom and elsewhere has grown, especially in areas related to criminal justice. Privatisation has existed within the British criminal justice system at least since the early 1990s, but the privatisation of the Probation Service in 2014 was a significant landmark in this process and signalled a larger programme of privatisation to come.Criminal Justice and Privatisation works to examine the impact of privatisation on the criminal justice system, and to explore the potential effects of privatising other areas including the police and the security industry. By including chapters from practitioners and academics alike, the book offers an expansive overview of the criminal justice system, as well as observations of the effect of privatisation at ground level. By also exploring the way the private companies are paid, how they operate and what private companies do, this book offTable of Contents1.Privatisation in Criminal Justice.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Law Society and Corruption
Book SynopsisThis book presents new socio-legal perspectives and insights on the social life of corruption and anticorruption in authoritarian regimes.This book takes up the case of Uzbekistanan authoritarian regime in Central Asia and one of the most corrupt countries in the world according to Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Indexand examines the corruption that developed in a tightly closed authoritarian regime permeated by a large-scale shadow economy, a weak rule of law, and a collectivist legal culture. Building on socio-legal frameworks of legal compliance, living law and legal pluralism, the central argument of the book is that the roles, meanings, and logics of corruption are fluid, and depend on a myriad of structural variables, and contextual and situational factors.This book will be of value to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of sociology of law, legal anthropology, and Central Asian studies, especially those with an interest in the

Taylor & Francis Ltd DeathQuest
Book SynopsisThis fifth edition of the first true textbook on the death penalty engages the reader with a full account of the arguments and issues surrounding capital punishment. The book begins with the history of the death penalty from colonial to modern times, and then examines the moral and legal arguments for and against capital punishment. It also provides an overview of major Supreme Court decisions and describes the legal process behind the death penalty. In addressing these issues, the author reviews recent developments in death penalty law and procedure, including ramifications of newer case law, such as that regarding using lethal injection as a method of execution. The author's motivation has been to understand what motivates the deathquest of the American people, leading a large percentage of the public to support the death penalty. The book educates readers so that whatever their death penalty positions are, they are informed opinions.Trade ReviewBohm's DeathQuest is by far the best text on capital punishment available; no other is near as thorough and complete; no other provides as deep a review of all of the relevant issues and topics of debate; no other provides as exhaustive a review of the research literature nor of the relevant case law. All other texts are competing for the second rung on the ladder for DeathQuest occupies the top rung without any challengers.--John Cochran, University of South FloridaDeathQuest provides an in-depth introduction to the American death penalty for the novice and a helpful resource for the knowledgeable. At a time when capital punishment is drawing increasing scrutiny and criticism, the topic deserves the careful attention provided by this extremely helpful compendium. --Carol Steiker, Harvard Law SchoolThis is a clear and comprehensive approach to capital punishment—it addresses basic facts about the death penalty including: the history of its use in this country, landmark Supreme Court cases, a global perspective, analysis of execution methods, and arguments surrounding deterrence, economic costs, innocence, racial discrimination, arbitrariness, retribution, religion, and public opinion. As such, it provides students with the foundation for an impressive breadth of knowledge regarding capital punishment. --Talia Harmon, Niagara UniversityThis book is a compelling and comprehensive analysis of capital punishment written in an engaging style. Bohm does a masterful job of presenting and explaining court cases, the research, and the many difficult questions raised by our system of capital punishment. The result is that this book will make you think about your attitude toward capital punishment and by the end, you will better understand both sides of the issue. --Marla Sandys, Associate Professor, Indiana UniversityTable of ContentsContentsForewordAcknowledgments About the AuthorPrefaceChapter 1 History of the Death Penalty in the United States: The Pre-Modern PeriodChapter 2 Capital Punishment and the Supreme Court: The Pre-Modern PeriodChapter 3 The Challenge to Capital Punishment’s LegalityChapter 4 Capital Punishment and the Supreme Court: The Modern PeriodChapter 5 The Death Penalty at the Federal Level, in the Military, and GloballyChapter 6 Cruel and Unusual Punishment, Death Row, and Methods of ExecutionChapter 7 General Deterrence and the Death PenaltyChapter 8 Future Dangerousness, Incapacitation, and Economic Costs of Capital Punishment Chapter 9 Miscarriages of Justice and the Death PenaltyChapter 10 Arbitrariness and Discrimination in the Administration of the Death PenaltyChapter 11 Retribution, Religion, and Capital PunishmentChapter 12 American Death Penalty OpinionAppendix A ReferencesSubject Index
