Foundations for youth justice

Positive approaches to practice

Anne Robinson

, Criminology and Community Justice,

Sheffield Hallam University

“A radical but realistic prescription for youth justice practice... The book

deserves a wide audience.” Dr Tim Bateman, University of Bedfordshire

How can youth justice refocus its attentions on the rights and perspectives of young people in transition? This exciting new book outlines the state of practice now in flux under the Coalition Government. It explores opportunities for a fresh orientation that places young people at the centre and works collaboratively to nurture strengths, competences and capital. The book proposes a critical perspective that leads into a bold, but realistic remodelling of practice. It will be ideal for students of youth justice and criminal justice on foundation, post-qualifying or professional (CPD) courses.

Unleashed

The phenomena of status dogs and

weapon dogs

Simon Harding

, Middlesex University

“A much-needed insight, which will go some way to helping policy

makers formulate a solution for the dogs and for us.”

Kit Malthouse, London Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime

This is the first book in the UK or the US to set on record the recent cultural phenomenon of the use of certain dog breeds – both legal and illegal – to ‘convey status’ to their owners. Such dogs are easily visible on social housing estates and provide acquired authority, respect, power and control. However, they are increasingly linked to urban street gangs as ‘weapon dogs’ and present a danger to the general public. With a new Afterword updating the paperback, this unique book contextualises the phenomenon in terms of sociology, criminology and public policy. It makes essential reading for academics and policy makers in criminology and criminal justice and those working with animal rights/animal welfare groups.

The Street Casino

Survival in violent street gangs

Simon Harding

, Middlesex University

“A winner – a true breakthrough in street gang research.”

James Densley, Metropolitan State University, USA

Gang violence is on the increase in certain neighbourhoods. There is an urgent need for a fresh perspective that offers insight into gang structure, organisation and offending behaviour to explain this increase. Using the findings from an extensive ethnographic study of local residents, professionals and gang members in south London, and drawing on his vast experience and knowledge of the field, Simon Harding proposes a unique theoretical perspective on survival in violent street gangs. He applies Bourdieu’s principles of social field analysis and habitus to gangs, establishing them as a social arena of competition where actors struggle for distinction and survival, striving to become ‘players in the game’ in the ‘casino of life’. Success is determined by accruing and retaining playing chips – street capital. This perspective offers new evidence to the field that will help academics, students, practitioners and policy makers to understand the dynamics of gang behaviour and the associated risks of violence and offending.

Understanding restorative justice

How empathy can close the gap created

by crime

Pete Wallis

, Oxfordshire Youth Offending Service

This unique book is a clear and detailed introduction that analyses how restorative justice nurtures empathy, exploring key themes such as responsibility, shame, forgiveness and closure. The core notion of the book is that when a crime is committed, it separates people, creating a ‘gap’. This can only be reduced or closed through information and insight about the other person, which have the potential to turn into empathy and even compassion. The book explores this extraordinary journey from harm to healing using the structure of a timeline; from an offence, through the criminal justice process and into the heart of the restorative meeting. Using case studies, the book offers a fresh angle on a topic that is of growing interest both in the UK and internationally. It is ideal as a comprehensive introduction for those new to restorative justice and as a best practice guide for existing practitioners.

Responding to hate crime

The case for connecting policy and research

Edited by Neil Chakraborti, University of Leicester and

Jon Garland

, University of Surrey

“A persuasive case for restorative approaches to hate crime.”

Carolyn Hoyle, University of Oxford

This book bridges the gap between research and policy by bringing together internationally renowned hate crime experts from the domains of scholarship, policy and activism. It provides new perspectives on the nature of hate crime victimisation and perpetration, and considers an extensive range of themes, challenges and solutions which have previously been un- or under-explored. In doing so, the book offers innovative ways of combating and preventing hate crime that combine cutting-edge research with the latest in professional innovations. Essential reading for students, academics and practitioners working across a range of disciplines, Responding to hate

crime makes a clear and compelling case for closer and more constructive

partnerships between scholars and policy makers. HB £70.00 US$110.00 ISBN 978 1 4473 0876 8

Applying complexity theory

Whole systems approaches to criminal

justice and social work

Edited by Aaron Pycroft, University of Portsmouth

and Clemens Bartollas, University of Northern Iowa

“Provides persuasive arguments for breaking away from the

Newtonian paradigm of a linear, controllable world and working

with the complexity of social systems.” Professor Eileen Munro,

London School of Economics

Approaches based around complexity theory are increasingly being used in the study of organisations and the delivery of services. This is the first book to explore the application of complexity theory to difficult practice issues in criminal justice and social work and is intended to stimulate debate. It brings together experts in this emerging field to address complexity theory from a range of perspectives (positivist, realist, and constructivist), providing a detailed but accessible discussion of the key issues to whole systems approaches. The book argues for the usefulness of applying complexity theory to address significant and intractable social problems and also challenges the reductionist approaches to solving those problems currently favoured by policy makers. It will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students in social work and criminal justice.

Alcohol and moral regulation

Public attitudes, spirited measures and

Victorian hangovers

Henry Yeomans

, University of Leeds

“An important and timely study, and should be widely read.”

Dr Judith Rowbotham, Director, SOLON and Institute of

Advanced Legal Studies, University of London

Alcohol consumption is frequently described as a contemporary, worsening and peculiarly British social problem that requires radical remedial regulation. Informed by historical research and sociological analysis, this book takes an innovative and refreshing look at how public attitudes and the regulation of alcohol have developed through time. It argues that, rather than a response to trends in consumption or harm, ongoing anxieties about alcohol are best understood as ‘hangovers’ derived, in particular, from the Victorian period. The product of several years of research, this book aims to help readers re-evaluate their understandings of drinking. As such, it is essential reading for students, academics and anyone with a serious interest in Britain’s ‘drink problem’.

Domestic violence and sexuality

What’s love got to do with it?

Catherine Donovan

, University of Sunderland and

Marianne Hester

, University of Bristol

“Respectful, often heart-breaking and always instructive, this work

sets a gold standard for how we understand domestic abuse in same

sex relationships.” Evan Stark, Rutgers School of Public Affairs

and Administration

This book provides the first detailed discussion of domestic violence and abuse in same sex relationships, offering a unique comparison with domestic violence and abuse experienced by heterosexual women and men. It examines how experiences of domestic violence and abuse may be shaped by gender, sexuality and age, including whether and how victims/survivors seek help, and asks, what’s love got to do with it? The authors develop a new framework of analysis – practices of love – to explore empirical data. Outlining the implications of the research for practice and service development, the book will be of interest to policy makers and practitioners in the field of domestic violence, as well as students and academics interested in issues of domestic and interpersonal violence.

Preventing violence against

women and girls

Educational work with children and

young people

Edited by Jane Ellis, University of Worcester and Ravi K. Thiara,

University of Warwick

The need for children and young people to learn about violence against women and girls (VAWG) has been voiced since the late 1980s. This is the first ever book on educational work to prevent VAWG, providing the most comprehensive contribution to our knowledge and understanding in this area. By bringing together international examples of research and practice, the book offers insight into the underpinning theoretical debates and key lessons for practice, addressing the complexities and challenges of developing, implementing and evaluating educational work to prevent VAWG. This multidisciplinary book will be of interest to educationalists, VAWG and child welfare practitioners, policy makers, researchers and students.

Policing at the top

The roles, values and attitudes of chief

police officers

Bryn Caless

, Canterbury Christ Church University

“A revealing, rigorous insight into the lives and perspectives of

contemporary chief police officers.” Robert Reiner, London School

of Economics

Chief police officers are often shadowy enigmas, even to members of their own forces, yet they make far-reaching strategic command decisions about policing, armed responses, operations against criminals and allocation of resources. What is their background? Where do they come from? How are chief officers selected? Bryn Caless had privileged access to this occupational elite and presents their frank and sometimes controversial views in this ground-breaking social study, which will fascinate serving officers, students of the police, academic commentators, journalists and social scientists, as well as concerned citizens who want to understand those who command our police forces.

Hidden stories of the Stephen

Lawrence inquiry

Personal reflections

Richard Stone

“A message of ‘unfinished business’ on all levels.” Socialist Review

This unique book provides an insider’s view of the seminal inquiry into Stephen Lawrence’s murder by panel member Dr Richard Stone OBE. This accessible and engaging book includes analysis of hitherto inaccessible transcripts. These dramatically show how the Inquiry was undermined to the point of failure to produce the desired results. Hard-hitting and full of insightful detail, this book makes essential reading for academics, students, researchers and anyone interested in institutional racism, particularly in the police.

Access to justice for

disadvantaged communities

Marjorie Mayo

, Goldsmiths College, University of London

“A must-read and not just for those concerned narrowly with the

law.” Gary Craig, Durham University

Access to justice for all, regardless of the ability to pay, has been a core democratic value. But this basic human right has come under threat through wider processes of restructuring, with an increasingly market-led approach to the provision of welfare. Professionals and volunteers in Law Centres in Britain are struggling to provide legal advice and access to welfare rights to disadvantaged communities. Drawing upon original research, this unique study explores how strategies to safeguard these vital services might be developed in ways that strengthen rather than undermine the basic ethics and principles of public service provision. The book explores how such strategies might strengthen the position of those who provide, as well as those who need, public services, and ways to empower communities to work more effectively with professionals and progressive organisations in the pursuit of rights and social justice agendas more widely.

Risk and rehabilitation

Management and treatment of substance

misuse and mental health problems in the

criminal justice system

Edited by Aaron Pycroft, University of Portsmouth and

Suzie Clift

, University of Greenwich

“A topical, insightful collection.” Alex Stevens, University of Kent

Substance misuse (including alcohol) and mental health problems constitute a significant proportion of the work carried out in the criminal justice system. Approaches to these often intractable problems have seen the rise of a dominant risk paradigm concerned with public protection and the use of coercion through court orders to access treatment. This original and valuable book considers notions of risk and rehabilitation in detail within the practice of those court orders, whilst contextualising them within a wider comparative literature and research base. The efficacy of these approaches, practice issues and innovations including for example therapeutic jurisprudence are analysed. Risk and rehabilitation also includes discussions of the implications for partnership working and the importance of reconfiguring the nature of rehabilitative relationships. This is a timely book as probation practice in the UK and elsewhere moves into a post ‘what works’ era, providing opportunities to review the evidence base for effective interventions.

HIDDEN

STORIES

of the

STEPHEN LAWRENCE

INQUIRY

Personal Reflections

“Going through the Inquiry was a reminder of the pain of losing my son – it was difficult but one I had to sit through. The Inquiry filled in the gaps of what happened the night my son was murdered and showed me the depth of racism and corruption that existed in the Metropolitan Police Service. To be able to read the behind-the-scenes account by Dr Richard Stone is important for the history of the Inquiry and its legacy.”

Doreen Lawrence OBE

“… will provide clarity and better understanding about how the combination of prejudice, poor leadership, unaccountable decision making and abuse of power contribute to institutional discriminatory outcomes.”

Lord Herman Ouseley of Peckham Rye

HIDDEN ST ORIES of the STEPHEN L AWRENCE INQ UIR Y RIC HARD ST O NE

Young people who come into contact with police officers on the streets today have little idea of the significance of the stabbing to death of Stephen Lawrence in a racist attack in 1993. Only their parents or grandparents remember the daily exposures of police incompetence and indirect racism which were given high profile in the media for six months. The repercussions of the case are still ongoing with the long overdue conviction in 2012 of two of the original suspects, and in the same year a number of racist assaults by police. This unique book provides an insider’s view of the seminal inquiry into Stephen Lawrence’s murder. Dr Richard Stone OBE was a panel member of the Inquiry as Adviser to the Judge, Sir William Macpherson. Accessible and engaging, the book includes analysis of hitherto inaccessible transcripts, and shows how the Inquiry was undermined to the point of failure to produce the desired results. Dr Stone also discusses contemporary issues and the relevance of the Inquiry today. He says “I have written about my experience because I feel a degree of obligation to tell, from my position at the centre of the Inquiry, just how difficult issues were dealt with.” Hard-hitting and full of insightful detail, this book makes essential reading for academics, students, researchers and anyone interested in institutional racism, particularly in the police.

www.policypress.co.uk

DR RICHARD STONE was a panel member of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry into racism in policing (1997-99) as Adviser to the Judge, Sir William Macpherson. At the time he was Chair of the Jewish Council for Racial Equality. His Independent review of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry 10 years on (richardstonesli.wordpress.com) was launched by the Secretaries of State for the departments of Justice, Home Office, and Communities and Local Government in February 2009.

For 20 years Dr Stone was senior partner of a general medical practice in London. For 14 years he worked with British Muslims as Chair of the Runnymede Islamophobia Commission, and in 2004 he founded Alif-Aleph UK (British Muslims and British Jews). In 2010 he was awarded the OBE for public and voluntary service. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Cambridge Centre for Muslim-Jewish Relations and an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Criminology at the University of Westminster.

“The Stephen Lawrence Report was groundbreaking. It changed Britain for the better. It took courage and determination by the Inquiry’s members to get to the truth. Richard Stone was one of those – and his new book highlights why we have to be ever-vigilant against the unspeakable evils of racism.”

The Right Honourable Jack Straw MP

“By writing this unique book, Richard Stone has recognised that the learning from the Lawrence Inquiry is still a critical factor in the legitimacy and relevance of policing today, which helps to ensure the legacy of Stephen Lawrence withstands the test of time.”

Superintendent Leroy Logan MBE FCMI BSc, Founder Member and past Chair of both the National and Metropolitan Black Police Associations

“It is apt and timely that Dr Stone should reveal detail from the transcript evidence, modulated through his own cool, scientific and humanely liberal interpretation of this important event.” Dr Bryn Caless, Senior Lecturer in Policing , Canterbury Christ Church University
