Women and Criminal Justice: From the Corston Report to Transforming Rehabilitation

Editat de Jo Brayford, Jill Annison, John Deering
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 oct 2015
Following the deaths of six female inmates, the UK Home Office commissioned the 2007 Corston Report, a parliamentary investigation into the state of vulnerable women in the British criminal justice system. This insightful book explores developments since the report’s publication, revealing that while some of its recommendations were accepted by government, actual policy has restricted the scale and scope of change. Investigating a broad range of services for women offenders, contributors consider the question of whether women should be treated differently in the criminal justice system and offer possible future policy directions drawn from the Coalition Government’s 2013 Transforming Rehabilitation agenda. This timely analysis will be an important resource for policy makers, service providers, and practitioners alike.

Recenzii

“This book is a terrific and timely contribution to discussions about the state of women’s justice in the United Kingdom and the need to reduce women’s imprisonment. Its mix of theoretical, empirical, and practical insights makes it an invaluable resource for anyone working or studying in this field.”

“Invaluable to service providers and campaigners aiming to navigate the current uncertainty that surrounds provision for women within the criminal justice system.”

“Thought-challenging and offering concrete ways forward to ensure that women’s needs are not overlooked in a climate of significant change, this book is a valuable tool for practitioners and an authoritative resource for those leading policy development.”
