Acts of Abuse
Author: Adam SampsonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134905912
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Sexual crime is a topic of massive public concern. Yet the debate over its causes and the appropriate responses of the criminal justice system is often fuelled by ignorance and prejudice, with little understanding of the reality of sexual crime. Acts of Abuse explores the response of the criminal justice system to this important issue. Its author, Adam Sampson, examines the existing research about the causes of rape and child abuse, the number of offences being committed, and the policy of the courts. He then examines in detail the responses of the probation service and the prison system to the increased number of offenders with which they are being required to deal. Written by a prominent critic of the British penal system, this is the first comprehensive survey of the phenomenon of sexual crime in the British penal context. It will appeal to students and all those with an interest in issues relating to crime and justice.

The Official History of Criminal Justice in England and Wales
Author: David DownesPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000373657
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Volume III of The Official History of Criminal Justice in England and Wales draws on archival sources and individual accounts to offer a history of penal policymaking in England and Wales between 1959 and 1997. The book studies the changes underlying penal policymaking in the period, from a belief in the rehabilitative potential of imprisonment to a reaffirmation in 1993 that ‘Prison Works’ as a deterrent to crime. A need to curb the rising prison population initially focussed on developing alternatives to prison and a new system of parole; however, their relative ineffectiveness led to sentencing becoming the key to penal reform. A slackening of faith in rehabilitation led to pressure for greater emphasis on humane containment and the rebalancing of security, order and justice in prison regimes. Thus, 1991 was the climactic year for what became largely unfulfilled hopes for lasting penal reform. Escapes, riots and prison occupations were prime catalysts for changes, often highly contentious, in penal policymaking. Notably, there was no simple equation between political party, minister and policy choice. Both Labour and Conservative governments had distinctly liberal Home Secretaries and, after 1992, both parties took a more punitive approach. This book will be of much interest to students of criminology and British history, politics and law.
Medical Power in Prisons
Author: Joe SimPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
The author attempts to reconstruct the beliefs and perceptions of the clerical authors. Critically analyzes the origins, development and consolidation of medical power in English prisons, questioning the assumption that professional medicine in prisons has evolved benevolently and independently, uncontested in its work and unbiased in its ideologies, policies and practices.
