book coverMothering from the Inside: Research on motherhood and imprisonment

Based on empirical research, this edited collection brings attention to the experiences and perspectives of women who are ‘mothering from the inside’, along with those of their children, families and wider support networks. Ultimately, the book highlights the challenges of – and barriers to – mothering and imprisonment, whilst also illustrating the adaptive strategies adopted in order to resist and/or survive the impact of maternal imprisonment. In doing so, the collection highlights cross-disciplinary themes to encourage debate in relation to issues in contemporary practice.

book coverThe Emerald Handbook of Crime, Justice and Sustainable Development

The Emerald Handbook of Crime, Justice and Sustainable Development brings together a diverse and international collection of essays to critically examine issues relating to crime and justice in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The volume analyses and interrogates the SDGs from different theoretical and ideological standpoints originating from within and beyond criminology, illustrating the complex and politically contentious nature of these issues and providing insight into the different possibilities that exist for realising the SDGs and mitigating the risk that initiatives meant to realise the SDGs, may in fact contribute to harmful and counterproductive policies and practices.

Controlling Immigration Through Criminal Law

book coverEuropean and Comparative Perspectives on “Crimmigration”

Edited by Gian Luigi Gatta, Valsamis Mitsilegas, and Stefano Zirulia

This book provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of the increased role of criminal law in managing migration, from a European, domestic and comparative law perspective. The contributors critically engage with the current trends leading to the criminalisation of irregular migrants, asylum seekers and those who engage in ‘humanitarian smuggling’ and the national and common policies calling for a broader use of criminal law measures. The chapters explore the measures used to protect borders and their impact in terms of effectiveness and their ability to strike a fair balance between security and the protection of human rights. The contributors to the book cover a range of disciplines within law, human rights and criminology resulting in a broad understanding of the issues at play.

Gian Luigi Gatta is Professor of Criminal Law, Università degli Studi di Milano.

Valsamis Mitsilegas is Professor of European Criminal Law and Global Security, Queen Mary University of London.

Stefano Zirulia is Assistant Professor of Criminal Law, Università degli Studi di Milano.

Rethinking Self-Defence

Book coverThe ‘Ancient Right’s’ Rationale Disentangled

T Markus Funk

Self-defence – the ‘ancient right’ – has never been more relevant than in the present era of widespread calls for criminal justice reform.  The book substantially advances the patinaed discussion by introducing for the first time a comprehensive value-centric approach to thinking about the defence’s deeper rationale.  It tackles core issues such as the relative importance of the State’s claimed monopoly on force, procedural justice and the need to shore up the justice system’s legitimacy and creditworthiness, everyone’s presumptive ‘right to life,’ and the importance of ensuring equal standing between citizens.  And, in so doing, the book breaks ground by addressing public perceptions of  ‘just’ and ‘right’ outcomes, as well as the emphasis legal systems place (and should place) on State power.

T Markus Funk is the Firmwide Chair of Perkins Coie’s White Collar & Investigations Practice.

The Emotional Brain and the Guilty Mind

book coverNovel Paradigms of Culpability and Punishment

Federica Coppola

This book seeks to reframe the normative narrative of the ‘culpable person’ in American criminal law through a more humanising lens. It embraces such a reframed narrative to revise the criteria of the current voluntarist architecture of culpability and to advance a paradigm of punishment that positions social rehabilitation as its core principle. The book constructs this narrative by considering behavioural and neuroscientific insights into the functions of emotions, and socio-environmental factors within moral behaviour in social settings. Hence, it suggests culpability notions that reflect a more contextualised view of human conduct, and argues that such revised notions are better suited to the principle of personal guilt. Furthermore, it suggests a model of ‘punishment’ that values the dynamic power of change of individuals, and acknowledges the importance of social relationships and positive environments to foster patterns of social (re)integration. Ultimately, this book argues that the potential adoption of the proposed models of culpability and punishment, which view people through a more comprehensive lens, may be a key factor for turning criminal justice into a less punitive, more inclusionary and non-stigmatising system.

Federica Coppola is Robert A Burt Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience at the Centre for Science and Society at Columbia University, USA.

Race, Recognition and Retribution in Contemporary Youth Justice – The Intractability Malleability Thesis
Esmorie Miller, London South Bank University, UK

Series:Routledge Critical Studies in Crime, Diversity and Criminal Justice
January 2022

Race, Recognition and Retribution in Contemporary Youth Justice provides a cross-national, socio-historical investigation of the legacy of racial discrimination which informs contemporary youth justice practice in Canada and England. The book links racial disparities in youth justice, especially exclusion from ideologies of care and notions of future citizenship, with historical practices of exclusion. Despite the logic of care found in both rehabilitative and retributive forms of youth justice, black inner-city youth remain excluded from lenience and social welfare considerations.
