This ground-breaking textbook engages readers in conversation about
responding to the effects of diversity within formal criminal
justice systems in Westernized nation-states. Moving past a binary
concept of diversity that involves only race and gender, this book
elaborates upon a wide variety of other forms of diversity,
including sexuality, disability, mental health, gendered identity,
refugees, the young and the ageing, and culturally and
linguistically diverse (CALD) peoples, with an awareness of how
intersecting identities make some people more vulnerable than
others. With reported statistics providing only a snapshot of the
incongruent experiences of diverse minorities in contact with
criminal justice systems, there is a clear need for nuanced
training and accessible information regarding diversity in criminal
justice. The book examines diversity in terms of both criminal
justice agents and justice-involved individuals such as people in
prison, those convicted of crimes, the victimized, and the
community. This volume brings together a group of international
scholars to articulate on each of the identified populations,
examining the effect of culture and diversity on criminal justice
outcomes and outlining how those diverse perspectives can improve
criminal justice service delivery overall. Incorporating case
studies, reflections, and activity questions, this book is a
valuable resource for courses in criminology, criminal justice,
corrections, and law enforcement, and is ideal for any program
focusing on multiculturalism and diversity in criminal justice.
Scholars, researchers, and professionals will also benefit from the
analysis.
