Equality and diversity issues feature significantly in the policies
and practices of all criminal justice agencies. "Communities,
Identities and Crime" provides a critical and refreshing
perspective on the most significant developments.Key areas featured
in the book include a critical focus upon: 'Race' relations
legislation, 'race' equality and criminal justice, particularly in
the aftermath of the Macpherson; Inquiry into the racist murder of
Stephen Lawrence; Gender, crime and victimisation, including
criminal justice responses to sexual and domestic violence; The
increasing role that faith communities play in community justice,
particularly in a post-September 11th 2001 context; Hate crimes
committed against individuals, motivated by prejudice towards the
'race'/ethnic, religious, lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual (and
other) communities that they are perceived to belong to; and
Community engagement and community participation in criminal
justice, community cohesion and civil renewal.The book also
includes a broader theoretical focus, exploring key notions in
relation to identity theory and late modernity, highlighting
social, cultural and economic processes that impact upon identity
constructions, communities and belongingness. The book also raises
important theoretical and methodological issues that a focus upon
social identities poses for the subject discipline of Criminology.
Clearly written in an engaging style, the book is essential reading
for undergraduate and postgraduate students of criminology,
criminal justice, social policy, sociology, victimology and law.
Criminal justice practitioners will also find the book informative
and researchers will value its theoretical and policy focus.
