This book brings together research into key aspects of the
interconnections between Islam, crime and the criminal justice
system in Britain, a particularly timely collection in the light of
both the recent disturbances in several northern English cities as
well as the impact of the events of 11 September 2001 and their
aftermath.
Chapters in the book focus on young Muslim men and criminal
activity, Muslim women and their experiences of victimisation, the
experiences of Muslim police officers, of Muslims in prison, issues
of human rights in relation to Muslims in Britain, and the criminal
justice policy implications of religious diversity. Main aims
pursued through the book include issues of victimisation as
perceived by Muslim communities, Muslim perspectives on crime and
criminal justice, and ways of addressing issues of marginalisation
and exclusion within Muslim communities.
Overall the book provides an important contribution to debates
over the role of Muslims in British society generally, as well as
their experiences of and involvement in the criminal justice system
and the policy implications that arise from this.
