The words we use to talk about justice have an enormous impact
on our everyday lives. As the first in-depth, ethnographic study of
language, "Talking Criminal Justice" examines the speech of moral
entrepreneurs to illustrate how our justice language encourages
social control and punishment.
This book highlights how public discourse leaders (from both
conservative and liberal sides) guide us toward justice solutions
that do not align with our collectively professed value of "equal
justice for all" through their language habits. This contextualized
study of our justice language demonstrates the concealment of
intentions with clever language use which mask justice ideologies
that differ greatly from our widely espoused justice values.
By the evidence of our own words "Talking Criminal Justice
"shows that we consistently permit and encourage the construction
of people in ways which attribute motives that elicit and empower
social control and punishment responses, and that make punitive
public policy options acceptable.This book will be of interest to
academics, students and professionals concerned with social and
criminal justice, language, rhetoric and critical criminology.
