Respect and Criminal Justice offers the first sustained examination
of 'respect' in criminal justice in England and Wales, where the
value is elusive but of persisting significance. The book takes the
form of a critique of the 'respect deficit' in policing and
imprisonment. It is especially concerned with the ways in which
both institutions are merely constrained and not characterised by
respect. In the course of the critique, it emerges that they appeal
to the word 'respect' but rarely and only superficially address the
prior question of what it is to respect and be respected. Despite
academic interest in the democratic design of these institutions in
recent decades, the book concludes that respect is more akin to a
slogan than a foundational value of criminal justice practice.
