Handbook on Punishment Decisions: Locations of Disparity provides a
comprehensive assessment of the current knowledge on sites of
disparity in punishment decision-making. This collection of essays
and reports of original research defines disparity broadly to
include the intersection of race/ethnicity, gender, age,
citizenship/immigration status, and socioeconomic status, and it
examines dimensions such as how pretrial or guilty plea processes
shape exposure to punishment, how different types of sentencing
decisions and/or policy structures (sentencing guidelines,
mandatory minimums, risk assessment tools) might shape and
condition disparity, and how post-sentencing decisions involving
probation and parole contribute to inequalities. The sixteen
contributions pull together what we know and what we don't about
punishment decision-making and plow new ground for further advances
in the field. The ASC Division on Corrections & Sentencing
Handbook Series publishes volumes on topics ranging from violence
risk assessment to specialty courts for drug users, veterans, or
people with mental illness. Each thematic volume focuses on a
single topical issue that intersects with corrections and
sentencing research.

This insightful volume integrates criminological theories,
prevention science, and empirical findings to create an up-to-date
survey of crime prevention research and strategies. Its
interdisciplinary perspective expands on our knowledge of risk
factors to isolate the malleable mechanisms that produce criminal
outcomes, and can therefore be targeted for intervention. In
addition, the text identifies developmental, lifespan, and social
areas for effective intervention. Reviews of family-, community-,
and criminal justice-based crime prevention approaches not only
detail a wide gamut of successful techniques, but also provide
evidence for why they succeed. And as an extra research dimension,
the book's chapters on methodological issues and challenges uncover
rich possibilities for the next generation of crime prevention
studies. Included in the coverage: Integrating criminology and
prevention research Social disorganization theory: its history and
relevance to crime prevention Research designs in crime and
violence prevention Macro- and micro-approaches to crime prevention
and intervention programs Implications of life course: approaches
for prevention science Promising avenues for prevention, including
confronting sexual victimization on college campuses Spotlighting
current progress and continuing evolution of the field, Preventing
Crime and Violence will enhance the work of researchers,
practitioners, academicians, and policymakers in public health,
prevention science, criminology, and criminal justice, as well as
students interested in criminology and criminal justice.

"Sex Work Matters" brings sex workers, scholars and activists
together to present pioneering essays on the economics and
sociology of sex work. From insights by sex workers on how they
handle money, intimate relationships and daily harassment by
police, to the experience of male and transgender sex work, this
fascinating and original book offers theoretical discussions as
well empirical case studies, providing new ways to link theory with
lived experiences. The result is a vital new contribution to
sex-worker rights. The book will equip any reader with new
theoretical frameworks for understanding the sex industry,
challenging readers to explore the topic of sex work in new ways,
especially its cultural, economic and political dimensions.
