This book provides a focused discussion of how families are
governed through technologies. It shows how states attempt to
influence, shape and govern families as both the source of and
solution to a range of social problems including crime. The book
critically reviews family governance in contemporary neo-liberal
society, notably through technologies of self-responsibilisation,
biologisation, and artificial intelligence. The book draws
attention to the poor working class and racialised families that
often are marked out and evaluated as culpable, dysfunctional, and
a threat to economic and social order, obscuring the structural
inequalities that underpin family lives and discriminations that
are built into the tools that identify and govern families. Filling
a gap where disciplinary perspectives cross-cut, this book brings
together sociological and criminological perspectives to provide a
unique cross-disciplinary approach to the topic. It will be of
interest to researchers, scholars and lecturers studying sociology
and criminology, as well as policy-makers and professionals working
in the fields of early years and family intervention programmes,
including in social work, health, education, and the
criminologically-relevant professions such as police and probation.
We now live in a pre-crime society, in which information technology
strategies and techniques such as predictive policing, actuarial
justice and surveillance penology are used to achieve
hyper-securitization. However, such securitization comes at a cost
- the criminalization of everyday life is guaranteed, justice
functions as an algorithmic industry and punishment is administered
through dataveillance regimes. This pioneering book explores
relevant theories, developing technologies and institutional
practices and explains how the pre-crime society operates in the
'ultramodern' age of digital reality construction. Reviewing
pre-crime's cultural and political effects, the authors propose new
directions in crime control policy.
How can evidence-based skills and practices reduce re-offending,
support desistance, and encourage service user engagement during
supervision in criminal justice settings? How can those who work
with service users in these settings apply these skills and
practices? This book is the first to bring together international
research on skills and practices in probation and youth justice,
while exploring the wider contexts that affect their implementation
in the public, private and voluntary sectors. Wide-ranging in
scope, it also covers effective approaches to working with diverse
groups such as ethnic minority service users, women and young
people.
Critical criminological theories and perspectives are typically

an in-depth but accessible introduction to foundational and
contemporary theories and perspectives in critical criminology. In
doing so, it introduces students to theories and perspectives that
challenge mainstream criminological theories about the causes of
crime, and the operation of the criminal justice system. With the
inclusion of boxed examples, key points and sample essay questions
