Survivor Criminology: A Radical Act of Hope is a trauma-informed
approach to the study of crime and justice that stems from the
lived experiences of crime survivors. The chapters within this
volume explore our authors' who have each had close personal
encounters with violence and death, as well as institutionalized
oppressions based on racism, heterosexism, sexism, and poverty. As
scholars, professors, practitioners, and students in the field,
these lived experiences with crime and criminal justice have shaped
their research, teaching, and advocacy work. Their voices represent
experiences that are intersectional, mult-igenerational, global,
trauma-informed and resiliency focused. They are deliberately and
decidedly anti-racist, and their experiences acknowledge the harm
that has resulted from institutionalized and structural trauma.
Most importantly, their stories are grounded in their lived
experiences. This volume offers survivor criminology as a radical
act of hope. Our hope comes from the belief that a trauma-centered
approach to crime, justice, and healing provides the opportunity
for criminology to expand its theoretical and methodological roots.
We see this work as transformative for the discipline - for
students, scholars, members of the community, and policy-makers.
Introduction to Corrections: Policy, Populations, and Controversial
Issues provides students with a holistic introduction to
contemporary corrections practice and the opportunities and
challenges they are likely to face within their future professional
careers. The text is divided into three distinct units. Unit I
examines the evolution of contemporary corrections and philosophies
of punishment, correctional administration, probation and parole,
and reentry and reintegration. In Unit II, students learn about the
constitutional rights of incarcerated individuals, prison culture,
and correctional programming. Dedicated chapters explore the
characteristics of incarcerated female, juvenile, and vulnerable
populations-including LGBTQ persons, elderly persons, and
individuals who suffer from mental illness-as well as how these
characteristics can impact their incarceration experiences. The
final unit speaks to modern controversies in corrections such as
racial equity, wrongful conviction, the death penalty, and the
prison industrial complex. Throughout, case studies, discussion
questions, and application exercises facilitate greater student
learning and retention. Written to provide students with a solid
knowledge base within the discipline, Introduction to Corrections
is an ideal textbook for courses in corrections, administration of
justice, and criminal justice.
Examining the evolving reach of the #MeToo MovementIn this timely
and important collection, editors Jason D. Spraitz and Kendra N.
Bowen bring together the work of contributors in the fields of
criminal justice and criminology, sociology, journalism, and
communications. These chapters show #MeToo is not only a support
network of victims' voices and testimonies but also a revolutionary
interrogation of policies, power imbalances, and ethical failures
that resulted in decades-long cover-ups and institutions structured
to ensure continued abuse. This book reveals #MeToo as so much more
than a hashtag. Contributors discuss how #MeToo has altered the
landscape of higher education; detail a political history of sexual
abuse in the United States and the UK; discuss a recent grand jury
report about religious institutions; and address the foster care
and correctional systems. Hollywood instances are noted for their
fear of retaliation among victims and continued accolades for
alleged abusers. In sports, contributors examine the Jerry Sandusky
scandal and the abuse by Larry Nassar. Advertising and journalism
are scrutinized for covering the #MeToo disclosures while dealing
with their own scandals. Finally, social media platforms are
investigated for harassment and threats of violent victimization.
Drawing on the general framework of the #MeToo Movement,
contributors look at complex and very different
institutions-athletics, academia, religion, politics, justice,
childcare, social media, and entertainment. Contributors include
revelatory case studies to ensure we hear the victims' voices;
bring to light the complicity and negligence of social
institutions; and advocate for systemic solutions to institutional
sexual abuse, violence, and harassment.
