Featuring contributions from scholars from across the globe,
Routledge Handbook of Public Criminologies is a comprehensive
resource that addresses the challenges related to public
conversations around crime and policy. In an era of fake news,
misguided rhetoric about immigrants and refugees, and efforts to
toughen criminal laws, criminologists seeking to engage publicly
around crime and policy arguably face an uphill battle. This
handbook outlines the foundations of and developments in public
criminology, underscoring the need to not only understand earlier
ideas and debates, but also how scholars pursue public-facing work
through various approaches. The first of its kind, this collection
captures diverse and critical perspectives on the practices and
challenges of actually doing public criminology. The book presents
real-world examples that help readers better understand the nature
of public criminological work, as well as the structural and
institutional barriers and enablers of engaging wider audiences.
Contributors address policies around crime and crime control, media
landscapes, and changing political dynamics. In examining attempts
to bridge the gaps between scholarship, activism, and outreach, the
essays featured here capture important tensions related to
inequality and social difference, including the ways in which
criminology can be complicit in perpetuating inequitable practices
and structures, and how public criminology aims-but sometimes
fails-to address them. The depth and breadth of material in the
book will appeal to a wide range of academics, students, and
practitioners. It is an important resource for early career
researchers, more established scholars, and professionals, with
accessible content that can also be used in upper-level
undergraduate classes.
This book queries the concept of rehabilitation to determine how,
on a legislative and policy level, the term is defined as a goal of
correctional systems. The book explores what rehabilitation is by
investigating how, at different moments in time, its
conceptualization has shaped, and been shaped by, shifting norms,
practices, and institutions of corrections in California. The
author calls for a rethinking of theoretical understandings of the
corrections system, generally, and parole system, specifically, and
calls for an expansion in the questions asked in reintegration
studies. The book is designed for scholars seeking to better
understand the relationship between correctional systems and
rehabilitation and the full scope of rehabilitation as a
legislative goal, and is also suitable for use as teaching tool for
historical, textual, and interviewing methods.
