Life is characterised by movement, change and development,
including transitions, losses and grief. People experiencing loss
must learn to accommodate it and, sometimes, relearn new roles.
Whether the offender is accommodating general loss (such as
transition), the loss of others or facing their own impending
death, the bereavement process can become a particularly
complicated experience for those involved in the criminal justice
system. Criminal offenders may be excluded from participating in
grief rituals and may receive few explicit opportunities to talk
about a loss they've experienced, sometimes resulting in
disenfranchised grief. Informing thinking around assessment, care,
and support procedures, this volume seeks to bring together a range
of perspectives from different disciplines on crucial issues
surrounding the impact of loss, death, dying and bereavement for
criminal offenders. The book will explore inherent challenges and
responses to the criminal justice system by considering to what
extent offenders' loss, death, dying and bereavement experiences
have been - or should be - recognised in policy and practice. The
first section considers theoretical approaches to loss; the next
section translates these issues using professional perspectives to
explore practical applications; and the final section introduces an
offender perspective. Through identifying challenges and
consolidating evidence, this multidisciplinary book will interest
researchers interested in loss and bereavement in vulnerable
communities, concepts of disenfranchised grief, end-of-life care
and mental healthcare in the criminal justice system.

This book explores the critical questions of how and why criminal
justice policies emerge, and examines how criminal justice policy
is understood and applied by practitioners. It questions whether
diversity in implementation implies policy failure or a sign of
healthy activism among local practitioners.lied by practitioners.
