The Routledge Handbook of Irish Criminology is the first edited
collection of its kind to bring together the work of leading Irish
criminologists in a single volume. While Irish criminology can be
characterised as a nascent but dynamic discipline, it has much to
offer the Irish and international reader due to the unique
historical, cultural, political, social and economic arrangements
that exist on the island of Ireland. The Handbook consists of 30
chapters, which offer original, comprehensive and critical reviews
of theory, research, policy and practice in a wide range of subject
areas. The chapters are divided into four thematic sections:
Understanding crime examines specific offence types, including
homicide, gangland crime and white-collar crime, and the
theoretical perspectives used to explain them. Responding to crime
explores criminal justice responses to crime, including crime
prevention, restorative justice, approaches to policing and trial
as well as post-conviction issues such as imprisonment, community
sanctions and rehabilitation. Contexts of crime investigates the
social, political and cultural contexts of the policymaking
process, including media representations, politics, the role of the
victim and the impact of gender. Emerging ideas focuses on
innovative ideas that prompt a reconsideration of received wisdom
on particular topics, including sexual violence and ethnicity.
Charting the key contours of the criminological enterprise on the
island of Ireland and placing the Irish material in the context of
the wider European and international literature, this book is
essential reading for those involved in the study of Irish
criminology and international and comparative criminal justice.
Teaching Evidence Law sets out the contemporary experiences of
evidence teachers in a range of common law countries across four
continents: Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand,
South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. It
addresses key themes and places these in the context of academic
literature on the teaching of evidence, proof and fact-finding.
This book focuses on the methods used to teach a mix of abstract
and practical rules, as well as the underlying skills of
fact-analysis, that students need to apply the law in practice, to
research it in the future and to debate its appropriateness. The
chapters describe innovative ways of overcoming the many challenges
of this field, addressing the expanding fields of evidence law, how
to reach and accommodate new audiences with an interest in
evidence, and the tools devised to meet old and new pedagogical
problems in this area. Part of Routledge's series on Legal
Pedagogy, this book will be of great interest to academics,
post-graduate students, teachers and researchers of evidence law,
as well as those with a wider interest in legal pedagogy or legal
practice.

The Irish criminal justice system is vast, heavily regulated, and
intensely litigated. In the last ten years alone, there has been a
plethora of new legislation introduced, significantly impacting on
the operation of the system. Within the criminal process,
fundamental human rights and core interests of the community and
society as a whole come into sharp conflict. As an area of study,
criminal justice and procedure is complex, challenging, and
stimulating. This book provides an accessible yet critical analysis
of key themes and stages in the Irish criminal process. It begins
with an overview of the theoretical framework of the process and
then analyzes key issues from initial arrest to sentence and
post-sentencing appeals. Controversial questions - such as police
powers, the role of the prosecutor, victims' rights, juvenile
justice, and miscarriages of justice - are also addressed in a
comprehensive and engaging manner. Irish Criminal Justice: Theory,
Process and Procedure incorporates up-to-date developments in
domestic legislation and case-law, while integrating the latest
developments in human rights law, as they affect the area. The book
will be essential for all students of criminal justice and
procedure, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. As a
comprehensive account of the Irish criminal process, it will also
be a useful resource for practitioners in the area.
