Download or read book Emotional Literacy in Criminal Justice written by C. Knight and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotions remain largely invisible in the management of criminal justice practice. This book seeks to uncover some of the underground emotional work of practitioners and make visible the impact of both positive and negative emotions, which play a crucial role in practitioner-offender relationships. Exploring how practitioners understand, regulate and work with emotion, Knight argues that the 'soft skills' of emotion are more likely to achieve motivation and change in offenders than the 'hard' skills of punishment, monitoring and surveillance. The book examines some of the gendered implications of this practice and develops an argument for the explicit building of emotional resources within organizations to sustain the development, enhancement and support of emotional literacy in the workforce. Using practice examples, Knight reveals how practitioners can benefit from having an understanding of their own emotions and how these can impact on their practice. This unique and accessible book will be a valuable resource to practitioners across the criminal justice sector including probation officers, youth justice workers, police and prison officers, social workers, policymakers and managers, as well as scholars working within criminology, criminal justice and probation.

Download or read book Emotional Labour in Criminal Justice and Criminology written by Jake Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first volume to explore criminal justice work and criminological research through the lens of emotional labour. A concept first coined 30 years ago, emotional labour seeks to explore the ways in which people manage their emotions in order to achieve the aims of their organisations, and the subsequent impact of this is on workers and service users. The chapters in this edited collection explore work in a wide range of criminal justice institutions as well as the penal voluntary sector. In addition to literature review chapters which consolidate what we already know, this book includes case study chapters which extend our knowledge of how emotional labour is performed in specific contexts, and in relation to certain types of work. Emotional Labour in Criminal Justice and Criminology covers topics such as prisoners who die from natural causes in prison, to the work of independent domestic violence advisors and the use of emotion by death penalty lawyers in the US. An accessible and compelling read, this book presents ground-breaking qualitative and quantitative research which will be critical to criminologists, criminal justice practitioners, students of criminology and academics in the fields of social policy and public service.
Download or read book Research Comparing the Emotional Intelligence of Criminal Justice College Students in Experiential and Didactic Programs written by Davis Leslie and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-04 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains an academic research study that assesses whether there is a significant difference in the levels of emotional intelligence between criminal-justice college students who were enrolled in an experiential program and criminal-justice college students who were enrolled in a didactic program. The participants were given the thirty-three item Schutte, Malouff, Hall, Haggerty, Cooper, Golden, and Dornheim (1998) Emotional Intelligence Scale to measure levels of emotional intelligence. The findings indicate that emotional intelligence is directly related to hands-on training. Thus, because emotional intelligence may prove beneficial in the field, criminal-justice programs may want to consider offering some application-based courses.
Download or read book Emotions Crime and Justice written by Susanne Karstedt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The return of emotions to debates about crime and criminal justice has been a striking development of recent decades across many jurisdictions. This has been registered in the return of shame to justice procedures, a heightened focus on victims and their emotional needs, fear of crime as a major preoccupation of citizens and politicians, and highly emotionalised public discourses on crime and justice. But how can we best make sense of these developments? Do we need to create "emotionally intelligent" justice systems, or are we messing recklessly with the rational foundations of liberal criminal justice? This volume brings together leading criminologists and sociologists from across the world in a much needed conversation about how to re-calibrate reason and emotion in crime and justice today. The contributions range from the micro-analysis of emotions in violent encounters to the paradoxes and tensions that arise from the emotionalisation of criminal justice in the public sphere. They explore the emotional labour of workers in police and penal institutions, the justice experiences of victims and offenders, and the role of vengeance, forgiveness and regret in the aftermath of violence and conflict resolution. The result is a set of original essays which offer a fresh and timely perspective on problems of crime and justice in contemporary liberal democracies.
Download or read book Arrested By Our Mind written by Stacey Lloyd Ph. D and published by . This book was released on 2023-11-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We celebrate this milestone; however, we recognize that, as authors, we are responsible for providing readers with essential, up-to-date factual material, policy trends, and changes in law enforcement practices, leadership, emotional intelligence, and mental health. For law enforcement practitioners, Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the capacity to effectively and efficiently perceive and process emotions. Emotional Intelligence (EI), by definition, is the ability to motivate and endue oneself despite frustration; to control impulses and postpone satisfaction; to manage feelings and keep trouble from overwhelming the ability to think; to emphasize and to hope-the ability to manage EI abilities with the mindset, personality, and temperament. EI merges two of three mental cognition and the effects of intelligence and emotion. EI allows individuals to know and understand themselves, control their actions, plan, adapt to change, manage conflict, relate, and understand others, and build deep, meaningful relationships. Emotions are the result of cognitive interpretation of situations. EI relies on the individual's capacity, determined by variables, which include character and power, to learn new data, gather data, and participate in rational critical thinking. The Approach of This Text In learning about Emotional Intelligence, observers can gain a unique understanding of how the four competencies of Emotional Intelligence intersect-beginning with Self-awareness and the capacity of how it is perceived through one's feelings correctly at the time. Emotions are reactions to the world around us; where do they derive? Self-awareness has a clear sense of character and integrity, including strengths, weaknesses, ideas, beliefs, motives, and emotions. In organizational practices, self-control and self-awareness are the difference between an outstanding public administrator and an outstanding organization. The key assumptions run throughout this book. One concerns the nature of EI as a discipline; the other concerns the best way to analyze EI. EI is interdisciplinary. Criminal justice, sociology, psychology, history, law, and political science contribute to our understanding of EI. This cross-fertilization is enriching, yet it requires familiarity with vast literature. This text is structured with a strong focus on coherence, making this interdisciplinary approach comprehensible yet accessible. EI is a system. In our book, the concept of EI serves as a framework for
Download or read book The Emotional Dynamics of Law and Legal Discourse written by Heather Conway and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his seminal work, Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman suggests that the common view of human intelligence is far too narrow and that emotions play a much greater role in thought, decision-making and individual success than is commonly acknowledged. The importance of emotion to human experience cannot be denied, yet the relationship between law and emotion is one that has largely been ignored until recent years. However, the last two decades have seen a rapidly expanding interest among scholars of all disciplines into the way in which law and the emotions interact, including the law's response to emotion and the extent to which emotions pervade the practice of the law. In The Emotional Dynamics of Law and Legal Discourse a group of leading scholars from both sides of the Atlantic explore these issues across key areas of private law, public law, criminal justice and dispute resolution, illustrating how emotion infuses all areas of legal thought. The collection argues for a more positive view of the role of emotion in the context of legal discourse and demonstrates ways in which the law could, in the words of Goleman, become more emotionally intelligent.

Download or read book Peer Mentoring in Criminal Justice written by Gillian Buck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peer mentoring is an increasingly popular criminal justice intervention in custodial and community settings. Peer mentors are community members, often with lived experiences of criminal justice, who work or volunteer to help people in rehabilitative settings. Despite the growth of peer mentoring internationally, remarkably little research has been done in this field. This book offers the first in-depth analysis of peer mentoring in criminal justice. Drawing upon a rigorous ethnographic study of multiple community organisations in England, it identifies key features of criminal justice peer mentoring. Findings result from interviews with people delivering and using services and observations of practice. Peer Mentoring in Criminal Justice reveals a diverse practice, which can involve one-to-one sessions, group work or more informal leisure activities. Despite diversity, five dominant themes are uncovered. These include Identity, which is deployed to inspire change and elevate knowledge based on lived experiences; Agency, or a sense of self-direction, which emerges through dialogue between peers; Values or core conditions, including caring, listening and taking small steps; Change, which can be a terrifying and difficult struggle, yet can be mediated by mentors; and Power, which is at play within mentoring relationships and within the organisations, contexts and ideologies that surround peer mentoring. Peer mentoring offers mentors a practical opportunity to develop confidence, skills and hope for the future, whilst offering inspiration, care, empathy and practical support to others. Written in a clear and direct style this book will appeal to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, cultural studies, social theory and those interested in learning about the social effects of peer mentoring.

Download or read book Emotions and Crime written by Michael Hviid Jacobsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of the fact that crime is an emotive topic, the question of emotion has been largely overlooked in criminological research, which has tended instead to examine criminal conduct in terms of structural background variables or rational decision-making. Building on research into emotions within sociology, this book seeks to show how criminologists can in fact take emotions seriously and why criminology needs to begin considering emotions as a central element of its theoretical, conceptual and methodological apparatus. Thematically organised and presenting both empirical and theoretical studies, Emotions and Crime pays attention to the different emotional dimensions of crime, victimhood, the criminal justice system, the practice of criminological research and the discipline of criminology. Bringing together the work of an international team of authors and discussing research into violence, punishment, gender, imprisonment and mass atrocity, this volume shows how crime and emotions are inextricably connected, and illustrates both the hidden and pervasive role of emotions in criminological work.
Download or read book Criminal Justice and the Pursuit of Truth written by Hillier, Tim and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2021-06-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the criminal justice system achieve justice based on its ability to determine the truth? Drawing on a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, this book investigates the concept of truth – its complexities and nuances – and scrutinizes how well the criminal justice process facilitates truth-finding. From allegation to sentencing, the chapters take the reader on a journey through the criminal justice system, exposing the marginalization of truth-finding in favour of other jurisprudential or systemic values, such as expediency, procedural fairness and the presumption of innocence. This important work bridges the gap between what people expect from the criminal justice system and what it can legitimately deliver.
Download or read book Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Trans People LGBT and the Criminal Justice System written by Charlotte Knight and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) communities as victims, offenders and staff within the criminal justice system. It draws on both emerging and existing LGBT research and campaigns to identify and explore issues relevant to the criminal justice system, including: agencies of the criminal justice system, victimisation, domestic violence and abuse, transgender experiences, LGBT people as offenders, international perspectives and the personal experiences of LGBT people. Charlotte Knight and Kath Wilson trace the legislative journey toward equal treatment before and after the Wolfenden Report. They consider why, for example, lesbians are over represented on death row in the US, how the prosecution characterises them and what part homophobia might play in offending and in sentencing. They raise important questions about the causes of, and responses to, same-sex domestic violence and abuse and how the system delivers justice to trans people. Sodomy laws and the treatment of LGBT people worldwide are also considered and models of good practice are offered. Their insights will be of interest to practitioners, policy makers and scholars of the criminal justice system, particularly those concerned with the rights of LGBT communities.
