Download or read book Working together to cut crime and deliver justice written by Great Britain: Office for Criminal Justice Reform and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-11-15 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document details the Government's strategic plan for the criminal justice system to 2011 based on four priorities: effectiveness in bringing offences to justice; engaging the public and inspiring their confidence; putting the needs of victims at the heart of the justice system; and developing simple and efficient processes which make the best use of resources, expertise and technology. To deliver efficient and effective services, the criminal justice agencies (including the police, prosecution services, courts, youth justice, probation and prison services) will need to work closely together through their local criminal justice boards (LCJBs) and other local partnerships. This will also support the Government's wider crime reduction and re-offending strategies to make communities safer, as set out in the Home Office crime strategy document "Cutting crime: a new partnership 2008-2011" (available at http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/documents/crime-strategy-07/crime-strategy-07?view=Binary).

Download or read book Whose Criminal Justice written by Katherine Doolin and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching theme of this book is the balance between the role of a central government in creating and shaping the regulatory framework of criminal justice and the potential for communities at a local level to become more involved in responding to crime and anti-social behavior in their midst. These twin dynamics are explored in the two main sections of the book. Through a series of UK case studies in Part I - The Regulatory State - the book examines how the central state has sought to address the risks and problems associated with crime and anti-social behavior in modern times. The case studies consider the new context for law and order which arose during the period and ask how and why new sanctions were put in place to regulate particular kinds of behavior. They also highlight some of the unintended consequences, notably the criminalization of more people. In Part II - Empowered Communities as Stakeholders in Criminal Justice - the book explores the potential for local communitie

Download or read book The Welsh Criminal Justice System written by Robert Jones and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study represents the first systematic attempt to explore the functioning of the policing and criminal justice system in post-devolution Wales. Its particular relevance is underscored by the revelation that Wales has the highest imprisonment rate in western Europe. Drawing on official data as well as extensive interviews with senior figures, this book represents the first systematic exploration of the operation of the justice system in Wales across the jagged edge of devolved and non-devolved functions. There remains little understanding of how the justice system operates in the anomalous circumstances of post-devolution Wales This book aims to fill this gap in understanding and concludes with an assessment of the proposals of the Commission on Justice in Wales for reform.
Download or read book Our Enemies in Blue written by Kristian Williams and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's begin with the basics: violence is an inherent part of policing. The police represent the most direct means by which the state imposes its will on the citizenry. They are armed, trained, and authorized to use force. Like the possibility of arrest, the threat of violence is implicit in every police encounter. Violence, as well as the law, is what they represent. Using media reports alone, the Cato Institute's last annual study listed nearly seven thousand victims of police "misconduct" in the United States. But such stories of police brutality only scratch the surface of a national epidemic. Every year, tens of thousands are framed, blackmailed, beaten, sexually assaulted, or killed by cops. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on civil judgments and settlements annually. Individual lives, families, and communities are destroyed. In this extensively revised and updated edition of his seminal study of policing in the United States, Kristian Williams shows that police brutality isn't an anomaly, but is built into the very meaning of law enforcement in the United States. From antebellum slave patrols to today's unarmed youth being gunned down in the streets, "peace keepers" have always used force to shape behavior, repress dissent, and defend the powerful. Our Enemies in Blue is a well-researched page-turner that both makes historical sense of this legalized social pathology and maps out possible alternatives.

Download or read book Working with Children and Young People written by Lindsay O'Dell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional ways of working with children and young people are giving way to new practices. Where practice solutions previously tended to be imposed on children and young people, professionals are now looking to engage them as vital partners in actively negotiated and co-constructed models of working. Combining social ecological and social constructionist perspectives drawn from a range of academic and practice disciplines, Working with Children and Young People explores and interrogates how ideas about childhood, policy and professional discourses change over time and, in turn, affect the issues faced by young people and their families. In particular, this important text: - Develops a critical and reflective approach to knowledge and practice explored vividly across a wide range of practice settings - Presents a new vision, where the focus is centrally on the child or young person and where dominant ideas are challenged - Explores how key concerns, such as professional power and children's rights, embed themselves in working relationships. Working with Children and Young People provides an innovative critical framework for all students on vocational and professional courses involving work with children and young people. It also offers illuminating reading for practitioners working with the 0–18 age group, whether in the statutory, voluntary or private sectors.
