Описание:
This book examines the current debate about UK street gangs termed the ‘UK Gang Thesis’ debate. It argues that policy formations in the UK aimed at addressing street gangs preceding and succeeding the English riots of 2011 have encompassed positions of both gang denial and gang blame. The policy pendulum of denial and blame raises questions about where UK gang-policy stands, and which ideas and influences have framed our responses to this issue. The book will explore the UK Gangs Thesis using an analysis of empirical evidence from three sites in three English regions which encompasses periods of both gang denial and gang blame. This book is an examination of the relationship between theory, policy and practice in the context of the current UK gangs-discourse, and one of the first to examine the country lines phenomena. There is a need to formulate a less partisan analysis of gangs in the UK, and to recapture the debate from analyses which understate or overstate the gang problem. In order to do so, Andell argues that a realist approach is needed which defines what constitutes social reality and overcomes theoretical and methodological difficulties in order to critique present formulations of gangs. This book provides this critique and makes suggestions for a more comprehensive and democratic approach to gang policy, in what can be termed a critical realist approach to gangs.

Описание: Thinking About Criminal Justice: A Reader helps students cultivate greater levels of critical thinking skills and question long-standing criminal justice policies and aspects of the criminal justice system. The anthology presents readers with a tool called a Critical Thinking Scan (CTS), which challenges them to analyze the readings in the text from various angles and to focus internally to push through their innate personal biases and consider new ideas and viewpoints.The anthology is organized into four distinct units. Unit I introduces critical thinking as an essential part of criminal justice and addresses issues of racialized bias and injustice within the discipline. Unit II invites student to consider the types of assumptions they make about the seriousness of certain types of crime and how these assumptions shape their points of view. The readings examine white supremacist terror, cybercrime, and voter fraud. In Unit III, students learn about the intersection of racism, sexism, and the criminal justice system. The final unit addresses good citizenship and the modern call for criminal justice reform with articles that address police-community interactions, sex work, sex trafficking, wrongful convictions, cash bail, and the War on Drugs. Throughout, students are encouraged to apply the CTS method developed by the editor to ask questions, acknowledge bias, reason through logic, diversify thought, and exhibit fair-mindedness.Thinking About Criminal Justice is a thought-provoking and essential reader for programs and courses in the discipline.

Описание: The book discusses police practices in Uganda, which are understood as fluid and reflective of the socio-political, cognitive and discursive contexts within which the Uganda Police Force (UPF) exist. The author was immersed in the UPF both as an ethnographer and a consultant. The book demonstrates how police officers navigate clashes between personal interests and those of the UPF shedding more light on the divergences and convergences between policies in theory and policies in practice. It contributes to the literature on police research, especially to our understanding of policing and the anthropology of the state in Africa. It highlights that the Ugandan police engages in political policing and its role is stretched beyond its legal mandate. The target audience is twofold: first, academics interested in police studies and the undercurrents of interface bureaucracies in Africa. Second, practitioners focused on improving state and police services in African contexts.
