cjm 71: Detention
Criminal Justice Matters has been relaunched in 2008 under a new publishing partnership with Routledge.
The special focus on detention, edited by Dr David Scott, of the University of Central Lancashire, explores the different sites and purposes of detention, examines the backgrounds and experiences of those detained and considers the legitimacy of detention.
The magazine includes a wide range of articles examining detention under terrorism powers, the growth in the prison population, the increasing use of immigration detention, police use of detention, deaths in custody, the impact of detention on families and inspecting custodial institutions (see full contents below).
In a new format CJM also includes a selection of articles on topical themes including approaches to gun crime, ‘zero tolerance’ policing and corporate harm and victimisation.
