This timely book offers an overview of how to understand health and wellbeing in custodial settings. It draws on cutting-edge research for a big picture perspective on the issues of prisoners' health and wellbeing in prison settings. Bringing together international experts from research psychology, health and criminology, the volume creates a multidisciplinary narrative to highlight contemporary issues within prisons concerning health and wellbeing. It also explores how these issues can be effectively researched and subsequently understood.The book covers how to navigate ethics in prisons research, the practicalities of conducting research in custodial settings, as well as discussions and case study examples from custodial settings in different countries. Chapters include illustrative examples and practical guidance from those working in the area, offering rich and in-depth insights into the different factors that affect health and wellbeing within prisons. The book also reflects on contemporary changes to prison research following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.The book will be essential reading for postgraduate and upper-level undergraduate students of research psychology, criminology and health psychology. The book will also be highly relevant for postgraduate students and professionals studying or working on health and wellbeing in prisons and custodial environments.

Police and Policing in the UK

An unprecedented dialogue between a long-term federal prisoner and a senior prison official exposes how America's carceral system scars everyone it touches.
No One Gets Out Unscarred makes a simple but rarely acknowledged case: America's prison system is failing not only the people it incarcerates, but also the staff who work inside it and the communities to which almost everyone returns. Rather than treating prisoners and correctional officers as opposing sides in a zero-sum struggle, the book shows how their lives are bound together by the same punitive culture, institutional incentives, and political decisions.
At the heart of the book is an extraordinary exchange between two men who spent decades on opposite sides of the bars. Robert Barton has been incarcerated since adolescence in high-security federal prisons. Jack Donson is a retired Bureau of Prisons official who began as a correctional officer and rose to become a case manager. Drawn from more than fifty hours of interviews, their interwoven accounts reveal how a system designed to punish and control ends up brutalizing prisoners while simultaneously eroding staff morale, health, and judgment, producing an adversarial environment that makes everyone less safe.
Moving beyond exposés and redemption narratives, No One Gets Out Unscarred examines the everyday mechanics of incarceration: routine lockdowns, restrictive housing, medical neglect, mental-health failures, broken grievance systems, decaying infrastructure, and the hollow promise of rehabilitation. These realities are not presented as abstractions or policy talking points, but as lived experience, seen from inside a cell and from within the bureaucratic hierarchy tasked with enforcing the rules.
Rejecting both abolitionist polemic and law-and-order defenses, the book asks a pragmatic question with urgent implications for public safety: if more than 95 percent of incarcerated people will eventually come home, what kind of prison system actually serves society? By centering shared trauma, accountability, and common-sense reform, No One Gets Out Unscarred reframes incarceration as a collective problem and opens a conversation long missing from the national debate.

The Case Against America's Prison System, From Both Sides of the Wall

Although some businesses have developed strategies for managing short-term disruptions, many do not have systems or resources in place for the long-term consequence management of catastrophic events that could lead to failure. This book is unique in that it gives practical, concise guidelines to the corporate manager in the event of any crisis or physical catastrophe, from a kidnapping to a collapsing building, that creates long term effects for business property, employees or customers.

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

This volume explores ethical aspects relating to claims for mitigation arising from culpable state action (or inaction). It answers the important and controversial question: to what extent should the state mitigate sentencing for defendants who have been victims of state misconduct? The volume explores the normative justifications for mitigation and answers many intriguing questions. For example, in terms of the procedural challenges, should the offender have to prove a causal link between state wrongdoing or neglect and the offending? Can a court take judicial notice of state-induced social adversity and apply this consideration to all affected offenders? Other questions relate to the implications for courts and sentencing commissions which issue guidance to courts regarding mitigation at sentencing. To what extent is the offender less culpable as a result of state misconduct, and what are the limits of any resulting sentence reductions? Do sentence reductions for state misconduct undermine proportionality, or deprecate the seriousness of the impact on the victim of crime? Should this factor be included in any sentencing guidelines or possibly even as a statutory mitigating factor? Each contribution explores a distinct, cross-jurisdictional claim for mitigation on the basis of State negligence or misconduct towards the offender. The chapters all address the appropriate response of courts at sentencing.

Is Sentence Mitigation Appropriate?

Responding to the Culpable State

Using an aesthetic culture and techniques termed as jihadi cool, terrorist groups have been able to recruit members from around the world, so how do we begin to respond? This book analyzes the rhetorical and ethical dynamics of a culture of jihadi cool/chic, and why these rhetorical and aesthetic techniques have been such a powerful recruitment force for particular transnational terrorist groups. The author uses an evidence-based approach, with frameworks derived from law, politics, philosophy, rhetoric, feminist theory, and communication studies, to examine various attempts to construct counter-narratives to the jihadi cool master narrative. The book closes with an examination of how to begin to respond critically and effectively to the lure of jihadi cool.

Regions and Cities

Throughout the twentieth century, planning and planners were central to our understanding of cities and regions. Today, however, planning is facing powerful challenges - professionally, intellectually, practically - in ways arguably not seen before. Recent developments and trends are raising fundamental questions about how we plan regions. Planning is no longer solely the domain of professional planners but has been opened up to a diverse group of actors, each with their own interests. The study of cities and regions was traditionally taught in planning schools and geography departments, but this link with place and space disciplines is being steadily eroded as research increasingly takes place in and through interdisciplinary research institutes.Against this backdrop, Regions in Evolution provides the first comprehensive account of a hitherto untold history of regions and planning. Told through the unique lens of regional studies, the authors bring to light the role of key individuals, groups and disciplines in shaping research agendas and debate. It reveals voices which were marginalised, planning ideas which were lost, approaches that keep coming back and challenges that persist. Believing passionately in the values and purpose of regional planning, while sceptical of the one-size-fits-all institutional form that Regional Planning often adopts, the authors develop an argument for planning regional futures based on a multitude of approaches, methods and strategies that might still require someone to make sense of it all.

Improved usage of forensic science evidence by legal practitioners is essential to reduce miscarriages of justice. This book presents critical insights into contemporary issues of forensic proof from a broad perspective. Using DNA and fingerprint evidence, the authors compare and contrast the science of forensics and how it is communicated to judges, juries, and counsel. With authors from Australia, the UK, and the U.S., the book also addresses how these different countries address science in the courtroom. This resource is ideal for all those who work in forensic capacities, including those scientists who increasingly are called to testify abroad.
