The Prison Officer
This book is a thoroughly updated version of the popular first edition of The Prison Officer. It incorporates the significant increase in knowledge about the work of prison officer since the first edition was published and provides a live account of prison work and ways of understanding the role of the prison officer in the late-modern context. Few detailed narratives exist of prison work and the sort of role the prison officer occupies; this book addresses the gap. Using a range of quantitative and qualitative data and drawing on available theoretical literature it explores the role of the prison officer in an ‘appreciative’ way, taking into account the little-discussed issues of power ...
The Effects of Imprisonment
As the number of prisoners in the UK, USA and elsewhere continues to rise, so have concerns risen about the damaging short term and long term effects this has on prisoners. This book brings together a group of leading authorities in this field, both academics and practitioners, to address the complex issues this has raised, to assess the implications and results of research in this field, and to suggest ways of mitigating the often devastating personal and psychological consequences of imprisonment.
Alison Liebling on Successful Prisons
About this Podcast, What makes a good prison? For Alison Liebling, a criminologist at the University of Cambridge and the director of the Institute of Criminology's Prisons Research Centre, the answer is the existence and the practice of trust. Liebling has years of going into dozens of individual lockups and believes that good prisons are possible. "A good prison," she details, "is one where prisoners feel safe and the environment is not threatening--and therefore they can concentrate on their own personal development." In this podcast, Liebling discusses her ongoing research in the prison environment. In methodological terms Liebling has adopted an appreciative inquiry approach, which she came to almost accidentally while trying to discover a way to describe what works in a prison and how prisons differ from each other. Appreciative inquiry seeks to identify what is working well, analyze why it is working well, and then support people or organizations in building on these self-determined positives. "So instead of telling me about your offending," she would ask, "tell me something you're most proud of."

To honour the extraordinary contribution of Professor Anthony Edward Bottoms to criminology and criminal justice, leading criminologists and penal scholars have been asked to contribute original essays on the wide range of areas in which he has written. The book starts by reflecting on the depth and breadth of Anthony's contribution and his melding of perspectives from moral philosophy, social theory, empirical social science research, and criminal justice. This is no ordinary collection, because it also contains a major essay by Anthony Bottoms, on Criminology and 'positive morality', reflecting on social order and social norms. In similar vein, Jonathan Jacobs approaches criminology from a...
