Prison Medicine and Health
There are almost 86,000 people in the prison system in the United Kingdom, held in 118 prisons and nine immigration removal centres. People in the carceral system have some of the most complex health and social care needs in all of society. They have higher rates of cardiovascular disease, mental health issues, substance misuse problems, and the prison setting can increase the spread of infectious diseases. Therefore, they require complex, multidisciplinary care that is person-centred and that does not treat them as a prisoner, but rather as a patient. As the specialty of prison medicine develops, this handbook provides an introduction to the discipline, offering a hands-on guide that brings together up-to-date policy and guidance alongside practical tips for practitioners working in the prison estate.
HC 307 - Crime Reduction Policies: A Co-Ordinated Approach?
The Justice Committee believes The Treasury should seriously question whether taxpayers' money is used in ways most likely to reduce future crime and victimisation and must develop a longer term strategy for the use of resources tied up currently in the criminal justice system. All parts of the criminal justice system have had to cope with significant spending cuts, yet it appears that the Government has shied away from using the need to make those cuts to re-evaluate how and where money is spent. The Committee welcomes the development of various cross-Government initiatives to deal with the sources of crime, such as the Troubled Families Programme. But resources committed are tiny compared ...
Non-fatal Offences Against the Person
According to Garda Recorded Crime Statistics, non-fatal offences account for over eleven percent of all reported crime in Ireland, with some 16,500 reported incidents in 2016 alone. Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person: Law and Practice is the first dedicated book on this subject in Ireland. It provides an in-depth analysis to the laws relating to non-fatal offences in Ireland, with detailed expert annotations of the Non-Fatal Offences against the Person Act 1997, the principal legislation governing the law in this area. The author also considers the various offences created by the Act, including an in-depth analysis of the relevant case-law, necessary proofs and possible defence options. This work is fully updated and consolidates all changes and amendments made over the past two decades since the enactment of the 1997 Act. It will be an essential resource for all lawyers dealing with offences under the Non-Fatal Offences against the Person Act 1997. [Subject: Irish Law, Criminal Law]
Plotting Change
Plotting Change is the first issue of the new journal from drug policy think tank Volteface, bringing together a series of innovative reports published by the organisation over the past two years. Through its exploration of five key areas, the journal provides extensive analysis of current government policy around cannabis in the UK, whilst proposing alternatives designed to stimulate a thought-provoking, new debate on the subject. An essential tool for policy-makers, researchers and students, the issues raised by these reports are rarely examined and have been addressed head-on, resulting in a journal that makes for an insightful, accessible and nuanced read.

Bard of Erin
Colm Tóibín has called Thomas Moore ‘the most influential figure in shaping the Irish political psyche’. In Bard of Erin, Ronan Kelly tells the story of Moore’s extraordinary life – from humble beginnings in Dublin to glittering social and literary success in London (at one point his popularity was eclipsed only by that of Sir Walter Scott and his close friend Lord Byron). Ronan Kelly’s biography is a gripping and definitive account of a great romantic figure.
