Making Sense of Prostitution
This book provides a compelling analysis of the conditions in which women are sustained within prostitution in Britain at the end of the millennium. Based on a major empirical study, it is a unique glimpse into how some women, who live lives completely torn apart by poverty, violence and criminalization, are able to understand their lives in prostitution and make sense of the choices they make (including their involvement in prostitution) in their struggles to survive.

Doing Youth Justice
This innovative and original book provides a sociologically contextualised analysis of how discourses of 'risk' and 'need' operate in practice and to what effect. In that sense, the book is an examination of policy made live. By focusing on how these discourses shape and inflect youth justice practice, the book provides timely evidence about youth justice practice at a time when substantial youth justice policies shifts are, once more, on the agenda.
Illicit and Illegal
This book is about the surprisingly neglected area of the regulation of sex. It describes and discusses the ways in which various sexual activities are controlled, regulated and made illegal and/or deviant and illicit. Its primary focus is upon the multiple and complex social controls (laws, statutory regulations, professional/occupational codes, normative frameworks) constructing, constituting and shaping how we 'do' sex, and deals with sex that is both illicit (deviant, illegal) and illegal (criminal, offending). The book challenges the idea that early twenty-first century Britain is increasingly sexually 'liberated' by suggesting that this very 'openness' provides the conditions in which all sexual activities have become increasingly subject to regulation and control. By examining the policies and laws about various sexually activities, and the social conditions underpinning them, alongside existing research and theoretical literature the authors have provided an accessible text on the sociology of sex.

In 1973, Joanna Orton is one of the most prominent businesswomen in the City. She is betrayed by her third husband, Dick, whose sales of the shares she gave him, cost her the control she values above all else. And when a casual love affair turns sour, Joanna inadvertently causes the death of her lover.
Regulating sex for sale
Recent years have seen a 'quiet revolution' in the way that the sex industry is regulated and governed. The consensus around what the problems of prostitution are has broken down and in its place a plethora of contradictory themes has emerged. Regulating sex for sale examines the total package of reforms and proposals that have been introduced in this area since May 2000. Bringing together some of the most well-known writers, researchers and practitioners in the field, it provides a detailed analysis and critical reflection on the processes, assumptions and contradictions shaping the UK's emerging prostitution policy. What are the unintended consequences of recent policies and how do they im...
Dream Walker Shattered

Will Phoenix keep their daughter from turning to the dark arts and ultimately destroying mortals, immortals, gods, and goddesses? Is the child capable of being good?

Will love for one child save the dream-walker bloodline? "I have heard people talking about you." "Really! What do they say?" "That you're permanent death."
Women and Punishment
In the last decade there has been growing international concern about the increasing numbers of women in prison, the effects that imprisonment has on their children, the realisation that gaoled women have different criminal profiles and rehabilitative needs to male prisoners, and the seeming intractability of the associated problems. In response there has been an overarching policy concern in many countries to fashion and co-ordinate gender-specific policies towards female offenders which aim both to slow down the rate of their offending and/or imprisonment, and also to engender flexible programmes which will reduce the time spent in custody and/or away from their young children. The major o...
