Paul Senior is Professor of Probation Studies and Director of a contract research and consultancy centre, the Hallam Centre for Community Justice, at Sheffield Hallam University."This book is an essential corrective to the tendency to discuss criminal justice solely in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and economy. Well-known scholars are joined by newer voices in this wide-ranging and inter-disciplinary collection to show that criminal justice is irreducibly concerned with values and moral judgements." Professor Robert Canton, De Montfort University Leicester "This is a timely, imaginative and thoughtful book which sets a new agenda for criminology.Examining allegiances and rights in different areas of criminological research, policy and practice, the contributors pose some searching questions about values and 'whose side we are on'." Professor Loraine Gelsthorpe, University of Cambridge. President of the British Society of Criminology
The values of criminologists, policy makers, and researchers don’t always correspond with their responses to crime. This collection parses the many different “sides” these professionals take on issues relating to victims and offenders, punishment and protection, and rights and responsibilities. It explores the dynamics of race, gender, and age; the workings of the criminal justice system; the ethics of research; and current debates about new criminological issues.
