Contributions come from an active research network (WFCJ) comprised of interested individuals and organisations working in the field, including individuals with lived experience, so data, discussions and recommendations are taken from the forefront of current research and practice. The 'reflection points' moments/questions at the end of each chapter encourage critical thinking and reflection about the issues under discussion. In addition, there is a collective aspect to be book, with a breadth of relevant topics, bringing together research and practice in one place, with practical recommendations.

Reviews for Critical Reflections on Women, Family, Crime and Justice

Through their critical reflections, feminist researchers, practitioners, activists and criminologists help us understand the many layers of systems failure, double standards and disadvantage that result in women's criminalisation, while being clear that the point is to achieve change. Jenny Earle, Transforming Lives Programme Director, Prison Reform Trust (2012-20) Drawing on personal experiences, this book demonstrates vividly the social injustices that embroil women in the penal system causing such hardship and distress for them and their children with little or no benefit to anyone. Rob Canton, De Montfort University
