Description

Explore a critical analysis of the justice system in this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines the impact of the 2007 Corston Report, which proposed a radical, women-centered approach to imprisonment in England and Wales. The report suggested a fundamental rethinking of how services for women in conflict with the law are delivered, both in custody and within the community. This text investigates the implementation of a decarceration strategy, which advocated for community-based treatment programs and suggested that prison should be reserved for women committing serious and violent offenses. Ten years after the initial recommendations, this volume provides essential reflections on the progress made and the ongoing relationship between policy and practice. It is a necessary resource for those studying legal, social, and medical sciences regarding the treatment of women in the justice system.
