Culture, Diversity, and Criminal Justice
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-19187-4 (ISBN)
With reported statistics providing only a snapshot of the incongruent experiences of diverse minorities in contact with criminal justice systems, there is a clear need for nuanced training and accessible information regarding diversity in criminal justice. The book examines diversity in terms of both criminal justice agents and justice-involved individuals such as people in prison, those convicted of crimes, the victimized, and the community. This volume brings together a group of international scholars to articulate on each of the identified populations, examining the effect of culture and diversity on criminal justice outcomes and outlining how those diverse perspectives can improve criminal justice service delivery overall.
Incorporating case studies, reflections, and activity questions, this book is a valuable resource for courses in criminology, criminal justice, corrections, and law enforcement, and is ideal for any program focusing on multiculturalism and diversity in criminal justice. Scholars, researchers, and professionals will also benefit from the analysis.
Alex Workman (MRes) is a criminologist and has an interest in the social justice outcomes of marginalized populations, particularly those who are sexually diverse, and the intersections they have with other parts of their identity. Alex’s doctoral thesis investigates survivors of intimate partner violence and their manifestation of resilience after leaving the relationship. This study focuses on the lived experiences of gender and sexuality diverse people and other intersections of their identity such as people living with a disability, Indigenous people, culturally and linguistically diverse people, and religious minorities. Alex’s research focuses on the intersections of public health, criminology, policing, and human rights. The intersectional disciplinary approach to research has seen Alex travel internationally to present his research in Canada and Scotland as part of the Law Enforcement and Public Health (LEPH) conference. Additionally, Alex is now co-chair of the Intersectionality in Law Enforcement and Public Health Special Interest Group (GLEPHA). Alex has been teaching across a broad array of disciplines within health and social sciences including, cultural safety, policing, criminological theory, human rights, across undergraduate programs at Western Sydney University. Alex’s upcoming work centers around the concept of Whiteness with the title of this upcoming book being the Handbook of Critical Whiteness Deconstructing Dominant Discourses Across Disciplines. Ranya Kaddour (MRes) is a criminologist, holding undergraduate degrees in psychology from the Australian Catholic University and criminology from Western Sydney University. Ranya’s research focuses on vulnerable at at- risk groups including Australia’s Indigenous populations, women, and those with disabilities. Moreover, Ranya’s research focus strives to maintain that a person’s human rights are central to all decision- making processes, after working within a prisoner–rights justice agency. Ranya currently teaches in the undergraduate social science, social work, and health science programs at Western Sydney University. Patricia M. Griffin (PhD) is an Associate Professor Criminal Justice Program at Holy Family University (Philadelphia). She received her doctorate in criminal justice at Temple University. Pat began her career in federal law enforcement with the United States Office of Organized Crime and Labor Racketeering. Prior to joining Holy Family University, she held administrative appointments and lecturer positions at Saint Joseph’s University, Boston College, and Cabrini University.
