The question of dangerousness -- how it should be defined and punished, and the ethical dilemmas associated with it -- is a recurring theme of modern policy and penological discourse. In this powerful book, John Pratt addresses this question by explaining how dangerousness first became an object of penological discourse and why it has remained so. The late nineteenth century was an important turning point as earlier concerns about the threat posed by the dangerous classes give way to a new set of concerns about dangerous criminals. He traces change to the present, identifying 'Three Strikes' laws and related initiatives as the latest in a long line of attempts to govern the dangerous.

Gendered Justice takes a unique, multi-layered look at the various elements that factor into our understanding of domestic violence and how the criminal justice system handles situations of domestic violence. The book focuses primarily on the role of gender, but also considers socio-economic status and race. Illustrated with case studies throughout, the book introduces major themes, such as the social construction of gender and victimology, as well as topics such as the portrayal of intimate partner violence in the media and how it shapes our understanding of violence.

Chaque année, plus de 600 000 personnes sont condamnées par la justice française. Leurs sanctions s'étalent de légères amendes à de lourdes peines de prison. Ces jugements font l'objet d'une exposition médiatique intense, de critiques nombreuses et d'évaluations contradictoires. La justice pénale est tour à tour qualifiée de laxiste, de discriminatoire et de partiale ; elle est accusée de s'acharner sur certains ou de représenter les intérêts d'un groupe ou d'une classe... Pourtant, cette défiance masque une relative méconnaissance des mécanismes de la décision judiciaire. Pour expliquer ses modulations, de nombreux paramètres sont évoqués. Parfois inconciliables, ceux-ci vont d'un légalisme strict - les juges ne feraient qu'appliquer la loi à la lettre - à un contextualisme absolu - les peines prononcées dépendraient de "ce que les juges ont mangé au petit déjeuner". A partir d'un travail de recherche inédit fondé sur l'analyse de vastes bases de données individuelles, en particulier le casier judiciaire national français, ce livre déconstruit les verdicts pour en analyser les déterminants. Comment l'avalanche de lois et les mesures prises par l'exécutif infléchissent-elles le travail des magistrats ? La justice est-elle rendue uniformément sur l'ensemble du territoire ? Est-elle influencée par l'actualité ou les caractéristiques des parties ? Quels biais sont susceptibles de l'affecter ? Les critères des juges diffèrent-ils de ceux des citoyens ? En répondant à ces questions fondamentales et en éclairant les relations entre le pouvoir politique et l'institution judiciaire, Arnaud Philippe nous permet d'envisager la "demande de sévérité" exprimée par les sondages et l'" inflexibilité " sécuritaire affichée par les élus sous un tout autre jour.

Miller's book makes clear the limitations of criminal justice policies which take no account of the effect on citizens who vary by gender, race and social class. Contributors show how desired social change can result from human and just practices.
