About this title

Synopsis

This edited collection offers the first system-wide account of the impact of COVID-19 on crime and justice in England and Wales. It provides a critical discussion of the challenges faced by criminal justice agencies (prison, probation, youth justice, courts, police), professionals and service users in adapting to the extraordinary pressures of the pandemic on policy, practice and lived experience.

The text integrates first-hand narrative and artistic accounts from a variety of key stakeholders experiencing the criminal justice system (CJS). The editors recommend a range of evidence-based policy and practice improvements, not only in terms of planning for future pandemics, but also those that will benefit the CJS and its stakeholders in the longer term.

About the Authors

Mark Monaghan is a lecturer in Sociology, Social Policy and Crime at the University of Leeds, UK. He completed his first degree in Sociology from the University of Liverpool and then went to Leeds to undertake postgraduate study. His doctoral research centred on the problematic nature of evidence-based policy-making, when applied to heavily politicised areas.

Sarah Moore joined the University of Bath in 2015, having previously held posts at Royal Holloway University of London and Queen’s University, Belfast. Her research ranges across the sociology of crime/criminal justice and the sociology of health, linked by an interest in the cultural construction of danger and the social mechanisms of blame. She is the author of two previous books. Ribbon Culture: Charity, Compassion, and Public Awareness (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008/2010), awarded the British Sociological Association’s Philip Abrams Memorial Prize and Crime and the Media (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014).

Stephen Case is Associate Professor of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Swansea University. He has published in a range of international journals and conducted research for the Youth Justice Board, Home Office and Welsh Government.
