Justice Reinvestment: Winding Back Imprisonment (Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology)

Justice reinvestment was introduced as a response to mass incarceration and racial disparity in the United States in 2003. This book examines justice reinvestment from its origins, its potential as a mechanism for winding back imprisonment rates, and its portability to Australia, the United Kingdom and beyond. The authors analyze the principles and processes of justice reinvestment, including the early neighborhood focus on 'million dollar blocks'. They further scrutinize the claims of evidence-based and data-driven policy, which have been used in the practical implementation strategies featured in bipartisan legislative criminal justice system reforms. This book takes a comparative approach to justice reinvestment by examining the differences in political, legal and cultural contexts between the United States and Australia in particular. It argues for a community-driven approach, originating in vulnerable Indigenous communities with high imprisonment rates, as part of a more general movement for Indigenous democracy. While supporting a social justice approach, the book confronts significantly the problematic features of the politics of locality and community, the process of criminal justice policy transfer, and rationalist conceptions of policy. It will be essential reading for scholars, students and practitioners of criminal justice and criminal law.

Review "Rich with cautionary tales, lofty ideals, and unexpected heroes, pop culture's stories teach us in ways no lecture could. Thy Geekdom Come examines some of the most powerful and beloved narratives of geek culture and connects them to God's redemption story. This devotional delights the heart, stimulates the imagination, and edifies the soul." -ERIN STRAZA, MANAGING EDITOR OF CHRIST AND POP CULTURE"At last-a devotional that speaks to geeks! Not only can I relate to this devotional, I'm moved and inspired." -ALEX J. CAVANAUGH, AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CASSASTAR"Thy Geekdom Come challenges our perspective to help us love God and those around us in a deeper way. It's a great read with wonderful insights." -PAUL H. BOGE, AUTHOR OF FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS"If we believe the redemption story found in the Bible is the greatest story ever told, we should expect to !nd echoes of it in pop culture. Thy Geekdom Come opens readers' eyes to how the geeky things they are already watching, reading, and playing relate to the good news Jesus came to announce." -DREW DIXON, CHIEF CONTENT NERD AT LOVE THY NERD"Brimming with enthusiasm for both Scripture and various corners of pop culture, Thy Geekdom Come offers encouraging, inventive ways to spend time with God's word. Who says morning devotions can't include a little Mass Effect and Miyazaki?" -JOSH LARSEN, EDITOR AND PODCAST HOST, THINK CHRISTIAN"Faith is at its most vibrant when it's embodied in communities of imagination, and few people embody those qualities more than those within geek culture. Thy Geekdom Come brings this confluence together in a vibrant devotional resource for everyone. Blessed are the geeks!" -JAMIE ARPIN-RICCI, AUTHOR OF VULNERABLE FAITH"Thy Geekdom Come is a rich trove of intelligent, surprising, pop-culture-infused meditations that take us from beloved imaginary worlds into the very heart of the gospel itself. In reading, I kept meeting friends old and new-characters, stories, and even whole universes that proved to be no mere object lessons, but genuine reflections of the beauty, truth, and goodness hard-coded into creation." -ADAM BRYANT MARSHALL, EDITOR"This is a powerful work of Christian community. While the authors may not all technically live in the same neighbourhood, they occupy a very real social geography. Some authors wander down the familiar streets of movies, video games, and anime. Others prefer the back alleys and obscure corners of various geekdoms. Each !nd God already at work in these places. Brilliant!" -JARED SIEBERT, AUTHOR OF GUTSY: (MIS)ADVENTURES IN CANADIAN CHURCH PLANTING AND FOUNDER OF THE NEW LEAF NETWORK
