This book showcases innovative justice initiatives from around the world which engage offenders, practitioners and communities to reduce reoffending and support desistance and positive change. It is groundbreaking in bringing together inspiring ideas and pioneering practices to analyse how ‘justice done differently’ is making a difference.
The voices and experiences of the people at the forefront of these innovative initiatives are presented throughout the book, including offenders, corrections staff and directors, the judiciary, scientists and academics, volunteers and community organisations. Strengths-based research methods are used to investigate and celebrate best practices and ‘good news stories’ from the field. The authors raise critical questions about what is considered innovative and effective, for whom and in what context, presenting their own conceptual approach for analysing innovation.
With initiatives drawn from diverse jurisdictions and cultures – including the UK, Europe, Australia, Asia, the US and South America – this book showcases original ideas and refreshing developments that have the potential to transform rehabilitation and reintegration practices. The book’s substance and style will resonate with practitioners, students and academics across the interdisciplinary fields of criminology and criminal justice.
‘For too long "innovation" has been a dirty word in the field of rehabilitation studies, for fear that anything that deviated from the official script would be deemed correctional "quackery". In this remarkable new book, the quacks strike back! Graham and White have assembled an incredible resource for a new generation of rehabilitation scholars and practitioners unafraid to experiment in the name of better outcomes, and, frankly, better science. Innovative Justice is precisely the right book for a true rehabilitation revolution.’ - Professor Shadd Maruna, Dean of the School of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University Newark, USA
‘This fresh and inspirational book celebrates imaginative and progressive work in many different countries that is making a positive difference to the lives of offenders and those around them. Rather than being preoccupied with risks or needs, these initiatives have in common the guiding belief that creative activities and self-expression enable people to flourish: the route to desistance is most likely to be found by affording people opportunities to transcend their identity as offenders by developing their strengths and achieving their potential.’ - Rob Canton, Professor in Community and Criminal Justice, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK
‘One of the most pressing questions facing criminology today is this: What good can criminal justice do? This isn't just a technical question about "what works". Rather, it suggests a much deeper challenge to frame what Durkheim called "the mission of justice" constructively and to make criminal justice mean something more than, and something better than, harm reduction or containment. Graham and White's excellent and inspiring new collection offers us tantalising glimpses of some possible answers and deserves to be read by anyone and everyone who cares about justice in any of its forms.’ - Fergus McNeill, Professor of Criminology & Social Work, University of Glasgow, UK

THE SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION OF URBAN SPACE IS A CRUCIAL element in the manner in which policing and the criminalisation of young people occurs in Australian society. For it is the conflict over the use of particular urban spaces which in many ways forms the basis of the relationship between young people and the police, and hence the initial phases of the formal processes of the criminal justice system. At one level it could be argued that it is the heavy-handedness of the police and/or the misbehaviour of young people, which is at the heart of "street crime" and the clashes that do occur on the street between these groups. The routine use of violence, harassment and threats by the police has been ably and convincingly documented (Alder 1991; White et al. 1991; Cunneen 1990a; Burdekin 1989); but so too has the chronic disrespect for the law and law officials on the part of many young people (Alder et al. 1992). A focus exclusively on the immediate relationship betw...

Although bullying is associated with gangs, questions arise as to whether bullying, as such, takes place within gangs. To provide a critical analysis of bullying as this pertains to youth gangs and especially to violence within gangs, and as applied to the behaviour of individual gang members. Young men between 12 and 25 years of age. Review of relevant literature with a view to theorising the nature of the relationship between bullying and violence within a youth gang context. Bullying is associated with the reasons why individuals join gangs and with gang-related behaviour, but the violence within a gang is of a different character than that usually described by the term bullying. Bullying has implications for related and/or subsequent types of street violence, but is less relevant for descriptions of violence within a youth gang context as such.

Teachers in a number of States in Australia have become increasingly militant in recent years. This paper examines the nature of the teachers' collective mobilisation from the point of view of the ideological construction of the occupation. It is argued that specific ideological elements, particularly those which revolve around the notion of professionalism, serve to mediate between the current occupational situation of teachers and their industrial/political activity. It will be suggested that while teachers have become more militant in their collective activities, this militancy cannot be equated with a form of trade unionism informed by working class or proletarian interests, nor can it be seen as necessarily indicating a movement toward more radical views of the capitalist social system.
