Yvonne Jewkes Reihenfolge der Bücher

Exploring the intersection of architecture and rehabilitation, Yvonne Jewkes examines how prison design can foster healing rather than punishment. As a criminologist, she advocates for environments that promote reflection and hope for inmates, while personally navigating the challenges of her own life during a tumultuous renovation. With 11.5 million prisoners worldwide, she poses thought-provoking questions about the impact of humane treatment on reintegration into society. Jewkes invites readers to reconsider the purpose of prisons and the role of compassionate design in shaping lives.

The book offers a comprehensive introduction to crime studies, featuring updated crime statistics and case studies, including notable events like the Jimmy Savile scandal and the murder of Lee Rigby. It encourages critical thinking about significant issues within the field, making it a valuable resource for students. Additionally, it includes access to a dedicated student website for further learning and engagement.

Yvonne Jewkes docieka, w jaki sposób przestępczość, przestępstwo i sami przestępcy są ukazywani w różnych mediach. Z recenzji prof. dr hab. Stanisława Jędrzejewskiego

This is the most comprehensive and ambitious book on prisons to have been published, a key text for anybody studying the subject and an essential work of reference for practitioners working in prisons and other parts of the criminal justice system. It is especially timely in view of the many changes and debates about the role of prisons and their future organisation and management as part of the National Offender Management Service. A key aim of the book is to explore a wide range of historical and contemporary issues relating to prisons, imprisonment and prison management, and to chart likely future trends. Chapters in the book are written by leading scholars in the field, and reflect the range and depth of prison research and scholarship. Like the Handbook of Policing and Handbook of Crime Prevention and Community Safety the Handbook on Prisons will be the essential book on the subject.

A stimulating introduction to the key debates and dimensions in media studies, this is a valuable resource for undergraduate students. Posing questions about the nature of culture in modern society, it looks at the historical development of the various media, their relationship with modernity, and the critical commentaries that have evolved as a result of their public and private presence. The readings encompass a wide range of media forms, from television, radio, film, magazines, newspapers, and advertising to emergent and changing media forms focusing on media production, media texts, and media reception.
