Phil Scraton
Women’s imprisonment and the case for abolition
In 2007, the Corston Report recommended a far-reaching, radical, ‘women-centred’ approach to women’s imprisonment in England and Wales. It suggested a ‘fundamental re-thinking’ about how services to support women in conflict with the law are delivered in custody and in the community, recommending the development and implementation of a decarceration strategy. This argued for appropriate treatment programmes in the community, reserving prison for …
The Incarceration of Women
This unique book provides a rare insight into the debilitating impact of regimes that fail to respond to the complex and gender specific needs of women behind bars. Exploring the marginalization, ment
Childhood in transition
Northern Ireland is in the early stages of transition from conflict, but progress is regularly affected by political and public discontent. A divided landscape, segregated and under-resourced communities are enduring legacies of ‘the Conflict’. Yet the political will to tackle social and community division, consult with and support communities has been lacking. Grounded in six communities most affected by poverty and the Conflict this paper illus…
Violence in the Lives of Children and Youth in “Post-Conflict” Northern Ireland
While Northern Ireland experiences relative peace and political stability, its violent past is normalized in murals and commemorations, the language and posturing of opposition politics, segregated communities and social life. In "post-conflict" Northern Ireland, children and youth disproportionately experience paramilitary-style attacks and routine sectarian violence. The violence of poverty and restricted opportunities within communities debili…
The Incarceration of Women
Drawing on a decade's worth of research inside prisons in Northern Ireland, Moore and Scraton integrate in-depth interviews, focus groups, regime observation and documentary analysis to examine issues of equality, disciplines, mental health, self-harm, abuse and suicide. This independent primary research engages in controversies regarding the deaths of women in custody; a hunger strike concerning the status of politically affiliated women prisone…
The legacy of Hillsborough
In April 1989, ninety-six men, women and children, supporters of Liverpool Football Club, died in a severe crush at an FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield. Hundreds were injured and thousands traumatised. Within hours, the causes and circumstances of the disaster were contested. While a judicial inquiry found serious institutional failures in the policing and management of the capacity crowd, no criminal prosecutions resulted, an…
Young People, Conflict and Regulation
Set against the progress claimed since the 1998 G ood F riday A greement, this article reflects the reality of life for children and young people as they negotiate the aftermath of the Conflict in Northern Ireland. Their experiences of informal and formal policing, community and S tate control, demonstrate the need to understand the lasting impacts of the Conflict when developing policies and practices affecting their lives. At a crucial defining…
From Conflict to Peace? The Rights Abuses of Women and Girls in Prison in Northern Ireland
This article is based on primary research conducted by the authors in Northern Ireland in the Mourne House women's unit at Maghaberry Prison in 2004 and in Ash House women's prison unit in Hydebank Wood Young Offender Centre from 2005–2006. It explores the imprisonment of women in prison in the context of a society slowly and unevenly emerging from violent conflict and against a backdrop of the global rise of women's imprisonment over the past tw…

Conflict, Regulation and Marginalisation in the North of Ireland
Based on primary research and consultations conducted over the last four years in the north of Ireland, this article considers the lives and experiences of children and young people in communities where the legacy of conflict and economic deprivation are most marked. It explores the reality of differential policing in communities where paramilitaries filled the policing deficit during the Conflict through informal ‘justice’ and punishment beating…

Extensive interviews with women place their experiences and reflections at the heart of the analysis and are supported by full observational access to the daily routines in operation at the Mourne House Unit at Maghaberry Prison. Of particular concern are …

In the Full Glare of English Politics
Taking Foucault’s construction of ‘regimes of truth’ in advanced democratic societies as its starting point, this article reflects on three decades of formal investigation and public inquiry in the North of Ireland. Focusing particularly on the use and abuse of state power, it considers the reproduction of hegemonic and counter-hegemonic discourses and the processes through which they gain or are denied legitimacy. The Bloody Sunday Inquiry (BSI)…

In 1993 Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were found guilty of the abduction and murder of two‐year‐old James Bulger. Aged ten at the time of the offence, the children were tried in an adult court before a judge and jury amidst a blaze of publicity. They were named by the trial judge and sentenced to detention at Her Majesty's Pleasure [HMp]. The Home Secretary set a minimum tariff of fifteen years imprisonment. In December 1999 the European Court…
Policing with Contempt
The Hillsborough disaster happened at a premier United Kingdom soccer stadium in April 1989 claiming the lives of ninety‐six men, women, and children. Over the next decade there followed a Home Office inquiry, a criminal investigation, compensation hearings as far as the House of Lords, the longest inquests in recent history, a judicial review, a judicial scrutiny, and private prosecutions. Media coverage has remained intense and there has been p…

If You Want a Riot, Change the Law
On 16 May 1985 Leon Brittan, then Home Secretary, announced the official release of the government's White Paper: Review of Public Order Law.2 His statement to the House of Commons clearly directed the White Paper's proposals towards criminal offences committed daily on the picket-line3 during the coal dispute. On the day of its release two striking miners were sentenced to life imprisonment. They were found guilty of the murder of a taxi-driver,…
