A brief history of the International Journal of Discrimination and the Law

The rationale of the journal is discussed, specifically why it was considered that this journal was needed and its valuable contribution to scholarship. The broad scope of the journal in terms of the dimensions of discrimination and the wide range of jurisdictions covered mad…
Feasibility and acceptability of using biometric fingerprinting to track migrations and support retention in HIV prevention research in fishing population in East Africa
Use of fingerprinting in fishing populations is feasible and acceptable. It is possible to track this mobile population for clinical trials or health services using this technology since most movements could be traced within and between villages
Not just another brick in the wall? Protecting prisoners' right to education
Measuring and mapping displacement
Debates concerning residential population displacement in the context of gentrification remain vociferous, but are hampered by a lack of empirical evidence of the extent of the displacement occurring. The lack of quantitative evidence on gentrification-induced displacement and the difficulties in collecting it has long hampered the fight against it. Based on a systematic review of quantitative studies of the displacement associated with gentrific…

Not so welcome here? Modelling the impact of ethnic in-movers on the length of stay of home-owners in micro-neighbourhoods
This paper considers the length of stay of home-owners with white British names in the 40% most-deprived census areas of Glasgow, Scotland. We estimate the impact of ethnically ‘other’ name-group inflows through property purchases at the micro-neighbourhood level. We use a novel longitudinal data set, constructed from the population of home-buyers recorded in all property transaction records from 2003 to 2014, from which we impute ethnicity using…
The Politics of the Prison and the Prisoner
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in the role of the prison as a source of political ideas and site of political engagement, as well as in the prisoner’s quest for citizenship. The rising number of prisoners has increased fiscal burdens, which has meant that imprisonment has become a more important political issue. There is also greater interest in the prison as a site of political activism and in the generation of radical p…

Silence and Confessions
This book examines the treatment of suspects in interrogation and explores issues surrounding the right to silence. Employing a socio-legal approach, it draws from empirical research in the social sci
Sentencing and Punishment
Fully reworked, restructured, and updated, and incorporating changes following the 2019 general election; this fifth edition is the essential guide for anyone studying sentencing and punishment as part of a law or criminology course
Prisoners' Rights
Prisoners’ Rights: Principles and Practice considers prisoners’ rights from socio-legal and philosophical perspectives, and assesses the advantages and problems of a rights-based approach to imprisonment. At a time of record levels of imprisonment and projected future expansion of the prison population, this work is timely. The discussion in this book is not confined to a formal legal analysis, although it does include discussion of the developin…
Constructing Citizenship
This article examines the impact of prisoners' rights in the UK and the US in relation to the shift in prisoners' status from a state of social and civil death towards a recognition of their citizenship that is grounded in social inclusion. It argues that the concept of citizenship can be reconstructed to include prisoners and that a rights‐based approach is crucial in moving the prisoner from the status of a non‐person, who is socially dead, tow…
Electing the Electorate
The issue of prisoner disenfranchisement is examined in the light of the recent decision of the European Court of Human Rights in Hirst v UK. It is argued that the arguments in favour of denying prisoners the right to vote lack plausibility. Prisoner disenfranchisement cannot be coherently defended on the justifications of punishment or on the grounds of risk. On the contrary, matters of principle and policy considerations favour the re-enfranchi…
Feminist Perspectives on the Human Rights Act
Punishing Sex Offenders
This paper considers whether recent legislation increasing the surveillance and control of sex offenders constitutes discrimination. Recent provisions, including the Sex Offenders Act 1997, the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 are reviewed. The question of whether sex offenders have been unfairly selected for special treatment is considered as well as the issue of whether the provisions are rightly …
