Women’s imprisonment and the case for abolition: Critical Reflections on Corston Ten Years On
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 …

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.

Unlocking a Locked‐down Regime: The Role of Penal Policy and Administration in N orthern I reland and the Challenges of Change
The aim of this article is to examine the impact of the Conflict on the development and character of the prison system in Northern Ireland. It traces the use of imprisonment to repress challenges to the legitimacy of the State, and the ways in which prisoners and communities have resisted oppressive penal policies. Evidence is presented that notwithstanding the peace process and early release of most politically‐motivated prisoners, regimes withi…
From Conflict to Peace? The Rights Abuses of Women and Girls in Prison in Northern Ireland

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…

International lessons for the transformation of policing in Northern Ireland
The central thesis of this article is that policing in Northern Ireland requires radical change on a number of levels, and that basic principles of human rights and accountability provide the basis for this transformation. The tendency to view policing through a lens of communalism has turned policing into a political football, yet it would benefit Northern Ireland society as a whole to have accountable, representative and fair policing. Based on…
The Relationship Between Attitudes: Homophobia and Sexism Among Social Work Students
This article reports on a study of the relationship between students' attitudes toward women and toward gay men and lesbians and changes in those attitudes during social work courses at two universities. The study found a significant relationship between students' levels of homophobia and sexism. The relationship was stronger for female students than for male students and varied by race and aca demic major. The article also discusses the implicat…
Policing a Divided Society
Issues concerning policing policies, structures and practices — and the administration of justice in general — have been central to the polarisation of Northern Irish society since the establishment of the state, and they continue to divide the two communities. On the one hand, most unionists see the various institutional arrangements and legislative framework for the maintenance of law and order as essential to the preservation of the constituti…
