Prisoners' Families
Forty years ago, when the first systematic study of prisoners' families was published (Morris 1965 Morris, P. 1965. Prisoners and their Families, London: Allen & Unwin. [Google Scholar]), the average daily prison population stood at 30,421. The figure now exceeds 80,000. Despite the dramatic increase in their numbers, prisoners' families largely remain forgotten victims. Financial difficulties, emotional issues and prison visiting are particular …
The Gambling Act 2005
The Act marks a fundamental shift from legislative to market control of gambling. While plans for Las Vegas style casinos and internet gambling sites in Britain have suffered setbacks, restrictions on the availability, advertising and stimulation of demand for gambling, enshrined in the Gaming Act 1968, have been abandoned. In their place, a new regulatory body, the Gambling Commission, has been established to take primary responsibility for ensu…
The Licensing Act 2003

Why Support Prisoners' Family‐Tie Groups? 1
A tem of imprisonment affects not only the person remanded or sentenced. The inmate's family and dependants are all too often the ones who suffer most. After decades of neglect the last five years have seen the generation of substantial interest in the wellbeing of prisoners' families. Positive reforms have resulted, but much remains to be done
Problems of Long Term Imprisonment
Prison Disciplinary Hearings
There have been two important recent developments affecting the prison disciplinary system. First, the courts have intervened by way of judicial review in the matter of legal representation at adjudications and secondly, the Prior Committee has presented a much praised blueprint for a complete overhaul of the prison disciplinary system. Unfortunately, the intervention of the courts has made little impact in practice and the Prior Committee recomm…
Drinking, Driving, and the Legal Profession1
Investigation of the effectiveness of the criminal law as a method of controlling the drinking driver has tended to concentrate on simple deterrence theory (fear of apprehension and severity of punishment). Wider issues of stigma, informal sanctions and the instrumental expressive function of the law have been subjected to little scrutiny. This article makes a preliminary exploration of these areas and starts to assess the ramifications for the e…
