The origins of the Jimmy Savile scandal
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the origins of the Jimmy Savile Scandal in which the former BBC entertainer was accused of a series of sexual offences after his death in 2011. The case has had a massive impact on UK policing and criminal justice policy and on care work, with implications for due process and public expenditure in responding to reports of sexual abuse. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws on an Economic and S…
Wrongful Allegations of Sexual and Child Abuse
Child sexual abuse, rape and other abuse against vulnerable populations attract outrage around the world. It is right that efforts have been redoubled to prevent and intervene against them, but where so much reliance is placed on verbal evidence, mistakes can be made either way. Wrongful Allegations of Sexual and Child Abuse brings together contributions by academics and experts from different disciplinary backgrounds to fill a gap in the literat…

Where Next For Criminal Justice
Successive governments have promised to reform criminal justice in England and Wales, and to make it more efficient and more effective in preventing and reducing crime. They have introduced a continuous series of legislative and administrative reforms and massive increases in expenditure. And yet — especially following the August 2011 riots — there is still a recurring sense of uncertainty about the direction that any further reforms should take.…

Cullompton : Willan ( 2010 ) 318pp . £29.50pb ISBN 078-1-84392-718-1 A recent cartoon depicts someone barred from an anger management class because she is too angry; in another version an irate group leader is pushing out the student. Together these help convey the twofold nature of the concept of ‘readiness’ that is central to this book: intrapersonal (such as problem awareness, emotional state, cognitive ability, motivation to get help or chang…
The `Chicken and Egg' of Subjective and Social Factors in Desistance from Crime
It is now widely acknowledged that progression from persistent offending to desistance from crime is the outcome of a complex interaction between subjective/ agency factors and social/environmental factors. A methodological challenge for desistance researchers is to unravel the differential impacts of these internal and external factors and the sequence in which they come into play. Towards this, the present investigation draws on a prospective s…
The kindness of prisoners
This article explores the notion of so-called ‘strengths-based’ offender reintegration for prisoners returning to the community. First, we briefly explore the normative and empirical theory underlying this approach. Next, we present evidence from a case study the authors have undertaken on a particularly interesting example of strengths-based resettlement in action. It illustrates the tensions that occur when risk-based policies collide with stre…
The place of the officer-offender relationship in assisting offenders to desist from crime
For decades, the relationship between the officer and offender (variously labelled as the ‘casework relationship’, the ‘supervisory relationship’ or ‘one-to-one work’) was the main channel for probation service interventions. In the modernized probation service in England and Wales, this relationship element has been marginalized, on a policy level at least, by accredited groupwork programmes and case management approaches involving referrals to …
So ‘Prison Works’, Does It? The Criminal Careers of 130 Men Released from Prison under Home Secretary, Michael Howard
A 1992 study, The Dynamics of Recidivism, was cited by the Home Secretary of the Conservative government during the 1990s to support the political doctrine that ‘prison works’. This claim drew on qualitative data from pre‐ and post‐prison interviews of 130 male offenders to uphold a narrow rational choice perspective that emphasised the perceived ‘costs’ of imprisonment to the offender. A ten‐year reconviction study was carried out as a follow‐up…
