Mothering Justice

Working with Mothers in Criminal and Social Justice Settings

About this book

Written by experts with first-hand experience, Mothering Justice is the first whole book to take motherhood as a focus for criminal and social justice interventions. Covering the spectrum of interventions it also makes a powerful case that in particular the imprisonment of mothers and its effect on their children is unnecessary, unjust, devastating and wasteful. 'To afford justice to these women, we must "do" justice to motherhood.''This book gives voice to mothers, many failed by multiple systems, by highlighting the importance of "understanding" motherhood it serves to inform positive intervention and effective practice in working with vulnerable women'- Jackie Russell, Women's Breakout; 'A challenging, interesting and deeply moving book containing the voices of women not often heard'- Rona Epstein, University of Coventry; 'Will add to and develop understanding in relation to working with mothers in criminal justice'- Vicky Pryce (from the Foreword); 'Should be taken very seriously by politicians, to do what needs to be done to prevent avoidable damage on future generations'- Lord David Ramsbotham.
