Gendered Justice
Gendered Justice seeks to enhance knowledge and practice in relation to criminalised women and anyone affected by their imprisonment. It calls for compassionate trauma-informed, and gender-specific approaches. As editor Dr Lucy Baldwin explains, ‘How society engages with women coming into contact with the Criminal Justice System can have a profound and lasting effect on their lives, so it is important to ensure that the impact is an informed and positive one’. In chapters by experts from diverse backgrounds, the book examines a carefully selected mix of developments including in topical areas such as women’s rights, help and support, stigma, domestic abuse, sentencing, racism, disadvan...
Grandmothers and Grandmothering: Creative and Critical Contemplations in Honour of our Women Elders
Today, more and more grandmothers around the world are taking on varied responsibilities and many roles, sometimes concurrently. Consequently, grandmothers continue to play, as in the past, an influential role not only in the lives of their grandchildren, but also in our communities and in society more broadly. Grandmothers and Grandmothering: Creative and Critical Contemplations in Honour of our Women Elders, as the title suggests, seeks to pay homage to our grandmothers and their contributions to society. As well, it aims to explore the textured and complex phenomena of grandmothering from a range of disciplines and cultural perspectives. Our hope is that this collection challenges preconceived notions of what it means to be a grandmother and provides insight into the multifaceted nature of grandmothering.

Contemporary Research and Analysis on the Children of Prisoners
In March 2017, researchers, advocates and NGOs from twelve countries came together in Rotorua, New Zealand, for the first conference of the International Coalition for the children of incarcerated parents. The Coalition had been formed the previous year to recognise that similar issues faced the children of prisoners all over the world. From the first arrest until release from prison, the system is stacked against the child. Justice systems are all about punishing individuals, and are, as one conference speaker noted, ‘child blind’. The papers in this collection cover many of the themes in the wider literature on the children of prisoners. Advocacy themes include moving towards child-fri...
Jonah of Olympic
Waitress Jonah didn’t come home one night after a shift at Pizza Time. She wasn’t there the next morning. Or the next. The Babylon Police Department think Jonah is a runaway, but her husband Charlie knows better. He’s frustrated with a lack of progress and running desperately low on resources when he hires private investigator, Mercedes Masterson, to find his beloved wife. Mercedes takes on the missing person's case while struggling with her own personal identity — being a closeted bisexual woman. Her investigation leads her to an old barber shop which has been converted into a small church called Holy Ghost Fire Temple. By appearances, it’s an intimate community of members who wan...
