    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Offers the first sustained examination of the role and value of respect in policing and imprisonment in England and Wales, where the value is elusive but of persisting significance, and is a challenging corrective to current scholarship which has neglected the significance of respect for those we seek to police and punish.

    Long description:

    Respect and Criminal Justice offers the first sustained examination of 'respect' in criminal justice in England and Wales, where the value is elusive but of persisting significance. The book takes the form of a critique of the 'respect deficit' in policing and imprisonment. It is especially concerned with the ways in which both institutions are merely constrained and not characterised by respect. In the course of the critique, it emerges that they appeal to the word 'respect' but rarely and only superficially address the prior question of what it is to respect and be respected. Despite academic interest in the democratic design of these institutions in recent decades, the book concludes that respect is more akin to a slogan than a foundational value of criminal justice practice.

    This book blends philosophical, sociological and legal scholarship, and draws upon theoretical and empirical methodologies. In so doing, it succeeds on a num- ber of levels. It effectively reveals the vacuity of selected policies and official statements that lay claim to promoting respect in police and prison practices, thereby exposing a 'respect deficit' in these institutions. It provides a convincing critique of the moral limitations inherent in the dominance of instrumental objectives that flourish in an environment governed by managerialist imperatives. And it also makes a persuasive normative contribution to the debate about how state power should be exercised in policing and prison practices.
