Anna Eriksson

This book aims to more fully understand the interaction between the prison environment, staff, and prisoners in different penal settings, and secondly, to explore how the nature and quality of such interactions mediate social distance and processes of Othering in the two national contexts. This comparative lens illuminates the variables and processes that underpin prison culture, environment and practice in both places, through interviews with 240 prisoners and staff across 14 prisons in Australia and Norway. By examining the larger conceptual framework of Nordic Exceptionalism and Anglophone Excess through narratives emerging from staff and prisoners in Australia and Norway, Anna Eriksson offers significant insight into prison practice in each of those countries. Exploring themes including staff training, communication between prisoners and prison staff, and how prison work is viewed in both countries, Eriksson also looks at the rapid increase in the use of technology in prisons and how it might impact the management of security, the possibilities of an erosion of proximity and the ramifications of that within the different penal cultures.

Eller om smala fönsterbrädor, konsten att promenera och naturlig mindfulness. Kolla sen om du är citytant eller lanttant i det fiffiga snabbtestet. Släpp loss och gör tant-i-balans-övningarna. Och få svar på var tanten möter kärleken nuförtiden.Låt din inre tant komma ut ur garderoben. Att bli tant är nämligen en bonus – som ett skönt sviktande fotinlägg som får din promenad att bli så mycket härligare. Filosofisk och inkännande fungerar Tant i balans på samma sätt som en stor ask självhjälpschoklad."I Tant i balans uppmanas tanten till att göra det som tanten mår bra av som till exempel att tillverka egen bodyscrub av kaffesump, att se på saker ur ett annat perspektiv (dammråttaperspektivet) och att äta rätt och få en god nattsömn. Att anordna tantretreat med trasmatteyoga står också på listan till att nå mindfulness. Perfekt läsning för en tant mitt i livet." BTJ

Why do some modern societies punish their offenders differently to others? Why are some more punitive and others more tolerant in their approach to offending and how can these differences be explained? Based on extensive historical analysis and fieldwork in the penal systems of England, Australia and New Zealand on the one hand and Finland, Norway and Sweden on the other, this book seeks to answer these questions. The book argues that the penal differences that currently exist between these two clusters of societies emanate from their early nineteenth-century social arrangements, when the Anglophone societies were dominated by exclusionary value systems that contrasted with the more inclusionary values of the Nordic countries. The development of their penal programmes over this two hundred year period, including the much earlier demise of the death penalty in the Nordic countries and significant differences between the respective prison rates and prison conditions of the two clusters, reflects the continuing influence of these values. Indeed, in the early 21st century these differences have become even more pronounced. John Pratt and Anna Eriksson offer a unique contribution to this topic of growing importance: comparative research in the history and sociology of punishment. This book will be of interest to those studying criminology, sociology, punishment, prison and penal policy, as well as professionals working in prisons or in the area of penal policy across the six societies that feature in the book.

This book provides a unique account of the high-profile community-based restorative justice projects in the Republican and Loyalist communities that have emerged with the ending of the conflict in Northern Ireland. Unprecedented new partnerships between Republican communities and the Police Service of Northern Ireland have developed, and former IRA and UVF combatants and political ex prisoners have been amongst those involved. Community restorative justice projects have been central to these groundbreaking changes, acting as both facilitator and transformer. Based on an extensive range of interviews with key players in this process, many of them former combatants, and unique access to the different community projects this books tells a fascinating story. At the same time this book explores the wider implications for restorative justice internationally, highlighting the important lessons for partnerships between police and community in other jurisdictions, particularly in the high-crime alienated neighbourhoods which exist in most western societies, as well as transitional ones. It also offers a critical analysis of the roles of both community and state and the tensions around the ownership of justice, and a critical, unromanticized assessment of the role of restorative justice in the community.
