cjm 83: Myths and criminal justice

Guest editor Rebecca Roberts and the contributors to the themed section unpack criminal justice myths and the misrepresentations that occur in popular debate.

Authors, including Tim Hope, Charlotte Weinberg and Megan O'Neill, seek to challenge what `crime' is and who the `criminals' are in a collection of challenging articles.

The topical and comment sections cover a range of contemporary issues including violence and surveillance in mental health wards, immigration detention in Northern Ireland and protecting endangered species, and debating whether prisoners should work a 40-hour week with minimum wage.
