{"product_id":"legitimacy-and-criminal-justice-9780198701996","title":"Legitimacy and Criminal Justice","description":"Based on an interdisciplinary conference held at the University of Cambridge in May 2012, \u003cem\u003eLegitimacy and Criminal Justice: An International Exploration \u003c\/em\u003ebrings together internationally renowned scholars from a range of disciplines including criminology, international relations, sociology, and political science to examine the meaning of legitimacy and advance its theoretical understanding within the context of criminal justice. In policy terms, the conference afforded a timely opportunity for criminal justice senior managers and researchers to discuss the practical applications and implications of legitimacy for policing and prisons. This resulting volume aims to: advance conceptual understanding of legitimacy in the contexts of policing and criminal justice; to develop a better understanding of the implications of analyses of legitimacy for the practical contexts of policing, prisons and criminal justice; and to recognise the growing number of contexts in which criminal justice personnel encounter ethnically and religiously diverse communities, such as the acute dilemmas for legitimate authority posed by perceived terrorist threats. Attention is also devoted to the growing importance of international organisations in relation to legitimacy, both in its international and domestic manifestations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume includes 16 substantial new contributions to this important field from leading political and theoretical scholars in the field, along with the results of several recent empirical studies. Together they constitute an unprecedented synthesis of disparate but leading thinkers in the growing field of legitimacy scholarship and should be of value to social scientists across different disciplines and to criminal justice practitioners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Justice Tankebe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198701996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJustice Tankebe, \u003cem\u003eLecturer in Criminology, Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge\u003c\/em\u003e, Alison Liebling, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, and Director of the Prisons Research Centre, Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJustice Tankebe is University Lecturer in Criminology at the Cambridge University Institute of Criminology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlison Liebling is Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Director of the Prisons Research Centre at the Cambridge University Institute of Criminology, and an editor of the \u003cem\u003eClarendon Studies in Criminology\u003c\/em\u003e Series. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":41100152668275,"sku":"9.7802E+12","price":206.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_9b3d2ac4-4e88-4231-ae71-cd8bf51603d9.jpg?v=1700142456","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/legitimacy-and-criminal-justice-9780198701996","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
