Crime, Justice and the Media, Edited by Nic Groombridge

This reader focusses on the media, crime and criminal justice. This is a growing area of academic and practitioner concern. For some the concern is whether the media has effects that cause crime or influences criminal justice. These are not necessarily capable of resolution but an enormous amount of inter-disciplinary exploratory work has opened up previously closed or unconsidered areas for investigation. Such work can be useful in its own right but also offers ways to introduce students and the general public to criminological and socio-legal topics and concepts.

Howard Journal Online Student Reader, Edited by Nic Groombridge and James Treadwell

In October 1921 the newly combined Howard Association and the Penal Reform League published the first volume of the Howard Journal (now the Howard Journal of Criminal Justice). It contained many small articles and news items which may seem dated now, but many of the issues are regrettably still with us. This is the first of a series of virtual readers that will explore the journal's archive, with future editions planned which will focus on specific issues such as Drugs; Victims; Race/ethnicity & gender; history and media/culture. It was decided that the first Special Online Journal should be aimed at students of criminology and criminal justice (alongside those students who study crime as part of courses in Law, Psychology, Sociology and other related disciplines) to encourage students to engage with the topic.
