This book is the first volume to explore criminal justice work and criminological research through the lens of emotional labour. A concept first coined 30 years ago, emotional labour seeks to explore the ways in which people manage their emotions in order to achieve the aims of their organisations, and the subsequent impact of this is on workers and service users. The chapters in this edited collection explore work in a wide range of criminal justice institutions as well as the penal voluntary sector. In addition to literature review chapters which consolidate what we already know, this book includes case study chapters which extend our knowledge of how emotional labour is performed in specific contexts, and in relation to certain types of work. Emotional Labour in Criminal Justice and Criminology covers topics such as prisoners who die from natural causes in prison, to the work of independent domestic violence advisors and the use of emotion by death penalty lawyers in the US. An accessible and compelling read, this book presents ground-breaking qualitative and quantitative research which will be critical to criminologists, criminal justice practitioners, students of criminology and academics in the fields of social policy and public service.

Emotional Labour in Criminal Justice and Criminology

After the children of Israel came into the Promised Land, they all but lost their faith and had almost completely abandoned their Lord. But one young man could hold the answers to the nation's redemption. Gideon was living an unremarkable life, working on his family's farm and hiding from the violent Midianite invaders threatening his homeland. But when he is plucked from obscurity and told by God that he has been chosen as the deliverer of his people, he is forced to establish his priorities and solidify his faith. Through many struggles, tests, and trials, Gideon finds his heart full of God's love and wisdom and takes on the task of assembling an army to defeat the cruel intruders. But as numbers dwindle and the unfaithful desert the field, the battle looks impossible to win. Can Gideon's Three Hundred face the massive Midianite army and succeed? Join author Jake Phillips on this incredible journey of tested faith and overcoming the odds, and find out what it means to live out a miracle.
