Emotional Labour in Criminal Justice and Criminology This book is the first volume to explore criminal justice work and crimino- logical research through the lens of emotional labour. A concept first coined 30 years ago, emotional labour research seeks to explore the ways in which people manage their emotions in order to achieve the aims of their organ- isations, and understand the impact of this type of work 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 addi- tion 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 cer- tain 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. Jake Phillips is a Reader in Criminology at Sheffield Hallam University. His research is primarily focused on the intersection between policy and practice in the field of probation and community sanctions. In recent years, he has conducted research on the emotional labour of probation practice, people who die whilst under probation supervision and the impact of inspection and regulation on probation policy and practice. Chalen Westaby is a Senior Lecturer in Law at Sheffield Hallam University. She has published primarily in the field of emotional labour. Her empirical qualitative research has focused on legal professionals, law students and most recently, probation officers and criminological researchers. She has also un- dertaken research into emotion in the legal profession, particularly focusing on empathy and its role within professional practice. Andrew Fowler is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Sheffield Hallam University. As a former probation officer and practice tutor assessor, he also teaches on the Professional Qualification in Probation and the undergraduate criminology programme. He has published work centring on emotional la- bour in probation practice. Andrew is currently undertaking research into the Skills for Effective Engagement Development Supervision model (SEEDS) for Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). Jaime Waters is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Fellow of the Shef- field Institute for Policy Studies at Sheffield Hallam University. Her main research interests include illegal drug use, gambling and emotional labour. She is co-author of Illegal Drug Use through the Lifecourse and Mixed Methods in Criminology (both with Routledge), and editor of the special issue ‘Entering the field of criminological research’ in the British Journal of Community Justice. The Editors of Emotional Labour in Criminal Justice and Criminology are to be congratulated for bringing together an important and innovative collection of essays that will give all researchers conducting empirical studies in crim- inology pause for thought about their own emotional labour, as well as that performed by professionals in the criminal justice sector. Foregrounding cul- ture, context and conflict, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the ethical and emotional dimensions of qualitative methodologies and criminal justice. — Yvonne Jewkes, Professor of Criminology, University of Bath Emotional Labour in Criminal Justice and Criminology brings the topic of emotion work to a range of professions across the criminal justice spectrum. Focussed and in-depth studies deepen our understanding of the multi-faceted expe- riences, displays and management of emotion in criminal justice work. The book provides criminal justice practitioners, scholars and policy makers with rigorous empirical evidence on the inter-personal and organisational con- texts of emotional labour. — Sharyn Roach Anleu, Matthew Flinders Distinguished Professor, Flinders University Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice The Development of Transnational Policing Past, present and future Edited by John L.M.
