Acknowledgements Th e editors would like to thank all of the contributors; given competing priorities and deadlines we are truly grateful for having been on the ‘to- do list’ of so many busy people and for the excellent chapters produced by them all for this book. Th anks also to Palgrave Macmillan, especially Julia Willan who was with us from the beginning, Harriet Barker and, last but not least, Dominic Walker who took over the baton for the fi nal leg and was especially patient. Th e impetus for this book came out of a need for teaching material on this topic, as well as through discussions with other academics at conferences about religion being ‘criminology’s forgotten variable’. At a time when religion is under the media spotlight for religiously motivated hate crimes, terrorism and child abuse, provid- ing the platform for academic debate was a personal mission for both of us—we hope this book does this. vii Contents 1 Introduction: Religion, Faith and Crime in Context 1 Kim Sadique and Perry Stanislas Part I Historical and Th eoretical Context 19 2 Th e Eff ect of Religion on Crime and Deviancy: Hellfi re in the Twenty-First Century 21 Kim Sadique 3 Is Lex Talionis ‘Caput’ in a Modern CJS?: Th e Religio-Cultural Context of Punishment 45 Kim Sadique 4 Disability and Religious Cosmologies: A New Interpretation of Disablist Hate 67 Alan Roulstone ix
