Please see the below call for chapter proposals for an upcoming Routledge book, Mass Incarceration in the 21st Century: Realities and Reflections (Edited by Drs. Addrain Conyers, Vanessa Lynn, and Margaret Leigey)
Colleagues,
Attached please find the full call for chapter proposals for Mass Incarceration in the 21st Century: Realities and Reflections, published by Routledge. In this book, we hope to combine current scholarship about the realities of mass incarceration with narratives from practitioners and individuals directly impacted by the practice (i.e. under correctional control, formerly incarcerated, loved ones, etc.).
Mass Incarceration is more than mass imprisonment, it is a culmination of policies and practices that benefit the privileged praxis and consequently disproportionally disenfranchise marginalized communities. It is an ideology, and every stage of the criminal justice system, from policy to release, contributes to this social and public health problem; therefore, in order to have a complete understanding of Mass Incarceration, it is essential to expand one’s examination beyond the department of corrections.
Chapter proposal submissions are invited from scholars, practitioners, and individuals directly impacted by mass incarceration (i.e. under correctional control, formerly incarcerated, loved ones, etc.).
All content must be original and not previously published. We welcome book chapter contributions focused (but not exclusively) on the following themes:
· Theories on Mass Incarceration
· Laws and Policies
· Life Inside
· Reentry
· Collateral Consequences
· Global Perspectives on Mass Incarceration
· Ending Mass Incarceration
