The Penal Crisis and the Clapham Omnibus
Questions and Answers in Restorative Justice
~ David J Cornwell
|
|
Scheduled for early 2009: the much awaited concluding part of David J Cornwell’s trilogy on Restorative Justice (see also, Criminal Punishment and Restorative Justice and Doing Justice Better).
Designed for a wide readership, this book looks at the problems that have led to the penal crisis. It argues that informed media and public opinion - including much chatter on the Clapham omnibus - has finally ‘turned the corner’ and that the time is ripe for a concerted pragmatic U-turn in criminal justice policy-making based increasingly on well-understood Restorative Justice principles.
The Penal Crisis and the Clapham Omnibus poses questions and tries to give straightforward answers to matters that commonly arise in discussions about Restorative Justice and argues that the idea of resistance from the public to more enlightened approaches to ‘doing justice’ is misplaced.
Author
David Cornwell was educated at Christ’s Hospital School, Horsham, the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, and York University. After more than 20 years military service he became a prison governor, leaving HM Prison Service in 1997 for the private sector with Group 4 Prison and Court Services. He has since worked as consultant operations adviser to GSL’s Mangaung Correctional Centre in Bloemfontein, Republic of South Africa (during the building, commissioning and initial operation of a 3,000 bed maximum security facility in the Free State Province). He was for several years a tutor at HM Prison Service College, Wakefield UK; and has published various articles and papers on RJ. He is a member of the International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) and continues to act as a consultant criminologist.
