      abstract = {This textbook offers a fresh conceptual approach to  understanding the intersections of crime, criminal justice  and family life. In doing so, it proposes a brand new  sub-discipline of Criminology that places the family at the  heart of its analysis, offering a groundbreaking approach  to the study of crime and deviance. Adopting an  interdisciplinary perspective, this introductory text  explores topics from across the spectrum of criminological  scholarship, including youth justice, prisons, organized  crime, family violence and homicide, and victimology. By  drawing together these distinct topics and identifying and  discussing their familial connections, this book argues for  the importance of family life in the theory and practice of  crime and justice. Key questions discussed throughout the  text include: How does the criminal justice system engage  with families across different contexts? In what ways do  crime and criminal justice processes impact on family life?  In what ways can families transform the criminal justice  system for the betterment of all? This book challenges  commonly-held and simplistic assumptions about what the  family is in relation to crime and justice and, by doing  so, engages in deeper debates about human rights, social  justice and the role of the state in relation to families  and crime. It includes pedagogic features including  conceptual toolboxes, questions for reflection, textboxes,  a glossary and interviews with practitioners.},
