Talking Criminal Justice: Language and the Just Society: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Talking Criminal Justice: Language and the Just Society" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The words we use to talk about justice have an enormous impact on our everyday lives. As the first in-depth, ethnographic study of language, Talking Criminal Justice examines the speech of moral entrepreneurs to illustrate how our justice language encourages social control and punishment.

This book highlights how public discourse leaders (from both conservative and liberal sides) guide us toward justice solutions that do not align with our collectively professed value of equal justice for all through their language habits. This contextualized study of our justice language demonstrates the concealment of intentions with clever language use which mask justice ideologies that differ greatly from our widely espoused justice values.

By the evidence of our own words Talking Criminal Justice shows that we consistently permit and encourage the construction of people in ways which attribute motives that elicit and empower social control and punishment responses, and that make punitive public policy options acceptable.This book will be of interest to academics, students and professionals concerned with social and criminal justice, language, rhetoric and critical criminology.

Michael Coyle is a code breaker. In this book he reminds us that our discussions of crime and criminal justiceeven our own understandings of fairness and social justice tend to occur only in code. With his carefully situated ethnographies of criminal justice language, Michael Coyle builds [a] bridge across a variety of locationsthe everyday language of politicians and criminal justice practitioners, the premeditated language of press conference and public reports, the perceptions proffered through public discourseand so pushes ahead the project of cultural criminology.

Jeff Ferrell, Professor of Sociology, Texas Christian University, USA, and Visiting Professor of Criminology at the University of Kent, UK

This path-breaking book offers an innovative way of understanding justice discourse in the current political economic era. As Coyle reminds us, words do matter and language has a major impact on societal reactions to crime. Certainly, no progressive criminology library is complete without Talking Criminal Justice.

Walter S. DeKeseredy, Professor of Criminology, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada

By using the tools of ethnography and cultural criminology to decode the language of moral entrepreneurs and political operatives that inform policies of social control and punishment in the United States, Michael Coyle provides a tour de force in the social construction and reproduction of justice in everyday theory and practice. This book should be required reading for academics and students of media and crime justice alike.

Gregg Barak, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Eastern Michigan University, USA

Michael J. Coyle provides a model for empirically-informed inquiry into the meaning, construction, and consequences of employing the concept justice, including the oft used victim. This paradigm shifting analysis affirms the value of critical qualitative media analysis for examining burning theoretical and practical issues. I welcome this tour de force.

David L. Altheide, Emeritus Regents Professor, Arizona State University, USA

Michael Coyle makes a plain and compelling case that talking about getting tough on crime implies support for criminal justice that is inherently unjust. You can't read this book without watching the way you talk about crime and justice and noticing how others do. That's something even we who call ourselves critical criminologists all too often overlook.

Hal Pepinsky, Professor Emeritus, Indiana University, USA

Talking Criminal Justice

By the evidence of our own words Talking Criminal Justice shows that we consistently permit and encourage the construction of people in ways which attribute motives that elicit and empower social control and punishment responses, and that make punitive public policy options acceptable. This book will be of interest to academics, students and professionals concerned with social and criminal justice, language, rhetoric and critical criminology.

To my family:

To my father who taught me that we are both hindered by and greater than pain and misfortune.

To my mothers who taught me that both error and reason lead to compassion.

To my partner, sisters and nieces who continuously teach me that the most important lesson and gift is love.

To my four-legged brother who taught me relatedness and responsibility.

To all these for teaching me that anger and desire for retribution have no limit and that moving through them each time matters.

Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society. It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection. The fact of the matter is that the real world is to a large extent unconsciously built up on the language habits of the group ... We see and hear and otherwise experience very largely as we do because the language habits of our community predispose certain choices of interpretation.
