Recenzje

The Editors of Emotional Labour in Criminal Justice and Criminology are to be congratulated for bringing together an important and innovative collection of essays that will give all researchers conducting empirical studies in criminology pause for thought about their own emotional labour, as well as that performed by professionals in the criminal justice sector. Foregrounding culture, context and conflict, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the ethical and emotional dimensions of qualitative methodologies and criminal justice.

Yvonne Jewkes, Professor of Criminology, University of Bath

Emotional Labour in Criminal Justice and Criminology brings the topic of emotion work to a range of professions across the criminal justice spectrum. Focussed and in-depth studies deepen our understanding of the multi-faceted experiences, displays and management of emotion in criminal justice work. The book provides criminal justice practitioners, scholars and policy makers with rigorous empirical evidence on the inter-personal and organisational contexts of emotional labour.
