Emily Gray Books

Examining the influence of right-wing political ideology, this book delves into its effects on crime, the criminal justice system, and societal views on punishment in Britain. It offers valuable insights for criminologists, political philosophers, and social theorists, making it a crucial resource for understanding the intersection of politics and justice.

Focusing on the concept of political legacies, this book seeks to clarify and operationalize the term for better understanding and research. It defines legacies as remnants of the past influencing the present, emphasizing their dual nature as causal and counter-factual claims. The authors advocate for a multi-dimensional approach to assess political legacies, addressing theoretical, analytical, and methodological issues. The discussion is enriched by examples from Thatcherism, illustrating how these concepts can be applied to existing literature.
