Debra Guthmann, Gabriel Lomas, and Damara Goff Paris are pleased to bring you this collection of writings, DEAF PEOPLE IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM: SELECTED TOPICS IN ADVOCACY, INCARCERATION, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE.
Their goal is to educate more people on this often-neglected topic. The concept for this book evolved because of the urgent need to have materials available that help professionals who work in a wide range of settings better understand the criminal justice experience for deaf individuals.
To address the lack of scholarly material on this topic, the editors brought together an interdisciplinary group of authors to share their professional and personal experiences related to deaf people and the criminal justice system. They have included attorneys, clinicians, interpreters, administrators, researchers, and advocates in an effort to provide the reader a broader perspective regarding this largely unexplored topic.
Strategic changes in how deaf people are treated in the criminal justice system are needed to help address issues that have occurred with deaf people. To illustrate key points and critical issues, the authors throughout the book used a combination of research, clinical, anecdotal, and legal case examples. The book is divided into three sections which include: 1. Research and Evaluation, 2. Theory, Practice, and Specialized Services, and 3. Legal Aspects.
Whatever your area of interest, we hope that you will find the materials in these pages useful in understanding deaf people and the criminal justice system.
