He views their 'Tough on Crime and Tough on the Causes of Crime' slogan as a prelude to authoritarian regression and argues the Government is hell bent on building more and more prisons and condemning more and more convicted people to gaol sentences. Sir Louis' argument is that 60 per cent of the prison population should not be there at all and it is notable that Jack Straw has felt able to write an introduction to this book.The argument begins from a historical point by asking what the purpose of imprisoning people originally was. Blom-Cooper also examines the philosophy of those two great Quaker reformers George Fox and Elizabeth Fry. He draws the reader's attention to the misuse of custody as the instinctive punishment for serious crime. The inexorable response of contemporary Britain in resorting to prison as the prime penal section is still morally and practically unsustainable. Restorative justice as a viable alternative method of dealing with some (if not the majority of offenders) is not sufficiently appreciated by politicians or the legislature. We have not yet developed the full potential of non-custodial penalties and the time has come when we really must mean what we say: that prison is the last resort.It is argued that imprisonment - other than those who must be kept out of circulation for fear of serious physical harm, much as we do in the mental-health system, should cease. Sir Louis' thesis is argued at all times with passion and backed-up with extremely digestible statistics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49610834772241,"sku":"GOR004492660","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1847061532.jpg?v=1751436026"},{"product_id":"falling-shadow-book-louis-blom-cooper-qc-9780715626627","title":"The Falling Shadow","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49632242139409,"sku":"GOR001767774","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50055005831441,"sku":"GOR002032154","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50454382379281,"sku":"GOR002027382","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0715626620.jpg?v=1750913470"},{"product_id":"judicial-house-of-lords-book-louis-blom-cooper-qc-9780199693337","title":"The Judicial House of Lords","description":"The House of Lords served as the highest court in the UK for over 130 years.

Virtually half-a-century has passed since the last Royal Commission on the Penal System was dissolved, its work uncompleted. Looking forwards, six members of the Commission asserted that 'after some years' a new Royal Commission would be of great public service. As commentators, writers and practitioners, Sir Louis Blom-Cooper QC and Professor Sean McConville have many decades of experience of penal policy and practice. Some 20-years ago they urged the appointment of a new Royal Commission on the subject. They have since pressed their case in letters to major newspapers and in earlier writings. In this publication the momentum for which is supported by leading figures, they make the case for a new Royal Commission that will be reflective, effective and swift, capable of building consensus and providing directions for generations. They argue that penal policy is fragmented and frequently irrational, contradictory, counterproductive, insubstantial and put together in a haphazard way.The dynamics and pressures of party politics inevitably mean that penal policy often emerges in response to hard cases and headlines. As this pamphlet claims, broader and more considered views, drawing on evidence and seeking to maximise social good, cannot be delivered by politicians afraid of missing an opportunity to score party political points.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52336603922705,"sku":"NLS9781909976177","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52756118176017,"sku":"NIN9781909976177","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781909976177.jpg?v=1758163879"},{"product_id":"guns-for-antigua-book-louis-blom-cooper-qc-9780715623763","title":"Guns for Antigua","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52624459792657,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52624459825425,"sku":"GOR010176435","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780715623763.jpg?v=1761636572"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-louis-blom-cooper-qc.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
