Egyptian Destiny by Laura Hawks

Egyptian Destiny by Laura Hawks

Life is characterised by movement, change and development, including transitions, losses and grief. People experiencing loss must learn to accommodate it and, sometimes, relearn new roles. Whether the offender is accommodating general loss (such as transition), the loss of others or facing their own impending death, the bereavement process can become a particularly complicated experience for those involved in the criminal justice system.

Criminal offenders may be excluded from participating in grief rituals and may receive few explicit opportunities to talk about a loss they've experienced, sometimes resulting in disenfranchised grief. Informing thinking around assessment, care, and support procedures, this volume seeks to bring together a range of perspectives from different disciplines on crucial issues surrounding the impact of loss, death, dying and bereavement for criminal offenders. The book will explore inherent challenges and responses to the criminal justice system by considering to what extent offenders' loss, death, dying and bereavement experiences have been - or should be - recognised in policy and practice. The first section considers theoretical approaches to loss; the next section translates these issues using professional perspectives to explore practical applications; and the final section introduces an offender perspective.

Through identifying challenges and consolidating evidence, this multidisciplinary book will interest researchers interested in loss and bereavement in vulnerable communities, concepts of disenfranchised grief, end-of-life care and mental healthcare in the criminal justice system.

Hawks, Laura: - Ms. Hawks has always been interested in writing in some form or other as well as an amateur photographer. She has directed tours around the country and continues to do so to pay the bills. Maybe one day, she can travel for fun and let the books she writes pay the bills instead. She can only hope. A few years back, she received her Master's Degree in Ancient Civilizations, Native American History and United States History after wanting to pursue more historical information on the multitude of places she visited during her travel management career. She has currently published a number of fictional stories which include historical and cultural facts as part of the tales she weaves. She has also developed an increased awareness and appreciation for photography. Trying her hand at something slightly different, she has created a photo book on The Balconies of New Orleans. Ms. Hawks attends several conventions around the country.
