<P>This book explores practical examples of co-production in criminal justice research and practice. Through a series of seven case studies, the authors examine what people <I>do </I>when they co-produce knowledge in criminal justice contexts: in prisons and youth detention centres; with criminalised women; from practitioners'' perspectives; and with First Nations communities.</P><P>Co-production holds a promise: that people whose lives are entangled in the criminal justice system can be valued as participants and partners, helping to shape how the system works. But how realistic is it to imagine criminal justice "service users" participating, partnering, and sharing genuine decision-making power with those explicitly holding power over them?</P><P>Taking a sophisticated yet accessible theoretical approach, the authors consider issues of power, hierarchy, and different ways of knowing to understand the perils and possibilities of co-production under the shadow of "justice".
