Excellent- More about Deaf People in the Criminal Justice System: Selected Topics on Advocacy, Incarceration, and Social Justice
Deaf people in the criminal justice system face numerous challenges, including denied access to sign language interpreters and accommodations, and the lack of advocates qualified to work with this population.

The legal system is intricate, and without proper access, numerous injustices can occur. Deaf individuals within the criminal justice system frequently face denial of sign language interpreters, videophone access, and other accommodations at every stage of the legal process. Furthermore, the marginalization of deaf people in the criminal justice system is exacerbated by the scarcity of advocates who possess the necessary expertise to work with this population.
Deaf People in the Criminal Justice System: Selected Topics on Advocacy, Incarceration, and Social Justice is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the challenges faced by deaf people when they are arrested, incarcerated, or navigating the court system. This comprehensive volume brings together interdisciplinary contributors to explore both the problems and solutions for deaf individuals in these circumstances.
The contributors address a range of critical issues, including accessibility needs, gaps in data collection and the need for more research, additional training for attorneys, court personnel, and prison staff, the importance of hiring qualified sign language interpreters, including Certified Deaf Interpreters who provide services in court, prison, and juvenile facilities, substance use disorders, the school-to-prison nexus, and the need for advocacy. This resource is designed to empower students in training programs, researchers, attorneys, mental health professionals, sign language interpreters, family members, and advocates to enhance the experiences and outcomes for deaf people in the criminal justice system.
By providing a comprehensive and multidisciplinary perspective, this book serves as a valuable tool for improving the understanding and treatment of deaf individuals within the criminal justice system. It is a must-read for anyone who seeks to promote social justice and equity for this marginalized population.
