Through Theoretical And Empirical Examination Of Legal Frameworks For Court Diversion, This Book Interrogates Laws Complicity In The Debilitation Of Disabled People.In A Postdeinstitutionalisation Era, Diverting Disabled People From Criminal Justice Systems And Into Mental Health And Disability Services Is Considered Therapeutic, Humane And Socially Just. Yet, By Drawing On Foucauldian Theory Of Biopolitics, Critical Legal And Political Theory And Critical Disability Theory, Steele Argues That Court Diversion Continues Disability Oppression. It Can Facilitate Criminalisation, Control And Punishment Of Disabled People Who Are Not Sentenced And Might Not Even Be Convicted Of Any Criminal Offences. On A Broader Level, Court Diversion Contributes To The Longstanding Phenomenon Of Disabilityspecific Coercive Intervention, Legitimates Prison Incarceration And Shores Up The Boundaries Of Foundational Legal Concepts At The Core Of Jurisdiction, Legal Personhood And Sovereignty. Steele Shows That The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of Persons With Disabilities Cannot Respond To The Complexities Of Court Diversion, Suggesting The Crpd Is Of Limited Use In Contesting Carceral Control And Legal And Settler Colonial Violence. The Book Not Only Offers New Ways To Understand Relationships Between Disability, Criminal Justice And Law; It Also Proposes Theoretical And Practical Strategies That Contribute To The Development Of A Wider Reimagining Of A More Progressive And Just Sociolegal Order.The Book Will Be Of Interest To Scholars And Students Of Disability Law, Criminal Law, Medical Law, Sociolegal Studies, Disability Studies, Social Work And Criminology. It Will Also Be Of Interest To Disability, Prisoner And Social Justice Activists.
