The impact of a custodial sentence on the siblings of young offenders: matching service to needs
Little policy or practice directly relates to the wellbeing of siblings of young offenders and only a scattering of services are in place which engage the siblings of young offenders by means of positive activities or constructive family support. A review of policies in England and Wales reveals that few services have been designed to address a young person’s needs arising directly from sibling imprisonment. It comes as little surprise that much of the relevant service provision targets siblings of offenders indirectly, or as one of a number of target groups, and evidence of policy that directly concerns the siblings of those -in the criminal justice system remains scant. Where services have been designed specifically for young people with a sibling in custody, they tend to relate to the young person’s own risk of offending rather than the effect on their welfare of their sibling being imprisoned. Although a growing body of research has acknowledged that the siblings of young people in custody do have specific and additional welfare needs in reality, few support mechanisms are implemented to address those needs

Gender and the culture of the English alehouse in late Stuart England
The world of the alehouse and tavern in early modern England has generally been
regarded as primarily male, a view that was deeply embedded in the period itself.
This essay explores the place of women within the public house, in serving, buying
and consuming alcohol, and the unwritten conventions that underpinned social
practice. It argues that while some female customers matched their contemporary
image, as disorderly, immoral and dishonest, it was also possible for respectable
women to visit a tavern or alehouse without risking their good name, provided they
adhered to the conventions. Middling-sort and elite women might drink and dine in
London taverns with their husbands, or in mixed parties; throughout England married
couples, and mixed groups of young folk, might drink, dance, and socialise; marketwomen
might assemble at the end of the day, and chapwomen often lodged overnight.
And, at least in London, respectable women might enter a public house alone, by
day, without meeting disapproval. Many establishments provided private as well as
public rooms, and these created social spaces for female customers, couples and
mixed parties, serving different needs than those met within the main public space
