Punishment in the Community

The Future of Criminal Justice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Punishment in the Community: The Future of Criminal Justice challenges the widely held assumption that punishment through imprisonment is central to the criminal justice system. The author critically examines the effectiveness of the mechanisms of community control which exist against the background of imprisonment and constitutes a different sphere of control, based on self-government and normalising instruction.
