This ground-breaking collection examines the erosion of the legal boundaries traditionally dividing civil detention from criminal punishment.

Rezensionen

"The authors in the anthology contribute from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, generating nuanced approaches and revealing common themes. The book is best for scholars in law and social sciences, as well as criminal justice practitioners, policy makers, and advocates who are interested in the limits of the law, the transformation of punishment, and the lived experiences of people subjected to them." (Valerie King, University of Oxford Faculty of Law, law.ox.ac.uk, September, 2016)
