The Use of Punishment (Electronic book text)

In this major new book contributors from a range of disciplines provide an integrated approach to a range of questions surrounding the use of imprisonment and penal supervision as forms of punishment. This book is the principal outcome of the Guggenheim Punishment Project which aimed for a truly interdisciplinary account of thinking about punishment, and an outcome which was general and reflective rather than specific and policy oriented, and accessible to the generalist as well as those with a specialist interest in the field.
