Punishment in the Community: The Future of Criminal Justice

Autor Anne Worrall
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 oct 1997
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. Contemporary political debate assumes that penality is synonymous with prison. However, in reality, the vast majority of people admitting to, or convicted of criminal offences are dealt with using non-custodial penal measures.

Descriere

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.
