Description
A remarkable account which goes to the heart of penal policy in England and Wales. Refreshing and insightful, this work will prove to be invaluable to practitioners, students, researchers and those wishing to understand `the new democratic mood', its relationship to crime and punishment and where it is leading. With a Foreword by Martin Narey This innovative work---by one of the UK's leading experts---charts developments across a fifty year time frame. It begins in 1980 at the start of a growth in the prison population of England and Wales (and other parts of the world) and travels across time to 2030. It will be invaluable to anyone wishing to cut through the mass of fine detail and data which can be found in other works in favour of a straighforward, authoritative and well-informed short history. Novel, original and highly accessible, this book is the ideal companion for any student of penal affairs. Touching on the key events which continue to shape penal policy in England and Wales, it looks at `seismic shifts' since 1980, points to `a new democratic mood' and anticipates how things might shape up in coming decades.
