This collection of original essays by leading scholars and
advocates offers the first international examination of the nature,
causes, and effects of laws regulating voting by people with
criminal convictions. In deciding whether prisoners shall retain
the right to vote, a country faces vital questions about democratic
self-definition and constitutional values and, increasingly, about
the scope of judicial power. Yet in the rich and growing literature
on comparative constitutionalism, relatively little attention has
been paid to voting rights and election law. Democracy and
Punishment begins to fill that gap, showing how constitutional
courts in Israel, Canada, South Africa, and Australia, as well as
the European Court of Human Rights, have grappled with these
policies in the last decade, often citing one another along the
way. Chapters analyze partisan politics, political theory, prison
administration, and social values, showing that constitutional law
is the fruit of political and historical contingency, not just
constitutional texts and formal legal doctrine."
