Punishing the Other draws on the work of Zygmunt Bauman to discuss
contemporary discourses and practices of punishment and
criminalization. Bringing together some of the most exciting
international scholars, both established and emerging, this book
engages with Bauman's thesis of the social production of immorality
in the context of criminalization and social control and addresses
processes of 'othering' through a range of contemporary case
studies situated in various cultural, political and social
contexts. Topics covered include the increasing bureaucratization
of the business of punishment with the corresponding loss of moral
and ethical reflection in the public sphere; punitive discourses
around border control and immigration; and exclusionary discourses
and their consequences concerning 'terrorists' and other socially
and culturally defined outsiders. Engaging with national and global
issues that are more topical now than ever before, this book is
essential reading for academics and students of involved in the
study of the sociology of punishment, punishment and modern
society, the criminal justice system, philosophy and punishment,
and comparative criminology and penology.
