Law depends on various modes of classification. How an act or a
person is classified may be crucial in determining the rights
obtained, the procedures employed, and what understandings get
attached to the act or person. Critiques of law often reveal how
arbitrary its classificatory acts are, but no one doubts their
power and consequence.
This crucial new book considers the problem of law's physical
control of persons and the ways in which this control illuminates
competing visions of the law: as both a tool of regulation and an
instrument of coercion or punishment. It examines various instances
of punishment and regulation to illustrate points of overlap and
difference between them, and captures the lived experience of the
state's enterprise of subjecting human conduct to the governance of
rules. Ultimately, the essays call into question the adequacy of a
view of punishment and/or regulation that neglects the perspectives
of those who are at the receiving end of these exercises of state
power.
