First published in 1989, Punishment examines the practice of
punishment, not simply as a typical sanction employed by the state
but as a pervasive feature of social organisation in both past and
contemporary societies. With depth and rigour, they consider penal
practice in a variety of historical and cultural contexts, such as
the family, kinship and tribal groupings, small communities,
educational institutions, the workplace and the commercial
environment, criminal organisations, and the wider international
community, as well as that of the state. In this way they widen the
scope of the debate about the use of punishment as an instrument of
human organisation, presenting different perspectives on the
phenomenon of punishment and questioning the boundaries between
different disciplines - juridical, philosophical, sociological,
psychological and historical - within which the subject has been
considered in the past. This book will be of interest to students
and teachers of history, sociology, criminology, law, philosophy
and psychology.
