In Community Punishment: European perspectives, the authors place
punishment in the community under the spotlight by exploring the
origins, evolution and adaptations of supervision in 11 European
jurisdictions. For most people, punishment in the criminal justice
system is synonymous with imprisonment. Yet, both in Europe and in
the USA, the numbers of people under some form of penal supervision
in the community far exceeds the numbers in prison, and many
prisoners are released under supervision. Written and edited by
leading scholars in the field, this collection advances the
sociology of punishment by illuminating the neglected but crucial
phenomenon of 'mass supervision'. As well as putting criminological
and penological theories to the test in an examination of their
ability to explain the evolution of punishment beyond the prison,
and across diverse states, the contributors to this volume also
assess the appropriateness of the term 'community punishment' in
different parts of Europe. Engaging in a serious exploration of
common themes and differences in the jurisdictions included in the
collection, the authors go on to examine how 'community punishment'
came into being in their jurisdiction and how its institutional
forms and practices have been legitimated and re-legitimated in
response to shifting social, cultural and political contexts. This
book is essential reading for academics and students involved in
the study of both community punishment and comparative penology,
but will also be of great interest to criminal justice
policymakers, managers and practitioners.
