A timeless work by one of the UK's leading commentators and now
with pointers to key developments in penal politics of the last 20
years. This first paperback version contains a wide-ranging
analysis of the topic from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day,
including: the impact on punishments of power struggles, wealth,
superstition, class distinctions, populist ideas, the centrality
for many years of the death penalty, modern-day ideas of
rehabilitation but above all the underlying threads of social
control, law and order and political signals about crime.
