An Introduction to Penology is a concise, informative, scholarly
guide that will speak to a variety of audiences interested in how
the notion of punishment plays out in community and custodial
settings with people who have broken the law. With a particular
focus on prisons and probation, the book provides an opportunity
for readers to critically engage with the concept of punishment (in
theory and practice) and consider different ways in which we, as a
society, can respond to lawbreaking. The text will allow students
to pursue a more in-depth study of two of the main criminal justice
institutions through the lens of their organisational structures,
cultures, service delivery and responses to the needs of minority
and vulnerable groups. Throughout the text, students will be
encouraged to critically engage with longstanding penological
debates taking into consideration the theory, policy and practice
of punishment, and will explore ways in which we can rethink
penology on an individual and social level and begin to make a case
for social justice rather than criminal justice. This innovative
and contemporary text is a must read for students studying
criminology, criminal justice, penology and those interested in
pursuing a career in either the prison or probation services. Lol
Burke is Professor in Criminal Justice and Dr Helena Gosling is a
Senior Lecturer in Criminal Justice at Liverpool John Moores
University.
