This book is concerned to explore the idea of imaginary penalities
and to understand why the management of criminal justice and
criminal justice systems has so often reached crisis point. Its
underlying theme is that when political strategies of punitive
populism are combined with managerialist techniques of social
auditing, a new all-encompassing form of governance has emerged -
powerless to deliver what it promises but with a momentum of its
own and increasingly removed from proper democratic accountability.
A highly distinguished international group of contributors explores
this set of themes in a variety of different contexts taken from
the UK, N. America, Europe and Australia. It will be essential
reading for anybody seeking to understand some of the root causes
of increasing prison populations, social harms such as recidivism
and domestic violence and the increasingly important role of
criminal justice within systems of governance.
