Public policy systems, much like humans, can operate under
continual stress over long periods of time. Whereas analysis of
these systems often tends to focus on the extremes of success or
failure, the more complex reality is that more often than not they
neither completely excel nor completely fail in what they do, but
combine elements of both in the way they cope and perform under
stress. This book explores these dynamics through the archetypal
case of crowding in British prisons. Packed with data, it provides
an original analysis of the prison system through an era of
managerialist change. It contributes to contemporary debates on the
management of prisons, and the wider fields of public management,
governance, and executive politics. At its heart lies a new concept
of "chronic capacity stress" (CCS), one which will be valuable to
anyone - academics, practitioners, students alike - interested in
how policy systems both succeed and fail in complex and
ever-changing political, economic, and social environments.
