The book offers an incisive collection of contemporary research
into the problems of crime control and punishment. It has three
inter-related aims: to take stock of current thinking on
punishment, regulation, and control in the early years of a new
century and in the wake of a number of critical junctures,
including 9/11, which have transformed the social, political, and
cultural environment; to present a selection of the diverse
epistemological and methodological frameworks which inform current
research; and finally to set out some fruitful directions for the
future study of punishment. The contributions to this collection
cover some of the most exciting and challenging areas of current
research including terrorism and the politics of fear, penality in
societies in transition, penal policy and the construction of
political identity, the impact of digital culture on modes of
compliance, the emergent hegemony of information and surveillance
systems, and the evolving politics of victimhood.
