In recent decades there has been a vast increase in the use of
imprisonment and penal supervision, and to many this development
appears to be qualitatively as well as quantitatively different.
The causes of this development, its consequences and future course
form the main point of departure for the contributors to this
volume, who consider the changes that have contributed to these
apparently fundamental shifts in the use of punishment. In this
major new book contributors from a range of disciplines provide an
integrated approach to a range of questions surrounding the use of
punishment: In what ways have broader social institutions and
processes contributed to penal expansion? This book is the
principal outcome of the Guggenheim Punishment Project which aimed
for a truly interdisciplinary account of thinking about punishment,
and an outcome which was general and reflective rather than
specific and policy oriented, and accessible to the generalist as
well as those with a specialist interest in the field.
