Originally published in 1974 and the recipient of the Denis Carroll
Book Prize at the World Congress of the International Criminology
Society in 1978, Thomas Mathiesen's The Politics of Abolition is a
landmark text in critical criminology. In its examination of
Scandinavian penal policy and call for the abolition of prisons,
this book was enormously influential across Europe and beyond among
criminologists, sociologists and legal scholars, as well as
advocates of prisoners' rights. Forty years on and in the context
of mass incarceration in many parts of the world, this book remains
relevant to a new generation of penal scholars. This new edition
includes a new introduction from the author, as well as an
afterword that collects contributions from leading criminologists
and inmates from Germany, England, Norway and the United States to
reflect on the development and current state of the academic
literature on penal abolition. This book will be suitable for
academics and students of criminology and sociology, as well as
those studying political science. It will also be of great interest
to those who read the original book and are looking for new
insights into an issue that is still as important and topical today
as it was forty years ago.
