In recent times the question of private sector involvement in
public affairs has become framed in altogether new terms. Across
Europe, there has been a growth in various forms of public-private
cooperation in building and maintaining (new) penal institutions
and an increasing presence of private companies offering security
services within penal institutions as well as delivering security
goods such as electronic monitoring and other equipment to penal
authorities. Such developments are part of a wider trend towards
privatising and marketising security. Bringing together key
scholars in criminology and penology from across Europe and beyond,
this book maps and describes trends of privatising punishment
throughout Europe, paying attention both to prisons and community
sanctions. In doing so, it initiates a continent-wide dialogue
among academics and key public and private actors on the future of
privatisation in Europe. Debates on the privatisation of punishment
in Europe are still underdeveloped and this book plays a pioneering
and agenda-setting role in developing this dialogue.
