Focusing on three key stages of the criminal justice process -
discipline, punishment, and desistance - and incorporating case
studies from Asia, the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Australia, the
thirteen essays in this collection are based on exciting new
research that explores the evolution and adaptation of criminal
justice and penal systems, largely from the early-nineteenth
century to the present. They range across the disciplinary
boundaries of History, Criminology, Law and Penology.
Journeying into and unlocking different national and
international penal archives, and drawing on diverse analytical
approaches, the essays forge new connections between historical and
contemporary issues in crime, prisons, policing, and penal
cultures, and challenge traditional western democratic
historiographies of crime and punishment and categorisations of
offenders, police and ex-offenders.
The individual essays provide new perspectives on race, gender,
class, urban space, surveillance, policing, prisonisation and
defiance and will be essential reading for academics and students
engaged in the study of criminal justice, law, police,
transportation, slavery, offenders and desistance from crime.
