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 chapters 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
chapters 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 chapters 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.
