Throughout much of the western world more and more people are being
sent to prison, one of a number of changes inspired by a 'new
punitiveness' in penal and political affairs. This book seeks to
understand these developments, bringing together leading
authorities in the field to provide a wide-ranging analysis of new
penal trends, compare the development of differing patterns of
punishment across different types of societies, and to provide a
range of theoretical analyses and commentaries to help understand
their significance. As well as increases in imprisonment this book
is also concerned to address a number of other aspects of 'the new
punitiveness': firstly, the return of a number of forms of
punishment previously thought extinct or inappropriate, such as the
return of shaming punishments and chain gangs (in parts of the
USA); and secondly, the increasing public involvement in penal
affairs and penal development, for example in relation to length of
sentences and the California Three Strikes Law, and a growing
accreditation of the rights of victims. The book will be essential
reading for students seeking to understand trends and theories of
punishment on law, criminology, penology and other courses.

What are the various forces influencing the role of the prison in
late modern societies? What changes have there been in penality and
use of the prison over the past 40 years that have led to the
re-valorization of the prison? Using penal culture as a conceptual
and theoretical vehicle, and Australia as a case study, this book
analyses international developments in penality and imprisonment.
Authored by some of Australia's leading penal theorists, the book
examines the historical and contemporary influences on the use of
the prison, with analyses of colonialism, post colonialism, race,
and what they term the 'penal/colonial complex,' in the
construction of imprisonment rates and on the development of the
phenomenon of hyperincarceration. The authors develop penal culture
as an explanatory framework for continuity, change and difference
in prisons and the nature of contested penal expansionism. The
influence of transformative concepts such as 'risk management',
'the therapeutic prison', and 'preventative detention' are explored
as aspects of penal culture. Processes of normalization,
transmission and reproduction of penal culture are seen throughout
the social realm. Comparative, contemporary and historical in its
approach, the book provides a new analysis of penality in the 21st
century.

Comprehensive and authoritative history of Corby and Great Oakley,
charting their growth and development from the early medieval
period to the present day. Lying in north Northamptonshire, close
to the borders with Leicestershire and Rutland, the neighbouring
parishes of Corby and Great Oakley were formerly part of the
ancient administrative division of Corby hundred. Both
remainedagricultural villages, typical of much of rural
Northamptonshire before 1932 when the landscape of the area was
dramatically altered by large-scale industrialisation associated
with the production of iron and steel following the discovery of
rich ironstone deposits to the north and east of Corby village.
Corby was most directly affected by these changes, with the parish
experiencing a dramatic rise in population after the Stewarts &
Lloyds Company chose toconcentrate their entire steel producing
operation there. Between 1932 and 1950, the increasing population
resulted in the hasty construction, firstly by the Stewarts &
Lloyds Company and later by the Corby UDC, of housing estates on
former agricultural land adjacent to the steelworks, before Corby
was designated a New Town in April 1950 and responsibility for it
passed to the Corby Development Corporation. From this point on,
Great Oakley was inexorablydrawn into the expanding new town as it
spread southwards, eventually being incorporated firstly into Corby
urban district in1967 and in 1993 into Corby Borough. Although
Corby is perhaps best known for the social problems or"New Town
Blues" that blighted it after the steelworks (the town's principal
employer) closed in 1980, this volume documents the lesser known
medieval and early modern history of Corby and Great Oakley; it
shows how generations of inhabitants utilised the rich natural
geology and the abundant woodland to supplement the local agrarian
economy, before examining in detail Corby's industrialisation,
physical and economic growth, post-industrial decline and
21st-century regeneration. Mark Page is Assistant Editor, Victoria

From the young Black teenager who built a bass guitar in woodshop
to the musician building a solo career with Motown Records-Prince's
bassist BrownMark on growing up in Minneapolis, joining Prince and
The Revolution, and his life in the purple kingdom In the summer of
1981, Mark Brown was a teenager working at a 7-11 store when he
wasn't rehearsing with his high school band, Phantasy. Come fall,
Brown, now called BrownMark, was onstage with Prince at the Los
Angeles Coliseum, opening for the Rolling Stones in front of 90,000
people. My Life in the Purple Kingdom is BrownMark's memoir of
coming of age in the musical orbit of one of the most visionary
artists of his generation. Raw, wry, real, this book takes us from
his musical awakening as a boy in Minneapolis to the cold call from
Prince at nineteen, from touring the world with The Revolution and
performing in Purple Rain to inking his own contract with Motown.
BrownMark's story is that of a hometown kid, living for sunny days
when his transistor would pick up KUXL, a solar-powered,
shut-down-at-sundown station that was the only one that played
R&B music in Minneapolis in 1968. But once he took up the bass
guitar-and never looked back-he entered a whole new realm, and,
literally at the right hand of Twin Cities musical royalty, he
joined the funk revolution that integrated the Minneapolis music
scene and catapulted him onto the international stage. BrownMark
describes how his funky stylings earned him a reputation (leading
to Prince's call) and how he and Prince first played together at
that night's sudden audition-and never really stopped. He takes us
behind the scenes as few can, into the confusing emotional and
professional life among the denizens of Paisley Park, and offers a
rare, intimate look into music at the heady heights that his
childhood self could never have imagined. An inspiring memoir of
making it against stacked odds, experiencing extreme highs and lows
of success and pain, and breaking racial barriers, My Life in the
Purple Kingdom is also the story of a young man learning his craft
and honing his skill like any musician, but in a world like no
other and in a way that only BrownMark could tell it.

sources of the movement's dynamism, as well as significant
challenges confronting the rising generations. A collaboration
among scholars of history, religious studies, theology, political
science, and ethnic studies, the volume offers unique insight into
a vibrant and sometimes controversial movement, the future of which
is closely tied to the future of America.
