Description
The Penal System: An Introduction
This comprehensive and authoritative guide to the penal system provides an incisive and critical account of the punitive, managerial, and humanitarian approaches to criminal justice. Fully updated to reflect recent changes in the Criminal Justice System, this sixth edition explores contemporary policy debates on sentencing, staffing, youth custody, overcrowding, and growing inequalities within the system.
Key topics include the impact of privatisation on the probation service, debates around the parole process, and issues surrounding faith and transgender prisoners. The book is supported by online resources for lecturers and students, making it an essential read for those studying criminology, penology, or punishments.
