Crime Control as Industry


Add your own review!

Overview

"This text argues that crime control, rather than crime itself, is the real danger for our future. Since the second edition was published in 1994, prison populations, especially in Russia and America, have grown at an increasingly rapid rate. This third edition is published to take account of these changes and draw attention to the scale of an escalating problem. It contains new chapters - one on ""penal geography"", the other on ""the Russian case"" - and has been extensively revised."
