Reviews

an impassioned, informative and important work that delivers deep insights into the character of mass supervision - Punishment and Society Brings to life the deep harms of supervision and how we might reconfigure it to create more justice for individuals and our communities - Dr Michelle S. Phelps, University of Minnesota, USA Remarkable and ground-breaking...this singular work will challenge your understanding of punishment as well as your views about the limitations of academic work - Professor Shadd Maruna, Queen's University Belfast, UK Deserves to be widely read by scholars, students and policy makers - Dr Gwen Robinson, University of Sheffield, UK An immensely readable account that is compassionate, empathetic, and humane - yet sharply observed and deeply critical - Professor David Garland, New York University, USA Beginning with the terms probation and parole, McNeill explores the diverse set of sanctions or measure imposed by criminal courts that involve some form of supervision in the community, whether instead of a custodial sentence as in certain forms of suspended or conditional sentences, as a community-based sentence in its own right (like probation in some jurisdiction), or as part of a sentence that begins with imprisonment but extends beyond it as in parole. He looks at the scale and social distribution of such mass supervision, the processes by which it has been legitimated, and how it is experienced by those subject to it. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) *
