| Résumé : | Quatrième de couverture : "This book reviews the burgeoning literature on punishment and penal-change by taking a highly original, author-oriented approach, concentrating on the work of four leading scholars." "The author deviates from the classical approach to literature reviews by placing the scholars, rather than the issues to be addressed, at the centre of the book. This book, then, is as much about the selected authors as the stories they bring. It includes four large chapters devoted to the work of each author, offering an expose of their work framed within the context of their lives. This scholar-oriented approach allows the author to deal with questions related to criminology's public persuasiveness - a timely analysis in view of recent calls for criminologists and other social scientists to enter public debate more directly." "This title is an accessible and important contribution to the debate on recent penal change, which is of interest to criminologists, sociologists, socio-legal scholars, and criminal lawyers and students." |
