Punishment and Modern Society

Punishment and Modern Society by David Garland

Winner of the 1991 Distinguished Scholar Award from the American Sociological Association Winner of the Outstanding Scholarship Award of the Crime and Delinquency Division of the Society for the Study of Social Problems, USA The first comprehensive account of the role of punishment in modern society, this book buils upon the work of Durkheim, Foucault, and others, and provides a fascinating interpretation of this complex social institution, showing how penal institutions interact with strategies of power, socio-economic structures, and cultural sensibilities.

This is a superbly intelligent study, without doubt the best yet written on a topic, penality, which the author has done so much to develop.. As a state of the art account it is unlikely to be bettered for many a year. * Rod Morgan, British Journal of Criminology *
an insightful critique of existing approaches to the theory of punishment * Harvard Law Review *
a landmark study * Andrew Rutherford, Legal Studies *
