The Art of Punishment by Graeme Newman
In this second volume, arguably the most challenging and despicable of such books, Graeme Newman helps us experience punishment through the lens of artists, brilliant and mundane, though never failing to confront us with the awful things we do to those who have broken the law. These 148 images show us what we are truly capable of, and how necessary it is to be convinced that the recipients of horrible punishments really deserve what they get. As such, it is essential that the guilt of the accused be established beyond reasonable doubt. Newman's poignant and concise commentaries on every picture both educate and engage, uncovering the emotive psychology of punishment (that is, hypocrisy) that lies at the heart of all functioning societies.
Gregory J. Howard is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Western Michigan University. His current research and practice is concerned with social movements, resistance and revolt, environmental sociology, comparative criminology, and pedagogy.
