Includes bibliographical references and index.
The field of punishment and society simultaneously involves studies of the past and present, quantitative analyses of penal trends, and ethnographic exploration of penal experiences, work grounded in core sociological theory and work stimulated primarily by studies of literature and philosophy. This handbook draws together this disparate and expansive field of study into one volume.
