Synopsis

A comprehensive introduction to the penal system in England and Wales. The authors examine all aspects of the penal process, including details of the recent dramatic developments which have made the punishment of offenders and the escalating "penal crisis" one of the most hotly debated issues of the day. Chapters focus on topics such as justifying punishment, prison privatization, early release, young offenders, and bias in the criminal justice system. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
