Punishment and Modern Society Bewertungen

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 *
