Against Imprisonment Zusammenfassung

Against Imprisonment: An Anthology of Abolitionist Essays David Scott

A collection of writings by Dr David Scott which build on his work teaching criminology for over 20 years. Against Imprisonment includes topics such as `The Changing Face of the Prison', justifications of punishment, prison violence and the shortcomings of prisons and the mega-prisons. Very much against the current political obsession with increasing incarceration, this book is a wake-up call for all those who feel the use of imprisonment is failing to achieve a reduction in crime. Provides a compelling analysis of the failings of imprisonment. Sheds new light on this pressing topic. Explains why prisons do not work for most offenders.

Against Imprisonment Bewertungen

'The multitude of perspectives, the pleasantly readable linguistic style and commitment with which Scott writes, make Against Imprisonment a refreshing and instructive read.'-- TOA (German Restorative Justice Journal); `Scott systematically dismantles widely-accepted justifications for punishment on ethical, political, philosophical and practical grounds, forcefully demonstrating that the only clear purpose of imprisonment is the infliction of pain and suffering on all those who come into contact with the prison place, whether as detainees or staff. He provides us with fascinating glimpses...into what he describes as modern-day cathedrals of pain. Turning the utopian myth that prison works on its head, he invites us to imagine real utopian non-penal alternatives to punishment that respect human dignity and deliver genuine social justice.'- Emma Bell (From the Foreword). 'This thought-provoking collection gave us a compelling analysis of current failings of the concept of imprisonment which should be compulsory reading for those working in the Ministry of Justice... the forerunner of massive change'--Elizabeth Robson Taylor and Phillip Taylor MBE of Richmond Green Chambers.
