Prison Readings Yvonne Jewkes

Prison Readings provides a comprehensive, critical introduction to the main debates and dilemmas associated with prisons and imprisonment, bringing together a selection of the key readings on the subject, along with a comprehensive introduction and commentary written by the editors. It will be essential reading for students studying prisons as part of courses in criminology, sociology, law, psychology and other disciplines and practitioners working in this field.

Prison Readings introduces students to the history and development of prisons, contemporary theories and issues relating to prison populations, to sociological and psychological literature on the 'effects' of imprisonment, and to debates about the management and privatisation of the prison estate and emerging trends.

Prison Readings Bewertungen

'As someone who has considerable experience of the everyday realities of prison life, to me this book was compelling. I found it to be both stimulating and illuminating, and I have learned a lot from reading it. Certainly if more people had a grasp of its contents, there would be a much more informed debate on the subject. There really should be a copy in every Governor's boardroom and prison library in the land.' Ian Macfadyen Inspector, HM Inspectorate of Prisons

'[T]his book undoubtedly provides a succinct and thorough account of the contentious issues that continue to equally concern academics, human rights lawyers and practitioners in the criminal justice field.' Rose Parkes, De Montfort University
