Inter-war Penal Policy and Crime in England Reviews

This book uses the central event of the riot as a cypher to explore key areas in the history of crime and penality in inter-war England. ... The book has much to recommend it, in terms of both the detailed study of the event, the broader study of the culture of the prison, and the responses to, and representation of, the prison and its inmates in social and political discourse. (Heather Shore, History - Journal of the Historical Association, January, 2016)
