Criminal Justice and Neoliberalism

Criminal Justice and Neoliberalism

by Dr Emma Bell (Author)

Synopsis

This book explores the origins of the so-called 'punitive turn' in penal policy across Western nations over the past two decades. It demonstrates how the context of neoliberalism has informed penal policy-making and argues that it is ultimately neoliberalism which has led to the recent intensification of punishment.
