Details

Noticeably 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.

A compelling analysis of why imprisonment does not work for most offenders which considers the thoughts of some leading abolitionists and challenges punitive rhetoric.
