Summary

Esta obra describe los cambios en el control del crimen y justicia criminal producidos en Gran Bretana y Estados Unidos en los ultimos 25 anos。 Explica los cambios mostrando como la organizacion social de la modernidad tardia provoca reajustes politicos y culturales que modifican la manera de pensar y reaccionar de los gobiernos y ciudadanos al crimen。 David Garland, uno de los especialistas mas distinguidos en sociologia del crimen, presenta un analisis original y a fondo del control de la criminalidad que revela la logica y el tipo de racionalidad que lo guia。 Las actitudes sociales y culturales que produjeron esta nueva cultura del control renuncian a la reinsercion a favor de la exclusion permanente de una clase de nuevos 'parias'。 La cultura del control muestra hasta que punto la criminalidad es el fiel espejo, de las practicas sociales en un mundo patologicamente consumista y laboralmente precario。

Fascinating approach to understanding crime and the crisis of the nation state in late modernity。 Does the work Foucault may have done had he survived to see the seismic changes in the area of crime。

Natalie Clare

I really enjoyed reading this book。

Mind opening book。 It turned around my point of view on the prison system and social control。

Kony

Eye-opening。 Traces the cultural, political, and economic forces that have pushed the US and UK toward control-freakish mentalities and punitive social policies。

Opera che richiede pazienza e impegno alla lettura, ma fondamentale per comprendere come si sia andata formando, dagli anni Settanta in poi, quella società ad alti livelli di incarcerazione in cui ancora oggi viviamo e che sembra voler estendere le sue logiche di controllo e criminalizzazione su tutti gli aspetti del quotidiano, anche i più minuti, senza incontrare quasi alcuna resistenza。

A look at the decline of the American and British crime-and-punishment paradigms of the mid-20th century and the replacement of what Garland calls a "penal-welfarist" model emphasising rehabilitation, the social roots of crime, and the re-integration of ex-offenders into society by a model that emphasises imprisonment ("incapacitation") and an exclusionary model of social control that keeps suspect populations (the young, the poor, racial minorities) out of increasingly privatised public spaces。 A look at the decline of the American and British crime-and-punishment paradigms of the mid-20th century and the replacement of what Garland calls a "penal-welfarist" model emphasising rehabilitation, the social roots of crime, and the re-integration of ex-offenders into society by a model that emphasises imprisonment ("incapacitation") and an exclusionary model of social control that keeps suspect populations (the young, the poor, racial minorities) out of increasingly privatised public spaces。 Garland looks at the perceived failure of a welfarist model of crime control in the face of rising violent crime in the 1960s-70s and charts how a series of intellectual movements (a "rational choice" view of crime taken from microeconomics; a conservative reassertion of retributive sentences; and a moral outlook that simply regards some people as beyond rehabilitation) combined with growing fears of an underclass and collapsing social order to make the US and Britain both receptive to systems that imprison vast numbers of people with no attention to re-integration or training, that impose ever-harsher sentences, and that increasingly make crime and punishment a kind of politicised ritual of emotional purging。Garland is perhaps too theoretical here--- he could've used more examples of policies concretly in action ---but his picture is bleak enough。 Even after violent crime rates dropped in the late '90s, American and British governments continue to rely on (often privatised) prisons to simply warehouse offenders and politicians and the media use the fear of crime (often the fear of civic inconvenience or simply fear of the lower classes or the "deviant") to exclude more and more people from being considered as real citizens。 。。。more

This book was a fantastic look at crime in the US and UK since the 60s and 70s, the rise of a culture of fear, and the way that skyrocketing incarceration rates mirror sociopolitical developments。 Plus, it's actually readable。 This book was a fantastic look at crime in the US and UK since the 60s and 70s, the rise of a culture of fear, and the way that skyrocketing incarceration rates mirror sociopolitical developments。 Plus, it's actually readable。 。。。more
