Thinking about Punishment

Penal Policy Across Space, Time and Discipline

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This collection of Michael Tonry's key writings on penal policy and criminal justice brings together three clusters of topics not usually treated together: penal policy trends in western countries, racial and ethnic disparities, and sentencing policies, practices, and theories. Recent research in the past few decades has shown that these topics are inextricably interrelated.
