9781872870854: Prison on Trial (Criminal policy)

Synopsis

Prison On Trial distils the arguments for and against imprisonment in a readable, accessible and authoritative way - making Thomas Mathieson's work a classic for students and other people concerned to understand the real issues. It is as relevant today as when it was first published - arguably more so as policy-making becomes increasingly politicized and true opportunities to influence developments diminish.
Mindful of this, Mathieson recommends an 'alternative public space' where people can engage in valid discussion on the basis of sound information, free from the survival priority of the media - to entertain.
