Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This groundbreaking study of transitions and control in the California prison system has been extensively read, cited, and quoted in unpublished form-and is at last available worldwide. A compelling part of the canon of studies in penology, criminology, sociology, and organizational theory, this new edition of STRATEGIES OF CONTROL adds a 2016 foreword by Howard S. Becker and afterword by Jonathan Simon. Considered influential to two generations of scholars worldwide, Messinger's thesis examining prison systems' organization and reform-or in some ways, regression-is said to anticipate Erving Goffman's and Michel Foucault's writings on 'total institutions' by many years, and raised themes that years later would fully resonate in criminology and sociology.
