Description

A collection of writings by Dr David Scott which build on his work teaching criminology for over 20 years.

Against Imprisonment includes topics such as `The Changing Face of the Prison', justifications of punishment, prison violence and the shortcomings of prisons and the mega-prisons.

Very much 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.

Provides a compelling analysis of the failings of imprisonment.

Sheds new light on this pressing topic. Explains why prisons do not work for most offenders.
