Penal Systems: A Comparative ApproachJames Dignan; Michael CavadinoISBN:9780761952039Publisher:Sage Pubns LtdPublication Date:2005Binding:SoftcoverSynopsis: Penal Systems: A Comparative Approach is a comprehensive and original introduction to the comparative study of punishment.
Analyzing twelve countries, authors Michael Cavadino and James Dignan offer an integrated and theoretically rigorous approach to comparative penology. They draw upon material provided by a team of eminent penologists to produce an important and highly readable contribution to scholarship in this area.
Early chapters introduce the reader to comparative penology, set out the theoretical framework and consider whether there is currently a 'global penal crisis'. Each country is then discussed in turn. Chapters on comparative youth justice and the privatization of prisons follow. Comparisons between countries are drawn within each chapter, giving the reader a synoptic and truly comparative vision of penality in different jurisdictions.
