Against Imprisonment

Noticeably 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. A compelling analysis of why imprisonment does not work for most offenders which considers the thoughts of some leading abolitionists and challenges punitive rhetoric.

In mod vizibil impotriva obsesiei politice actuale de crestere a incarcerarii, aceasta carte este un apel de trezire pentru toti cei care considera ca utilizarea inchisorii nu reuseste sa reduca criminalitatea. O analiza convingatoare a motivului pentru care detentia nu functioneaza pentru majoritatea infractorilor, care ia in considerare gandurile unor abolitionisti de frunte si contesta retorica punitiva.
