| Description: |
Escalating resort to prisons, longer sentences, overcrowded and ineffective regimes, high rates of re-offending and eclectic penal policy all combine to fuel the crisis, whilst failing to reduce offending. This book argues that the symptoms of this penal malaise are grounded in the media sensationalism of crime. |
| Synopsis: |
Escalating resort to prisons, longer sentences, overcrowded and ineffective regimes, high rates of re-offending and eclectic penal policy all combine to fuel this crisis, whilst failing to reduce offending. In this new book, David J Cornwell, author of the acclaimed "Criminal Punishment and Restorative Justice" (ISBN 9781904380207), argues that the symptoms of this penal malaise are grounded in media sensationalism of crime and the need of politicians and their advisers to retain electoral credibility. Change is long overdue, but it requires a fresh, contemporary penology based on Restorative Justice. This book challenges the status quo, asks 'different questions' and places victims of crime at the centre of the criminal justice process. |
