The chapters in this volume address specific aspects of punishment, prisons, and incarceration based on the author's unique specialty and setting. The focus is explicitly comparative, analyzing punishment in different national and regional settings, and thus seeks to offer a global orientation. Both thematically and regionally diverse within the province of social and behavioral studies devoted to the study of punishment and incarceration, the chapters in this volume are also diverse in terms of theoretical approach and methodological orientation.ReviewVolume 19 in the Sociology of Crime, Law and Deviance series, this book takes a close look at global perspectives on punishment, with special attention paid to incarceration and prison conditions.
