Over the last 40 years, the US penal system has grown at an unprecedented rate five times larger than in the past and grossly out of scale with the rest of the world. Authors and eminent criminologists Clear and Frost argue that America's move to mass incarceration from the 1960s to the early 2000s was more than just a response to crime or a collection of policies adopted in isolation; it was a grand social experiment. Part historical study, part forward-looking policy analysis, The Punishment Imperative is a compelling study of a generation of crime and punishment in America.

Addicted to Incarceration: Corrections Policy and the Politics of Misinformation in the United States 2ed

Lacey Schaefer, Francis T Cullen and John


Environmental Corrections builds on the idea of developing a new paradigm for probation and parole officers to use in supervising offenders. Previous attempts to bring the insights of environmental criminology into corrections have been modest and thus far not interconnected. By contrast, by explicitly setting forth environmental corrections, it is possible to open up fresh ideas and practices on how best to help offenders avoid returning to crime while on probation and parole.

Guided by empirical research, psychological theory and illustrative case studies involving adults with ASD who have been implicated in crimes, Robyn L. Young and Neil Brewer explain why. They examine the pivotal cognitive, social and behavioural characteristics unique to ASD (such as weak Theory of Mind, restricted interests and acute sensory sensitivities) that - individually or in interaction - may contribute to individuals becoming involved in illegal activities. They then discuss how these same characteristics can result in ongoing ineffective interaction with the criminal justice system.
