Castles of our Conscience presents a new and distinctive
analysis of the role of the modern state in the shaping of policies
of social control. Staples provides a theoretical framework for
understanding the mechanisms of state policy-making and capacity.
This framework supports an interpretation of the changing nature of
institutions of social control in the United States from the
beginning in the nineteenth century to the present day.
A distinctive feature of the author's approach is his
critique of existing theories of the state as well as recent
revisionist writing in social control. Both, he argues, have tended
to either reduce the state to an instrument of class power or treat
it in too 'structuralist' a fashion. Developing a
sophisticated account of the relationship between the state and
civil society he provides a history of social control policies in
the United States that balances analytical concerns with historical
narrative.
This book will be of interest to students and professionals in
sociology, politics and criminology.
