Produktinformationen zu „The Role of Prison in Europe / Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology (PDF)“
This book discusses the role of the prison in Europe across a divide of over 200 years. Inspired by the travels of the prison reformer John Howard (1726-1790), who visited prisons across Europe in the eighteenth century, it fundamentally reflects on centuries of the practice of locking people up as punishment. Howard travelled across Europe to visit prisons, with a simple method: he travelled and knocked on prison doors on his journey and entered the premises. He then observed the situation in the prison, took notes and left to visit other locations. Howard's influential book The State of the Prisons resulted from his experiences, provoking debate among prison reformers and academics worldwide.

Pressezitat
“This book will probably be read in different ways by historical and contemporary criminologists. As the combination of title and subtitle suggests, it deals both with today’s prisons and with the eighteenth-century visitor of carceral institutions, John Howard. … In sum: this is a book … interesting for criminologists.” (Pieter Spierenburg, Rutgers University, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, March, 2017)Kommentar zu "The Role of Prison in Europe / Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology"
