Society provides a vehicle for the publication of scholarly articles within the

and overcriminalization. Other papers included in this important volume address
the shift in attitudes to solitary confinement (and the prospect of moving
beyond solitary confinement measures) and private prison services. This volume
brings together leading scholars and will be vital reading for all those

Rezensionen / Stimmen
Seven studies offer sociological perspectives on life after imprisonment in the US. They cover after solitary confinement: a new era of punishment; planning for precarity: experiencing the carceral continuum of imprisonment and reentry; banking on rehab: private prison vendors and the reconfiguration of mass incarceration; the collateral consequence conundrum: comparative genealogy, current trends, and future scenarios; background check laws and the endogenous construction of criminal risk; churning through the system: how people engage with the criminal justice system when faced with short sentences; and maximizing charges: over-criminalization and prosecutorial practices during the crime decline. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) *
