The Politics of the Prison and the Prisoner
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in the role of the prison as a source of political ideas and site of political engagement, as well as in the prisoner’s quest for citizenship. The rising number of prisoners has increased fiscal burdens, which has meant that imprisonment has become a more important political issue. There is also greater interest in the prison as a site of political activism and in the generation of radical p…
Sentencing and Punishment
Sentencing and Punishment provides an accessible account of recent developments in sentencing and punishment from the standpoint of penal theories, policy aims, punishment practice, and human rights. It reviews changing ideas on what counts as ‘just’ punishment, and covers the key themes and topics studied on sentencing and punishment courses, New features of this, its fourth edition, include a focus on changes and continuities in penal and sente…
Silence and Confessions
This book examines the treatment of suspects in interrogation and explores issues surrounding the right to silence. Employing a socio-legal approach, it draws from empirical research in the social sci
Sentencing and Punishment
Fully reworked, restructured, and updated, and incorporating changes following the 2019 general election; this fifth edition is the essential guide for anyone studying sentencing and punishment as part of a law or criminology course

The discussion in this book is not confined to a formal legal analysis, although it does include discussion of the developin…
Constructing Citizenship
This article examines the impact of prisoners' rights in the UK and the US in relation to the shift in prisoners' status from a state of social and civil death towards a recognition of their citizenship that is grounded in social inclusion. It argues that the concept of citizenship can be reconstructed to include prisoners and that a rights‐based approach is crucial in moving the prisoner from the status of a non‐person, who is socially dead, tow…
Electing the Electorate
The issue of prisoner disenfranchisement is examined in the light of the recent decision of the European Court of Human Rights in Hirst v UK. It is argued that the arguments in favour of denying prisoners the right to vote lack plausibility. Prisoner disenfranchisement cannot be coherently defended on the justifications of punishment or on the grounds of risk. On the contrary, matters of principle and policy considerations favour the re-enfranchi…
