Voters should not be in prison! The rights of prisoners in a democracy
In Hirst v UK, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the UK must end its blanket ban on convicted prisoners voting. In this paper I argue that the court’s reasoning undermines collective political self-determination by assuming away the essential connection between political citizenship and civil liberty in a representative democracy.

The period has been punctuated by a series of exchanges between sociologists and philosophers as writers have sought to develop a sound theoretical basis for the claim that knowledge was being used as a form of social control, and that schools had not advanced much from the days when they began wi…
