Punishing the Poor (Paperback)
Wacquant, Loïc J. D. (Author)
Available for Order
£26.99
In this book, the author argues that the punitive turn taken by penal policies in advanced societies over the past two decades does not pertain to the traditional duo of crime and punishment. He contends that neoliberal societies have sought to control the poor through a combination of penal sanction and welfare supervision.
