Contradictions of the Punitive Society.
This paper sets out an analytical account of contemporary penal policies and the role of criminological ideas within them.

The social fact of high crime rates, together with the increasingly recognized limits of state action as a means of governing crime, has created a new predicament for policy makers and for politicians. The article identifies adaptive and denial strategies, as well as the different criminologies that accompany them, and outlines a durkheimian account of social development that situates these developments sociologically.

Historical & contemporary examples are provided to illustrate this process. 61 References. AA
