Abstract: This paper reviews policies adopted in England and Wales, especially since 1965, in attempts to limit the prison population. It is shown that measures designed as 'alternatives to custody' have had little success in reducing the prison population. Measures designed to shorten the length of custodial sentences have had more impact on the size of the population, but at the cost of several anomalies. It is suggested that few outside observers see in present government policy any real likelihood of improving the recent rather dismal track record of attempts to limit prison use in England.

"The exploration of penal censure in this book is inspired by the fortieth anniversary in 2016 of the publication of Andreas von Hirsch's Doing Justice, which opened up a fresh set of issues in theorisation about punishment that eventually led von Hirsch to ground his proposed model of desert-based sentencing on the notion of penal censure. Von Hirsch's work thus provides an obvious starting-point for an exploration of the importance of censure for the justification of punishment, both within von Hirsch's theory of just deserts and from the perspectives of other theoretical approaches. It also provides an opportunity for engaging with censure more broadly from philosophical, sociological-anthropological and individual-psychological perspectives. The essays in this collection map the conceptual territory of censure from these different perspectives, address issues for desert theory that arise from fuller understandings of censure, and consider afresh the role of censure within the jurisprudence of punishment. They show that analyses of censure from different vantage points can significantly enrich punishment theory, not least by providing a conceptual basis for perceiving common ground between and thus connecting different strands of penal theory"--
