Penology, Justice and Liberty
University Press of America (Verlag)
978-0-7618-2987-4 (ISBN)
Most of the current books in the field address these issues as mere value choices of the moment, simply presenting the pros and cons for each policy. But this is akin to allowing civilians to wander through an intellectual mine field without benefit of a map or guidelines.
Penology, Justice and Liberty attempts to understand how we have arrived at these "solutions" to our problem of living with one another. It explores the philosophical and historical bases underlying current policies. It is not exhaustive, but hopefully will encourage further study and reflection.
