The political climate in the UK has changed dramatically over the past decade. There have been a number of important policy initiatives and changes in the field of crime and punishment during the two labour governments. The book provides a stimulating analysis of the politics of crime and punishment in contemporary Britain, reviewing not only recent initiatives in the field of crime control, but also the broader social and political context in which this is taking place. The politics of crime have taken on a pronounced gender, race and age preoccupation and there are many parallels with the changing nature of crime control in the USA. 51. Very Good/No Jacket.
