Description

Explore a radical revision of criminological theory with Penal Power and Colonial Rule from Routledge. This scholarly work examines how penal power developed outside the metropolitan center, offering a new perspective on the relationship between power and punishment. While traditional theories often focus on the emergence of disciplinary power within the center, this book argues that we must reread and rebalance the connection between sovereign, disciplinary, and governmental power to understand its operation in the colonial sphere. By focusing on the specific historical context of India, the text provides a detailed account of how colonial penal power functioned as a central element of rule. This book is an essential resource for students and academics interested in international law, colonial history, and the evolution of criminological knowledge. It challenges existing frameworks and provides a necessary academic lens for viewing how power was exercised in non-metropolitan settings.
