Description

Punishment and Social Structure examines the fundamental relationship between penal methods and social organisation, moving beyond simplistic notions that punishment exists solely for societal protection. This Routledge publication explores why certain punishment approaches are adopted or rejected within specific social contexts, and how the development of penal systems reflects underlying social relations. The book traces historical shifts in criminal punishment, revealing how class and economic factors once created pronounced disparities in sentencing and treatment. By integrating perspectives from psychology, psychiatry, and sociology, it demonstrates how modern penal practice has evolved to incorporate these disciplines, whilst addressing the complex interplay between legal structures and social conditions that shape contemporary criminology.

Key Features

Examines how class and economic factors historically influenced criminal punishment approaches and sentencing disparities.

Integrates psychological, psychiatric, and sociological perspectives on modern penal methods and rehabilitation practices.

Explores the theoretical foundations explaining why specific punishment methods emerge within particular social contexts.

Provides criminology scholars and students with evidence-based investigation of institutional punishment beyond simple deterrence theory.
