| المراجعة التحريرية | This sixth edition of The Penal System continues the tradition of incisive analysis of the state of the nation in relation to the penal system. This is a well-crafted book which gives an excellent overview of the key challenges and directions in the contemporary English and Welsh penal system. In particular, the authors offer clear attempts to locate the crux of the problems in sentencing system, and they address key issues of how to solve the various crises of conditions in the prison system, community-based sentences, and provision for young people in conflict with the law through the youth justice system. The book also addresses the various crises of conditions, control and authority, accountability and legitimacy. This is a must read for those who wish to better understand and appreciate the complexities, the principles and practices of the penal system. Students and policy-makers alike will benefit from this extremely well-informed and insightful explanation of penal affairs. |
