The Lived Sentence : Rethinking Sentencing, Risk and Rehabilitation Paperback / softback
by Maggie Hall
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book examines the lives of the sentenced to argue that 'sentencing' should be re-conceived to consider the human perspective.
It combines a range of modern criminological and legal theories together with interviews with prisoners in New South Wales, to examine their lives during and beyond completing the terms of imprisonment, for a more continuous and coherent perspective on the process of 'sentencing'.
This book makes a strong argument for the practical advantages of listening to the voices of the sentenced and it is therefore a useful tool for the correctional community engaged in providing services and programmes to reduce recidivism.
A methodological and well-researched text, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of criminal justice and the penal system, as well as policy makers and practitioners.
