Amid the recent resurgence of interest in the political economy of punishment, this timely and valuable collection brings fresh insights as well as building on established paradigms. The book, which features some of the leading figures in the field, ranges widely across countries and explores a variety of approaches, yet holds nicely together within a coherent shared project. It should reach a wide and attentive audience.

The Political Economy of Punishment Today

Over the last fifteen years, the analytical field of punishment and society has witnessed an increase of research developing the connection between economic processes and the evolution of penality from different standpoints, focusing particularly on the increase of rates of incarceration in relation to the transformations of neoliberal capitalism.

Bringing together leading researchers from diverse geographical contexts, this book reframes the theoretical field of the political economy of punishment, analysing penality within the current economic situation and connecting contemporary penal changes with political and cultural processes. It challenges the traditional and common sense understanding of imprisonment as exclusion and posits a more promising concept of imprisonment as a differential or subordinate form of inclusion.

This groundbreaking book will be a key text for scholars who are working in the field of punishment and society as well as reaching a broader audience within law, sociology, economics, criminology and criminal justice studies.

Dario Melossi is Professor of Criminology in the School of Law of the University of Bologna. After having been Editor-in-Chief of Punishment and Society he is currently Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Criminology.

Mximo Sozzo is Professor of Sociology and Criminology at the Social and Juridical Sciences Faculty of the National University of Litoral (Santa Fe, Argentina). He is also Adjunct Professor at the School of Justice of Queensland University of Technology (Brisbane, Australia).

Jos A. Brandariz-Garca is Associate Professor of Criminal Law and Criminology at the University of A Corua (Spain), and member of the Executive Board of the European Society of Criminology.

The works in this series strive to generate new conceptual and theoretical frameworks to address the legal, organisational and normative responses to the challenges that diversity and intersectionality present to criminal justice systems. This series aims to present cutting edge empirically informed theoretical works from both new and established scholars around the world.

Drawing upon a range of disciplines including sociology, law, history, economics, and social work, the series encourages different approaches to questions of mobility and exclusion with a cross-section of theorists, empiricists, and critical policy researchers. It will be key reading for scholars who are working in criminal justice, criminology, criminal law and human rights, as well as those in the fields of gender and LGBTI studies, migration studies, anthropology, refugee studies and post-colonial studies.
