Samenvatting

This work provides the first overview and synthesis of the sociology and history of punishment. It is the first comprehensive account of the forms, functions, and significance of punishment in modern society. It is important firstly for reassessing the work of the leading sociologists, and synthesizing their ideas. Secondly, it develops a completely new, comprehensive, and stimulating theory which will establish it as the pre-eminent work in the sociology of punishement and as a major work of social theory.
