The U.S. Federal Prison System is the first comprehensive reference work that includes official prison policies, first-person accounts from prisoners, and information about each federal...

In Race, Gender, and Punishment, Mary Bosworth and Jeanne Flavin bring together twelve original essays by prominent scholars to examine not only the discrimination that is evident, but also the structural and cultural forces that have influenced and continue to perpetuate the current situation. Contributors point to four major factors that...

What is punishment? It also seeks to explain outcomes: what causes crime? What is the effect of punishment? What makes a criminal?
As theoretical criminology continues rapidly to develop, this new four-volume mini library meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the major works that have contributed to its growth. The...

In an era of mass mobility, those who are permitted to migrate and those criminalized, controlled, and prohibited from migrating are heavily patterned by race.
