Crime Control As Industry Towards Gulags, Western Style

This classic text argues that crime control, rather than crime itself is the real danger for our future. Since the second edition was published in 1994, prison populations, especially in Russia and America, have grown at an increasingly rapid rate. This third edition is published to take account of these changes and draw attention to the scale of an escalating problem. It contains completely new chapters - one on 'penal geography', the other on 'the Russian case' - and has been extensively revised.Christie, Nils is the author of 'Crime Control As Industry Towards Gulags, Western Style', published 2000 under ISBN 9780415234870 and ISBN 0415234875.
