Punishing the Other
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-77694-4 (ISBN)
Topics covered include the increasing bureaucratization of the business of punishment with the corresponding loss of moral and ethical reflection in the public sphere; punitive discourses around border control and immigration; and exclusionary discourses and their consequences concerning ‘terrorists’ and other socially and culturally defined outsiders.
Engaging with national and global issues that are more topical now than ever before, this book is essential reading for academics and students of involved in the study of the sociology of punishment, punishment and modern society, the criminal justice system, philosophy and punishment, and comparative criminology and penology.
Anna Eriksson is a criminologist and penologist based at Monash University, Australia.

She is also involved in other research projects, concerning children of prisoners, people with acquired brain injuries in the criminal justice system, preparation for release and parole, and restorative justice. Her latest book (with John Pratt), Contrasts in Punishment: An Explanation of Anglophone Excess and Nordic Exceptionalism, was published by Routledge in 2013. She has been a visiting academic at King’s College London, UK; Örebro University, Sweden; and Oxford University, UK.
