Compare Managing Modernity by Matt Matravers, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In the last thirty years, the USA and the UK have witnessed a profound change in the way in which we think about and respond to crime and social control. Crime has become part of everyday life as, for many citizens, has imprisonment. Managing Modernitybrings together criminologists, social theorists, and philosophers to consider what explains these changes and what they tell us about ourselves and the way in which we live. The authors consider the pervasive, the obvious, and the covert ways in which crime and social order have come to structure social discourses and social life, from mass imprisonment to zero tolerance, to on-the-spot fines. This volume was previously published as a special issue of theCritical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy (CRISPP). | Managing Modernity by Matt Matravers, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
