The police were not bringing solutions, thus residents replicated Chicago’s Cure Violence Model by creating their own program of violence interrupters named Acuerdo de Paz built on a feminist framework that paid its workers a living wage. The workers reached out to young people encountering obstacles in a complex social context. They utilized developing a different form of consciousness to disrupt gendered expectations regarding how to respond to personal affronts. Resistance also came from the involvement of university students working to ensure better access and resources at public universities. In addition, social media was utilized to change the perception of victimization and how traditional thinking about who was worthy and unworthy maintained many classist, racist, and sexist viewpoints. In summary, LeBrón’s interdisciplinary training provides a refreshing analysis to the contemporary challenges in Puerto Rico as a colonial possession of the United States. The book shines in outlining how political leaders in the territory ignored, neglected, and targeted certain segments of the population. The use of the Puerto Rican Police Department and National Guard resulted in enhanced inequality. As an act of survival from violent victimization and incarceration, residents created several forms of self-help strategies that lacked ongoing institutional support. Resolving these challenges may be more difficult after Hurricane María in 2017. I look forward to learning more from Dr. Marisol LeBrón, regarding these evolving changes, as residents pursue solidarity and mutual support in the face of inequality maintained by punitive governance.","PeriodicalId":47626,"journal":{"name":"Punishment & Society-International Journal of Penology","volume":"25 1","pages":"1144 - 1147"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43754914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"I González Sánchez, Neoliberalismo y castigo","authors":"J. A. Brandariz","doi":"10.1177/14624745221078999","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/14624745221078999","url":null,"abstract":"Leading scholars have called for an expansion of the punishment and society perspective beyond the North Atlantic, neoliberal heartlands on which this body of literature has primarily focused its analytical gaze (Simon and Sparks, 2013). Ignacio González’s Neoliberalismo y castigo (Neoliberalism and Punishment, hereinafter NyC) is a decisive step in that direction. Indeed, not many monographs published in Spanish are as consistent as NyC in exploring the penal field as a complex social institution (see NyC, pp. 25, 177), recognising that the penal field cannot be understood by merely taking into account its legal and law enforcement dimensions (pp. 52, 184). Superficially considered, NyC can be seen as an academic effort to test the neoliberal penality thesis (Wacquant, 1999/2009, 2009) in a Southern European jurisdiction such as Spain. Certainly, the book presents the results of that type of exploration, but it goes well beyond that specific academic endeavour. It makes a significant contribution to the political economy of punishment by closely scrutinising the impact of the neoliberal ethos and rationales on three key public policy fields: labour policies, social policies, and penal policies. For these purposes, NyC examines the shifts in these three fields witnessed in Spain over a four-decade period by considering them through the lens of some basic tropes of neoliberal governmentality, that is those of individualisation, ‘contractualization’ and moralisation, all of which are safeguarded by punitive forms of state coercion (see e.g. pp. 179, 181–182). In elaborating its richly textured analysis of these public policy changes, NyC goes a long way in revitalising and updating academic debates on the neoliberal penality thesis. The monograph persuasively highlights the many methodological and theoretical strengths of that analytical framework (see pp. 37–41). However, in problematising Wacquant’s thesis by bringing it to a new geographical and temporal setting, NyC lays bare some of its limitations requiring further examination (see also Wacquant’s Foreword, p. 12). In fact, the book casts new light on two critical dimensions of that thesis. Initially, it challenges the claim that an expanding penal state may be seen as a vital, inherent component of neoliberalism (pp. 44–45, 187–189), in line with previous critics of Wacquant’s work (Mayer, 2010; O’Malley, 2014). In fact, the book ends by emphasising that the consolidation of a neoliberal rationale in the field of public policies ‘does not necessarily entail the expansion of the penal arm of the state’ (NyC, p. 204). That perspective allows González to advocate the validity of the neoliberal penality Punishment & Society 2023, Vol. 25(4) 1138–1167 © The Author(s) 2022","PeriodicalId":47626,"journal":{"name":"Punishment & Society-International Journal of Penology","volume":"25 1","pages":"1138 - 1140"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44550255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the Black Maria Tragedy, as it came to be called, several currents of Nigeria’s postcolonial history converged. They included the persistent problem of crime, the question of how much power to give men in uniform, and the problems of migration and regional integration (most of the victims came from neighboring countries). This article examines the 1980 incident not only for what it reveals about Nigeria, but about the larger workings of punishment in a postcolonial state. What techniques of punishment endured after the end of colonialism? Which of them did African governments find useful, and which did they discard? Where did the technology of the Black Maria come from, and what part did it play in the machinery of the Nigerian state? Looking beyond Nigeria, the Black Maria incident suggests that prison transport is an important part of the carceral landscape – and one that is easy to miss.","PeriodicalId":47626,"journal":{"name":"Punishment & Society-International Journal of Penology","volume":"24 1","pages":"857 - 872"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44805404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, Danish penal policy has recently taken a punitive turn. What happens when punitive policies are adopted by a penal regime built on a humane approach to punishment? To address this question, this article focuses on prison officers at Vestre prison and how they adapt to punitive political decisions and prison policies. The increased focus on security in Danish prisons is considered, together with limitations set on welfare services available to non-citizen prisoners. Examination of officers’ subjectivities at Vestre prison shows that punitive penal policies have produced an environment fraught with tensions that affect prison work, institutional culture, and the officers’ professional identity. These findings also raise questions about the shifting nature of Danish penal power.","PeriodicalId":47626,"journal":{"name":"Punishment & Society-International Journal of Penology","volume":"25 1","pages":"430 - 448"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43073083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some research findings even suggest that Asians receive the most favorable sentencing outcomes among all racial/ethnic groups. This line of research, however, has not paid attention to Asian nationality groups. Particularly, it is unclear whether there is within-race variation among offenders from different Asian countries. Using the data compiled by the United States Sentencing Commission to examine whether and how an Asian's nationality affects criminal punishment, this study focuses on sentences imposed on offenders who are Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Korean, Pakistani, and Vietnamese nationals. Results from logistic, ordinary least squares, and Tobit regression analyses indicate that with legal and extralegal factors held constant, Asians of different nationalities face varying odds of incarceration or downward departures, and they receive dissimilar sentence lengths.","PeriodicalId":47626,"journal":{"name":"Punishment & Society-International Journal of Penology","volume":"25 1","pages":"449 - 470"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43077663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While similarities between immigration detention centres and prisons make it tempting to place the testimonies from people in detention within the framework of the ‘pains of imprisonment’, I propose an alternative reading of these first-hand accounts. Rather than approaching them as sociological statements of suffering, caused by the loss of liberty, I interpret them as political statements which, in turn, demand a political response. Immigration removal centres (IRCs), these people assert, are fundamentally at odds with key values of a liberal democracy. Those detained within them are not considered to be equal members of a shared community of value; rather, their incarceration marks them out symbolically and, quite practically, as outsiders to these ideas. The pain people describe illuminates the need for a new politics of detention.","PeriodicalId":47626,"journal":{"name":"Punishment & Society-International Journal of Penology","volume":"25 1","pages":"307 - 323"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49384289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research suggests that person-centered language matters for public opinion, but prior work has not examined the effect of language on support for the social reintegration of returning citizens. The present research experimentally manipulates the effects of the language used to describe individuals released from incarceration and the race of a hypothetical returning citizen on the following outcomes: negative stereotype endorsement, attitudinal social distance, and support for reintegrative initiatives. I find that person-centered language significantly reduces stigmatization of returning citizens, which ultimately increases support for reintegrative services. These findings suggest that humanizing changes to criminal justice discourse may have the capacity to shift public opinion and create a social context more conducive to reintegration after incarceration.","PeriodicalId":47626,"journal":{"name":"Punishment & Society-International Journal of Penology","volume":"25 1","pages":"471 - 499"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43464197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, legacies of control, forms of exile, status reductions, hierarchical social stratifications and other like forms come together in robust modes of containment suitable for managing ‘marginal’ and ‘suspect’ populations. We draw on ethnographic empirical work with two hunting nomadic groups in India by two of the co-authors who are working with the Kheria Sabar community in Purulia district in West Bengal and Pardhi community in Mumbai. The latter were subject to notification under the notorious Criminal Tribes Act 1871, marking them out as ‘criminal tribes’ until their de-notification shortly after India's independence in 1947, yet the Kheria Sabars too feel its effects. We draw attention here to the continual negotiation and (re)fabrication of both state and citizen at the point of their everyday contact. Our notion of southern penal spaces contributes to penal theory by breaking from northern societies’ focus on institutional carcerality and capturing instead both the variety and the dispersal of penal and punitive practices found in postcolonial societies of the south.","PeriodicalId":47626,"journal":{"name":"Punishment & Society-International Journal of Penology","volume":"23 1","pages":"675 - 696"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44312585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
