Download or read book What Everyone in Britain Should Know about Crime and Punishment written by David Wilson and published by Blackstone Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work stems from frustration: a frustration born of successive governments' insistence that prison works; a frustration born of the knowledge of the realities of crime and punishment, and lastly, the kind of society we are becoming when we continue to police and incarcerate at the rate we do. Since the publication of the first edition a real debate has begun about the war on drugs, and whilst we have continued to imprison at a rate higher than our European neighbours this book remains one of the few voices raised in opposition.
