520    A collection of writings by Dr. David Scott building on his work teaching criminology for over 20 years. Against imprisonment includes topics such as the changing face of the prison, justifications for punishment, prison violence and the shortcomings of prisons and mega-prisons. Noticeably against the current political obsession with increasing incarceration, this book is a wake-up call for all those who feel the use of imprisonment is failing to achieve a reduction in crime. A compelling analysis of why imprisonment does not work for most offenders which considers the thoughts of some leading abolitionists and challenges punitive rhetoric -- |cSource other than Library of Congress.
