This book blends philosophical, sociological and legal scholarship, and draws upon theoretical and empirical methodologies. In so doing, it succeeds on a num- ber of levels. It effectively reveals the vacuity of selected policies and official statements that lay claim to promoting respect in police and prison practices, thereby exposing a 'respect deficit' in these institutions. It provides a convincing critique of the moral limitations inherent in the dominance of instrumental objectives that flourish in an environment governed by managerialist imperatives. And it also makes a persuasive normative contribution to the debate about how state power should be exercised in policing and prison practices.
