Beskrivning
This volume contains an Open Access ChapterAs a peripheral state within English-speaking criminology, Ireland is often overlooked in mainstream Anglophone theories of punitiveness and penal transformation. This edited collection addresses this deficit by bringing together leading scholars on Irish penal history and theory to make a case for Ireland’s wider theoretical relevance.Together, these chapters show in rich detail the trends and debates that have surround patterns of punishment in Ireland since the formation of the State in 1922. However, by being about twentieth century Irish penal history, the volume inherently foregrounds often absent perspectives in criminology and punishment, such as gender, postcoloniality, religion, rurality, and carcerality beyond the criminal justice system. This is more than a collection of Irish criminology, therefore; the social analysis of Irish penal history is undertaken as a contribution towards southernising criminology. The authors each seek to engage criminology in a wider epistemological re-imagining of what is meant by punitiveness, penal culture, and 'Anglophone' penal history.Opening up new avenues of exploration and collaboration, and showing how researchers might look beyond the usual problems, refine the mainstream trends, and rework the obvious questions, this collection demonstrates how the Irish perspective remains relevant for international researchers interested in punishment and history.

Recensioner i media

This exciting volume leverages the unique trajectory of Irish criminology’s 21st century emergence and its distinctive commitment to historical inquiry to raise important questions for criminology as a field about what might have been and, moving forward, what could be. Editors Lynsey Black, Louise Brangan, and Deirdre Healy invite readers to reconsider assumptions and received theories that have dominated a field whose tunnel vision for the US and UK has weakened our historical and criminological imaginations. Instead, by immersing themselves in the history of criminological theory and penal practices (broadly construed) of an under-explored nation, they observe large and small differences that challenge our conventional expectations and that draw our focus to the importance of gender, religion, rural settings, and ongoing colonial legacies for understanding penality and how these considerations can play different roles from those we’ve come to expect from the standard national case studies. Histories of Punishment and Social Control in Ireland is a thus contribution not only to Irish Criminology, but to both broader Anglophone and global discussions about criminology, southern criminology, criminological history, punishment and society.
