The Politics of Imprisonment seeks to document and explain the chronic long-term differences in American crime policy. It argues that the American states responded in radically different ways to rising crime, social upheaval, war, and declining trust in government due to the variation, complexity, and nuances of American democracy. It examines how the democratic process and social trust shape penal sanctioning in the United States. The research shows that higher levels of civic engagement tend to support milder punishments whereas lower levels tend to support more coercive criminal justice policies. The book challenges a taken-for-granted assumption about the democratic process and punishment. It shows that the apparent link between public participation, punitiveness and harsh justice is not only historically contingent but dependent upon specific institutional contexts and patterns of civic engagement, patterns which tend to vary within the US and across liberal democracies. But perhaps more importantly, the research suggests the opposite relationship: increased democratization can support and sustain less coercive penal regimes. By comparing state-level imprisonment variation and state-level democratic traditions, this book highlights the importance of place, locality, and context in a globalizing social world.

The attention devoted to the unprecedented levels of imprisonment in the United States obscure an obvious but understudied aspect of criminal justice: there is no consistent punishment policy across the U.S. It is up to individual states to administer their criminal justice systems, and the differences among them are vast. For example, while some states enforce mandatory minimum sentencing, some even implementing harsh and degrading practices, others rely on community sanctions. What accounts for these differences? The Politics of Imprisonment seeks to document and explain variation in American penal sanctioning, drawing out the larger lessons for America''s overreliance on imprisonment. Grounding her study in a comparison of how California, Washington, and New York each developed distinctive penal regimes in the late 1960s and early 1970s--a critical period in the history of crime control policy and a time of unsettling social change--Vanessa Barker concretely demonstrates that subtle but crucial differences in political institutions, democratic traditions, and social trust shape the way American states punish offenders. Barker argues that the apparent link between public participation, punitiveness, and harsh justice is not universal but dependent upon the varying institutional contexts and patterns of civic engagement within the U.S. and across liberal democracies.A bracing examination of the relationship between punishment and democracy, The Politics of Imprisonment not only suggests that increased public participation in the political process can support and sustain less coercive penal regimes, but also warns that it is precisely a lack of civic engagement that may underpin mass incarceration in the United States.

In late summer 2015, Sweden embarked on one of the largest self-described humanitarian efforts in its history, opening its borders to 163,000 asylum seekers fleeing the war in Syria. Six months later this massive effort was over. On January 4, 2016, Sweden closed its border with Denmark. This closure makes a startling reversal of Sweden’s open borders to refugees and contravenes free movement in the Schengen Area, a founding principle of the European Union. What happened? This book sets out to explain this reversal.In her new and compelling book, Vanessa Barker explores the Swedish case study to challenge several key paradigms for understanding penal order in the twenty-first century and makes an important contribution to our understanding of punishment and welfare states. She questions the dominance of neoliberalism and political economy as the main explanation for the penalization of others, migrants and foreign nationals, and develops an alternative theoretical framework based on the internal logic of the welfare state and democratic theory about citizenship, incorporation, and difference, paying particular attention to questions of belonging, worthiness, and ethnic and gender hierarchies. Her book develops the concept of penal nationalism as an important form of penal power in the twenty-first century, providing a bridge between border control and punishment studies.

Den sorterande ordningsmakten : studier av etnicitet och polisiär kontroll

Polisforskare talar idag om ”den utökade polisfamiljen”. Den traditionella polisen kompletteras av kommunala, privata och frivilliga organisationer eller grupperingar. Samtidigt står etniska minoriteter alltmer i centrum för samhällets kontrollapparat. Etnicitet har blivit en delikat fråga för myndigheter.Antologin Den sorterande ordningsmakten uppmärksammar skärningspunkten mellan dessa två processer. På vilka sätt är personers etnicitet föremål för övervakning och polisiär kontroll från polis, vaktbolag, trygghetsarbetare och andra? Vad innebär etnicitet i ett samhälle präglat av en mångfald av polisiära åtgärder, så kallad plural policing?Via olika empiriska undersökningar diskuteras såväl de kontrollerade som kontrollörerna. Ibland utövar ungdomar kontroll i relation till poliser eller ungdomsvårdare, ibland uppfattar sig poliser från etniska minoriteter som övervakade av sina kolleger. Även forskare kan uppfatta sig som kontrollerade i sitt sätt att undersöka och skriva om etnicitet.Antologins författare argumenterar för vikten av att inkludera vidare och mera diffusa former av social kontroll än vad som är gängse i samhällsvetenskaplig forskning. Först då kan vi förstå hur idéer om etniska skillnader understöder samhällets strafftänkande och kriminalrättspraktiker.Den sorterande ordningsmakten innehåller ingående analyser av det som ibland kallas etnisk profilering, och kan läsas som en bakgrund till den aktuella problematiken kring REVA-projektet; REVA behandlas emellertid inte explicit i boken.
