RT Article T1 History of privatized corrections JF Criminology & public policy VO 18 IS 2 SP 241 OP 267 A1 Harding, Richard W. 1939- A2 Rynne, John A2 Thomsen, Lisa LA English YR 2019 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1667516426 AB In this historical review of prison privatization, we identify interconnected events in the UnitedStates, Australia, and the United Kingdom and their dis-tinctiveness from other nations. The political and economic catalysts for the post-1980 reemergence of privatization arealso analyzed. Privatization exists on a continuum fromancillary service delivery to full custodial operations and management. As privatization seems to have lost some ofits momentum, it is unclear whether its advent has produced the intended system-wide improvements.
