| Sumario: | From nationalisation to privatisation, or bringing capitalism to the people -- The free market panacea, and putting the state up for sale -- Transatlantic crossing, or the appeal of American know-how in the age of risk, responsibilisation, and rising crime -- Public sector outsourcing, the contract culture and the myth of the regulatory state -- The private and public police, or there and back -- The public and private police, or back to the future -- Prison privatisation and the foundation of public privilege -- Prison privatisation and normalisation in the neoliberal state: between dispersal of decency and diffusion of duty -- The ascendency of the business ideal and the marketisation of offender services -- Interrogating the failed probation experiment, or it wasn't broken so why did they -- Try and fix it? "Privatising Criminal Justice explores the social, cultural, and political context of privatisation in the criminal justice sector. In recent years, the criminal justice sector has made various strategic partnerships with the private sector, exemplified by initiatives within the police, the prison system, and offender services. This has seen unprecedented growth in the past thirty years, and a veritable explosion under the tenure of the Coalition government in the United Kingdom. This book highlights key areas of domestic and global concern and illustrates, with detail, case studies of important developments. It connects the study of criminology and criminal justice to the wider study of public policy, government institutions, and political decision making. In doing so, Privatising Criminal Justice provides a theoretical and practical framework for evaluating collaborative public and private sector response to social problems at the beginning of the twenty-first century. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, criminal justice, sociology, politics and all those interested in how privatisation has shaped the contemporary criminal justice system"-- |
