Despite its dramatic proliferation and diversification in recent decades, supervisory forms of punishment in the community (like probation, parole and unpaid work) have been largely invisible in scholarly and public discussion of criminal justice and its development in late-modern societies. The long-standing pre-occupation with the prison, and more recent concerns about 'mass incarceration' have allowed the emergence of 'mass supervision' to remain in the shadows. Pervasive Punishment insists that we remedy this neglect and exemplifies how we can do so. Drawing on thirty years of personal, practice and research experiences, it offers a compelling and rich account of the scale and social distribution of mass supervision, of the processes by which it has been legitimated, and of how it is experienced by those subject to it. Its innovative approach invites readers to look at, listen to and imagine punishment beyond the prison, through the use of innovative and creative methods including photography, song-writing and story-telling to explore and to represent 'mass supervision'. By so doing, this book offers new insights into how and why combining social science and creative practice can help develop a different kind of democratic dialogue about contentious social issues like crime and punishment. Though focused on the UK and the USA, the methods used in and analysis developed in this book will be of interest to scholars, students and practitioners elsewhere.

Most of us think of punishment as an ugly display of power. But punishment also tells us something about the ideals and aspirations of a people and their government. How a state punishes reveals whether or not it is confident in its own legitimacy and sovereignty. Punishment and Political Order examines the questions raised by the state’s exercise of punitive power—from what it is about human psychology that desires sanction and order to how the state can administer pain while calling for justice. Keally McBride's book demonstrates punishment's place at the core of political administration and the stated ideals of the polity.

Das Buch setzt sich exemplarisch und kritisch mit aktuellen (sozial-)pädagogischen Debatten über Grenzen, Grenzsetzung und Strafe in der Heimerziehung auseinander. Ihre wesentlichen Argumentations- und (De-)Legitimationsfiguren sowie ihre Engführungen und Blindstellen werden diskutiert. Im Rahmen einer empirischen Fallstudie werden dann zentrale Dimensionen, Parameter und organisationsspezifische Rahmenbedingungen der Grenzbearbeitung herausgearbeitet und in einen systematischen Zusammenhang mit den aktuellen Debatten gestellt. The book deals with current debates in Social Pedagogy on issues of setting limits, doing border and punishment in residential care. Their main arguments and (de-)legitimating figures as well as their narrowness of perspective and blind spots are discussed. As part of an empirical case study, key dimensions of doing border are then worked out and placed in a systematic relationship with the current debates.
