Offering a holistic and contemporary account of the penal system in England and Wales, this accessible new textbook considers the full breadth of the criminal justice system, going beyond prisons to cover other punishments such as out-of-court disposals and community penalties, as well as issues pertaining to rehabilitation and reintegration. Penal policy and practice sits within a fast changing world, with constant alterations to policy and resulting practice. Helping students to understanding this ever-changing environment, this book not only provides a strong foundation in penal theory but also has a strong focus on actual practice, drawing on a number of interviews with people who work within or for agencies associated with the penal system, as well as accounts of prison visits that help to build an accurate picture of current prison life. Packed with helpful pedagogical features throughout, including Spotlight profiles of the penal system in countries across the globe, the text also covers a range of specific offenders, examining not just white adult men but women offenders, children and young people and Black and minority ethnic (BAME) groups.

For students in England and Wales studying Penology, Punishment and Prisons at undergraduate or postgraduate level, and on Criminology, Criminal Justice, Law or Social Science degree programmes, this textbook serves as the ideal guide to the topic.
