Routledge Library Editions: Prison and Prisoners : 18 Volume Set

This 18-volume set has titles originally published between 1934 and 1992.

Prison as a form of punishment dates back as far as the Romans and has evolved over time into the institution we see today.

This collection covers a whole range of issues such as how prisons are run; how imprisonment affects the prisoners themselves; the impact on their families and children; what happens on their release, including employment, social-skills and aftercare.

Still an ongoing topic of discussion today, this collection will be of interest to all those interested in criminology and particularly the prison system.
