  • John Pratt

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of an emerging and important trend in modern penality, the punishment of persistent offending. It argues that what lies behind this new development is a merger of the right to protection (itself an overarching theme of penal policy) and the implications for risk management of shifting political rationalities in the last two decades.
