Abstract
In this, the last chapter of the book, four tasks are attempted. A brief summary of the key arguments of the work is provided. Some of the limitations of the book are considered. Key research questions and topics raised by the text are set out. Finally, the ‘what is to be done’ question is addressed about how to achieve an affordable, emotionally satisfying yet humane and rational penal policy which enjoys maximum legitimacy with staff, the public and offenders.
