Penal Policy
England and Wales now imprisons a greater proportion of its population than any other country in Western Europe, the population in custody having doubled in 12 years. Yet the prison population continues to grow.
The criminal justice system more generally, including probation and policing, have been subject to dramatic change over recent decades that have raised fundamental questions including the appropriate role of the state and the private sector in criminal justice, the role of public opinion as a driver of criminal justice policy and the underlying policy factors that have led to the present situation.
The importance of this policy area is illustrated by the high-profile 'crises' and 'scandals' that regularly erupt in the media, including issues relating to prisoner votes, the release of indeterminately-sentenced prisoners, and the failings of private companies to deliver criminal justice services.
This module seeks to cast a spotlight on this troublesome area of law and public policy. It draws upon literature from law, criminology, history, political science and some comparative material to ask where our contemporary penal policy comes from and to speculate on possible futures. -

Penology
Penology is the study of punishment, in prison and in the community. Students are encouraged to think critically about the multiple purposes and debatable effectiveness of our contemporary modes of punishment, and to understand why this 'end product' of the criminal justice system has become, in recent decades, such a politically contested issue. Questions which CRIM3001 poses include: What is it society hopes to achieve when it punishes offenders? If the answer seems obvious, why do some theorists argue punishment has 'hidden functions' and why do approaches to punishment vary between countries? Why does, for example, the United States continue to
use the death penalty, while Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have pioneered an approach known as restorative justice? Is either method more successful, in deterring or rehabilitating offenders, than our reliance on prison and probation? What is it like to go to, and spend years living in, prison? Is a term of imprisonment, or should it be, primarily a painful or positive experience? Do some categories of prisoners - women, for example, or sexual offenders - experience prison differently, and if so, does it matter? How does one successfully resettle in the community after a lengthy custodial sentence? -
