The Culture of Control: Crime and Social Order in Contemporary Society
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: University of Chicago Press
- Publish date: 01/01/2001
Garland explains how the new policies of crime and punishment, welfare and security -- and the changing class, race, and gender relations that underpin them -- are linked to the fundamental problem of governing contemporary societies, as states, corporations, and private citizens grapple with a volatile economy and a culture that combines expanded personal freedom with relaxed social controls. It is the risky, unfixed character of modern life that underlies our accelerating concern with control and crime control in particular. It is not just crime that has changed; society has changed as well, and this transformation has reshaped criminological thought, public policy, and the cultural meaning of crime and criminals. David Garland's The Culture of Control offers a brilliant guide to this process and its still-reverberating consequences.
