Sommario/riassunto

L'historiographie occidentale a longtemps considéré le royaume de Jérusalem comme le centre névralgique de la présence latine au Levant, reléguant les possessions d'Antioche, d'Édesse et de Tripoli au statut de simples annexes. Pourtant, la principauté d'Antioche, fondée au début du XIIe siècle par des Normands de l'Italie du sud, a connu des développements historiques qui lui sont bel et bien propres. Contrairement au royaume de Jérusalem, peuplé majoritairement de musulmans, elle s'établit...

Sommario/riassunto

Prison building has moved from the margins to the mainstream of our penal politics. In recent years the UK Government has invested billions in new prison building and the main political parties are currently



locked into a penal arms race over who can, and who will, build the most additional prison places in England and Wales. Prison building is now widely lauded as the definitive policy solution to the current prisons crisis and yet, this remains an elusive sphere of penal policymaking. Academic research remains in its infancy, and we still know very little about how these large investment decisions are made, by whom and for what reasons. In seeking to shine a light on this subterranean and largely closed sphere of contemporary penal policymaking, this book presents the first systematic study of prison building programmes in England and Wales since the mid-1990’s punitive turn. Drawing upon extensive archival research, 28 exploratory qualitative interviews, publicly recorded data, historic satellite imagery and other mapping techniques this book has three main aims: (1) to provide an authoritative historical account of prison building activity in England and Wales since the mid-1990s punitive turn, (2) to explain why successive governments have chosen to invest in new prison building programmes and (3) to reflect upon how the prisons we build - functionally, architecturally, geographically – continue to shape our politics long after they have been constructed. Thomas Guiney is Assistant Professor of Criminology in the School of Sociology and Social Policy at University of Nottingham, UK. Tom has published widely on the politics of punishment and recently published an edited collection Parole Futures: Rationalities, Institutions and Practices with Hart Bloomsbury (Oñati International Series in Law and Society). Tom sits on the Editorial Board of the British Journal of Criminology and is a regular contributor to public debates on criminal justice.
