"A major achievement ... in range and in analysis it is quite the
best thing to have appeared in the area for many years."
Sociological Review
"A model worthy of emulation and a challenge to all, regardless
of theoretical, methodological or ideological persuasion."
American Journal of Sociology
"A rich, provocative, and at times brilliant analysis of social
control, punishment and classification. Cohen's use of historical,
theoretical and empirical description, his unique vision and
objective argumentation, and his compassion and involvement with
the issues make this an essential text for anyone interested in
social control... Cohen has permanently broadened and illuminated
the discourse in this field."
Law and Society Review
