In his provocative, now classic book, Graeme Newman makes a powerful, persuasive argument for restricting prison terms to the hard core of repeat offenders and truly violent criminals. For most crimes and criminals, the temporary physical pain of a carefully controlled electric shock could well be a cheaper, more effective, more meaningful punishment. And it is more humane than years spent facing the random terror and violence of prison.ˇThis is not a call for cruelty or barbarism. Some will disagree with Newman, others will applaud his courage. This is a book of proposals, a manifesto urging us to radically rethink the meaning of law, order, and justice, and the role of punishment in the protection of society. Few will be unmoved by the force of its argument. Criminology Law Social Sciences Crime
