Early Release in Comparative Historical Perspective
Keyword(s):
The chapter outlines the central concerns of this book. It builds the case for the study of early release in comparative historical perspective and highlights the important, but often overlooked, role early release has played within the criminal justice apparatus of the liberal democratic state. It goes on to locate the evolution of early release within a wider context of policy change and, using a case study approach, identifies three critical periods of reform that exemplify the evolving ideas, trade-offs, and political controversies that marked the evolution of early release in England and Wales between 1960 and 1995.
