This chapter will explore four developments within the CJS system that occurred, from the 1990s onwards, under Conservative and New Labour administrations - Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP), Joint Enterprise and the whole life tariff. The chapter begins with a discussion of the influence of Left Realism on New Labour and how New Public Management led to significant changes across the CJS.It begins with a discussion the reform of the Mental Health Act (MHA) and the notion of Dangerous Severe Personality Disorder (DSPD). Left Realism emerged within criminology a decade before the election of New Labour. However, it is possible to see its impact on some key notions of New Labour policy. Left realist were ultimately critical of the way that the New Labour approached questions of community and crime.

The Subject

The review considers A. Rudalyov’s book 4 Shots [ 4 vystrela ], devoted to the ‘new realism’, a trend in 2000s Russian literature, and more specifically, works of four ‘new realists’: Z. Prilepin, R. Senchin, S. Shargunov, and G. Sadulaev. The reviewer criticizes the author for an incomplete and biased presentation of ‘new realism’, which had been a focus of intense discussions among literary critics and scholars for over a decade. The same flaw blights the descriptions of the four chapters’ respective protagonists: Prilepin, Senchin, Shargunov, and Sadulaev. Rudalyov ended up writing a panegyric, albeit with very sparse language, mainly by repetition of flattering epithets from the press. He failed, however, to address the discussion of the ‘new realism’ by critics or supply a review of literary theoretical research on the subject. Therefore, the reviewer finds the book lacking in any historical-literary and philological value.
