This book examines the nature of relations between penal reform campaigners, journalists and policymakers at the crime-media nexus. While penal reformers have traditionally relied on the language of humanitarianism to influence the direction of policy, there remains an array of political and cultural sticking points.
Dr Gemma Birkett is Lecturer in Criminology at City, University of London, UK.
