About the Authors
Bruce A. Arrigo is professor of crime, law, and society in the
Department of Criminal Justice at the University of North Carolina,
Charlotte.
Dragan Milovanovic is professor in the Justice Studies Department
at Northeastern Illinois University.
Arrigo (Univ. of North Carolina, Charlotte) and Milovanovic
(Northeastern Illinois Univ.) provide a provocative and critical
examination of the US penal system. Highly theoretical
(postmodern), . . . it is nonetheless very well argued.
Recommended.
*CHOICE, November 2009*
This is an important book....The great strength of the book is that
it refrains from trying to offer a comprehensive theory of
penological institutions and their effects, and instead attempts to
ignite debate as well as a particular praxis.
*Punishment & Society*
This book is, in my view, quite simply the most important
penological text since Discipline and Punish. It should be read by
all involved or implicated in the penological enterprise, and that
means every one of us.
*Social and Legal Studies*
By developing 'constitutive penology,' Arrigo and Milovanovic offer
a sophisticated theoretical foundation to an emerging anti-penal
harm movement critical of the 30 years prison boom and mass
incarceration.... Revolution in Penology offers a fresh perspective
on penology, develops a new theoretical perspective on the prison
experience, and deepens the critique of penal harm.
