economics of punishment  

Definición

  • David Garland has argued that “punishment is a complex set of interlinked processes and institutions rather than a uniform object or event” (1990: 16). In the context of contemporary criminal justice, governmental officials activate these processes and institutions in response to crimes and victimization.
