The Prisoners' Dilemma: Political Economy and Punishment in Contemporary Democracies - The Hamlyn Lectures
Lacey, Nicola, FBA (London School of Economics and Political Science)
Lacey argues that harsh 'penal populism' is not the inevitable fate of all contemporary democracies. Globalisation has failed to eradicate all the differences between national institutional systems, and it is only through understanding the institutional preconditions for a tolerant criminal justice system that we can think about reforming particular systems.
