Part 3

PATTERNS OF PENALITY?

* * *

In Part 1 we saw that our selected countries may be differentiated according to their political, social and economic arrangements, their material circumstances and also their ideological predilections. We argued that, at least in general terms, it is possible to relate the different types of political, economic and-social cultures to which each country belongs to significant penological differences between them. Thus, the countries we have been examining offer striking contrasts with regard to their penal ideologies and the schools of penal thought to which they subscribe, the nature of their penality and also their specific forms of penal practice, including the degrees of punitiveness with which they are each associated. In this part of the book we extend this analysis thematically by selecting two more specific sets of penological issues – youth justice and prison privatization – and considering the extent to which they may display similar ‘patterns of penality’.
