Punishing the Other

Punishing the Other draws on the work of Zygmunt Bauman to discuss contemporary discourses and practices of punishment and criminalization. Bringing together some of the most exciting international scholars, both established and emerging, this book engages with Bauman¿s thesis of the social production of immorality in the context of criminalization and social control and addresses processes of `othering¿ through a range of contemporary case studies situated in various cultural, political and social contexts.
