PALGRAVE STUDIES IN PRISONS AND PENOLOGY HUMA...

This collection considers human rights and incarceration in relation to the liberal-democratic
states of Australia  New Zealand and the UK. It presents original case-study material on groups
that are disproportionately affected by incarceration  including indigenous populations 
children  women  those with disabilities  and refugees or 'non-citizens'. The book considers
how and why human rights are eroded  but also how they can be built and sustained through
social  creative  cultural  legal  political and personal acts. It establishes the need for
pragmatic reforms as well as the abolition of incarceration. Contributors consider what has  or
might  work to secure rights for incarcerated populations  and they critically analyse human
rights in their legal  socio-cultural  economic and political contexts. In covering this ground
the book presents a re-invigorated vision of human rights in relation to incarceration. After
all  human rights are not static principles  they have to be developed  fought over and engaged
with.
