520 | |a Most of us think of punishment as an ugly display of power. But punishment also tells us something about the ideals and aspirations of a people and their government. How a state punishes reveals whether or not it is confident in its own legitimacy and sovereignty.

Keally McBride's book demonstrates punishment's place at the core of political administration and the stated ideals of the polity. | ||
