Summary
A book by Nils Christie that proposes severely restricting the pain the State inflicts as a means of social control. It argues that, if pain must be caused, it should not have manipulative aims and should resemble the social form it takes in the face of profound affliction. It reviews Beccaria and today's penal scholars, especially Scandinavian ones, and relates the size of the State to the harshness of punishments. It is useful for those studying the critique of punishment.
