This two-volume, edited collection lays the groundwork for an international exploration of incarceration and generation. Volume I explores an array of experiences, dynamics, cultures, interventions and impacts (in its different forms) of incarceration in specific generations: childhood, youth and emerging adulthood, adulthood and older age. It covers topics such as: the expansion of the penal landscape; the abolition of measures involving deprivation of liberty regarding children, the problem of unaccompanied migrant children; the incarceration of young adults and adults, exploring its impacts within and beyond incarceration; and the consequences of imprisoning older populations. Volume II examines intergenerational relations issues within different contexts of incarceration. Both volumes cover a range of geographic, judicial, and administrative contexts of incarceration from contributors across a range of subjects. This collection discusses public policies and the role of the state and the citizen, in particular when a citizen is deprived of liberty. It speaks to academics in criminology, sociology, psychology, and law, and to practitioners and policymakers interested in incarceration.
