Breaking the Pendulum: The Long Struggle Over Criminal Justice
Goodman, Philip (Assistant Professor of Sociology, Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Toronto Mississauga)
In Breaking the Pendulum, Philip Goodman, Joshua Page, and Michelle Phelps debunk the pendulum model of American criminal justice, arguing that it distorts how and why punishment changes. From the birth of the penitentiary through recent reforms, the authors show how the struggle of players in the penal field shapes punishment.
