Reviews for The Culture of Control: Crime and Social Order in Contemporary Society
Garland's book is more than just an important contribution to criminology. It is also a major work of social analysis, which deserves to be read more widely...his account of changes in crime control also provides one of the clearest and most convincing characterizations of contemporary society in general.
