| Summary: | Hudson (criminal justice, social work, and social policy, U. of Northumbria at Newcastle) surveys how various countries are responding to overcrowding in the prisons, rising crime rates, mandated longer sentences, international crime, and other facets of modern life. She finds a widespread movement to make the punishment fit the crime and to allocate scarce prison space to its best use; that different crimes are considered worst in different countries; and that despite all the policy changes and the variations between countries, everywhere the poor still go to prison and the rich stay at home.
