Currency of Justice - Fines and Damages in Consumer Societies

Zusatztext "This small book is immensely satisfying.  Like Jane Austin carving exquisitely on a small piece of ivory, Pat O’Malley has taken a sensitive and expert chisel to the very compacted meanings of an overlooked slice of life – monetary regulation via fines, compensation and damages. In so doing, he has also opened up a treasure chest of new conceptions of monetary justice. It seems likely that The Currency of Justice will become a classic in the sociologies of regulation, politics and crime. Meanwhile, it should be compulsory reading for students of the changing relationships between money, justice and politics, and a sheer joy-to-read for any and every one fascinated by the way we live now."  – Pat Carlen, The British Journal of Criminology, vol. 49 no. 6 (November 2009) Klappentext Examines the differing rationalities! aims and assumptions built into money's deployment in diverse legal fields and sanctions. This book explores the view that contemporary governance is less concerned with disciplining individuals and more concerned with regulating distributions and flows of behaviours and the harms and costs linked with these. Zusammenfassung The Currency of Justice examines the broad implications of the ‘monetization of justice’ as more and more of life is regulated through this single medium. Money not only links together legal sanctions, but links legal sanctions to the much broader array of techniques for governing everyday life. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Money and Monetary Sanctions 2.
