CRIM 706

Special Topic: Critical Political Economy of Mass Incarceration

Description

In the latter half of the 20th century, the mode of punishment in the capitalist world transformed into one based on imprisonment on an ever-increasing scale. Focusing on the experience of New Zealand, this course applies new developments in Marxist economic science to explain how mass incarceration arose, why capitalism requires it, and how it can be destroyed.
