While this view is common wisdom, it is wrong. In Breaking the Pendulum, Philip Goodman, Joshua Page, and Michelle Phelps systematically debunk the pendulum perspective, showing that it distorts how and why criminal justice changes. The pendulum model blinds us to the blending of penal orientations, policies, and practices, as well as the struggle between actors that shapes laws, institutions, and how we think about crime, punishment, and related issues. Through a re-analysis of more than two hundred years of penal history, starting with the rise of penitentiaries in the 19th Century and ending with ongoing efforts to roll back mass incarceration, the authors offer an alternative approach to conceptualizing penal development. Their agonistic perspective posits that struggle is the motor force of criminal justice history. Punishment expands, contracts, and morphs because of contestation between real people in real contexts, not a mechanical "swing" of the pendulum. This alternative framework is far more accurate and empowering than metaphors that ignore or downplay the importance of struggle in shaping criminal justice. This clearly written, engaging book is an invaluable resource for teachers, students, and scholars seeking to understand the past, present, and future of American criminal justice. By demonstrating the central role of struggle in generating major transformations, Breaking the Pendulum encourages combatants to keep fighting to change the system. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States. 650 0 $a Corrections $z United States. 650 7 $a 86.41 criminal law: general. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077608070 $2 bcl 650 7 $a LAW $x Sentencing. $x Sentencing. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW $x Criminal Procedure. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Criminology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Corrections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00880260 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 $a United States. $0 (NL-LeOCL)078939836 $2 gtt 650 7 $a 86.41 criminal law: general. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077608070 $2 nbc 700 1 $a Page, Joshua, $e author. 700 1 $a Phelps, Michelle, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015050.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=31C73ED286E611EB80D4A9DB35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
