Its analyses powerfully illuminate many of the central problems of contemporary penal and welfare policy, showing how these problems grew out of political struggles and theoretical debates that occurred in the first years of the 20th century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In conducting this investigation, David Garland developed a method of research which combines detailed historical and textual analysis with a broader sociological vision, thereby synthesizing two forms of analysis that are more often developed in isolation. The resulting genealogy will interest everyone who works in this field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"... a brilliant book ... the main arguments of \u003ci\u003ePunishment and Welfare\u003c\/i\u003e are undoubtedly some of the most tenacious and exciting to emerge from the field of criminology in many years.\" \u003cbr\u003e Piers Bierne, \u003ci\u003e Contemporary Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"... one of the most important pieces of work ever to emerge in British criminology.
