Revolution in Penology is a thoroughly original and thought-provoking critique of penal harm, the recursive pains of imprisonment cycle, and the normalization of violence. Relying on selected insights derived from continental philosophy, cultural studies, and chaos theory, internationally renowned social theorists, Bruce A. Arrigo and Dragan Milovanovic, deconstruct the human agency/social structure duality that sustains the prison form, its parts and segments understood as correctional principles/practices, and the prison industrial complex that is informed by and stands above them all.
Includes bibliographical references(p. 179-198) and indexes.
From constitutive criminology to constitutive penology -- Constitutive penology -- The phenomenology of penal harm -- Constitutive penology and the "pains of imprisonment" -- The shadow and stranger in constitutive penology.

CHOICE Review
Arrigo (Univ. of North Carolina, Charlotte) and Milovanovic (Northeastern Illinois Univ.) provide a provocative and critical examination of the US penal system. Highly theoretical (postmodern), somewhat obscure in language and tone, it is nonetheless very well argued. "Constitutive theory acknowledges that the principal means by which structural or organizational forces are given expressive form is through language, and it is through the spoken or written word that the dialectical play of meanings (and their differential effects) embedded in these phenomena receives (circumscribed) narrative coherence," the authors write. This social constructionist perspective, while well established in various parts of sociology, has been late in coming to the disciplines of criminology and criminal justice. Through political and institutional discourse and interests, society has created a criminal and penal monster that is far more dialogue than substance. The resulting tragedy is that society is trapped in the fear of "expert knowledge," avoiding conclusions that might result in greater satisfaction for the victims, the institutionalized, and the public.
