商品描述

This book critiques the practices of managerialism and their effects on those who live and work in prisons. It draws upon ethnographic research conducted in English prisons over a 15 year period, written by a former prison governor. Since the last years of the 20th century, public services in England have increasingly adopted managerial approaches with an architecture of target setting, surveillance and assertive line management. The book examines how this system was created and then evolved during the period of austerity after 2010 and was disrupted during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020-22. It proposes an alternative approach, re-energising the agency of prison managers, reinvigorating a more localised approach, and developing measures that address the lived experience of people in prison. This book will be of particular relevance to prison managers and policy makers, researchers interested in criminology, the sociology of prisons, and the sociology of work, as well as to post-graduate students exploring prison work.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書批評了管理主義的實踐及其對生活和工作在監獄中的人們的影響。它基於一位前監獄長在英國監獄進行的為期15年的民族誌研究。自20世紀末以來，英國的公共服務越來越多地採用管理方法，建立了目標設定、監控和積極的直線管理架構。本書探討了這一系統是如何創建的，並在2010年以後的緊縮時期如何演變，以及在2020至2022年的冠狀病毒大流行期間如何受到干擾。它提出了一種替代方法，重新激發監獄管理者的主動性，振興更本地化的做法，並制定針對監獄中人們生活經驗的措施。本書對監獄管理者和政策制定者、對犯罪學、監獄社會學和工作社會學感興趣的研究者，以及探索監獄工作的研究生特別相關。
