Contrasting Prisoners' Rights

by Liora Lazarus

Contrasting Prisoners' Rights Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This volume aims to provoke reflection on the English conception and treatment of prisoners' rights, through juxtaposition with the conception of prisoners' rights in Germany. First, the German and English understandings of prisoners' legal status are examined; secondly these understandings

are placed against the background of broader social, political, and legal factors; and thirdly, the methodological problems of comparative law are addressed.
