Social Control and the State

by Stanley Cohen, Andrew Scull

"In the last decade, much of the most exciting new work in both history and sociology has concentrated on a perennial and provoking the relationship between the modern state and the apparatus of social control. Andrew Scull and Stan Cohen have now brought together a dozen articles by specialist contributers in this impressive survey of the ways in which society maintains conformity and responds to deviance."
