Focusing on the historical evolution of risk control measures, this book explores how anxieties surrounding risk have reshaped criminal law and punishment since the 1980s in countries like the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. It highlights the emergence of the "security sanction" and employs criminological and sociological perspectives to analyze the broader implications for contemporary society and criminal justice systems. The work delves into the interplay between societal fears and legal transformations, offering insights into modern punitive practices.
