Beschreibung:
Laura Piacentini is Professor of Criminology and Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland. A trained Russian speaker, she has been researching Russian prisons since 1994. She is widely recognised, through grant capture, articles and books, as a leading international expert on Russian penal culture. Her work is multi-disciplinary and she is a passionate advocate for innovative research methods. She is a penal abolitionist.
In outlining the online expressions of penal life, this book disrupts the conventional human encounters that underpin empirical criminological scholarship on prisons because, figuratively speaking, prisons in Russia are de-nesting from their institutional moorings and borders.
