Focusing on the evolution of risk management in criminal law, the book explores how societal anxieties have reshaped punishment and legal measures since the 1980s in countries like the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. It employs historical, criminological, and sociological perspectives to analyze the emergence of the "security sanction" and its implications for modern society and criminal justice systems, highlighting the interplay between risk perception and legal frameworks.
