Roundtable: Routledge Handbook on European Penology – III. Transversal European developments

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Abstract

In this roundtable, we look into some transversal European developments that are linked to the European institutional framework – the European Union and the Council of Europe – which have had a major impact on both European penal policies and European penology : the criminalisation of migrants; the resurgence of terrorist attacks; and the increased impact of human rights as both a shield against and a motor for increased punitivity.
Each topic is dealt with through an individual presentation, followed by a reaction on the three topics by a discussant and a discussion with the participants.
