Description
Penology is the study of punishment and forms part of the wider academic discipline of criminology. While potentially penology covers a very wide subject matter, it tends to focus on various dimensions of imprisonment. This course examines some of the key issues associated with the use of prisons in New South Wales and introduces students to current research into the use of prisons and various forms of detention. It builds on previous core subjects such as criminal law 1 and 2, and complements electives such as advanced criminal law.
