Drawing Blood from Stones: Legal Debt and Social Inequality in the Contemporary United States1 (2010, background): “Another body of research highlights the connection among penal expansion, the contraction of the welfare state, and social inequality (Sutton 2000, 2004; Beckett and Western 2001; Crutchfield and Pettinicchio 2009; Wacquant 2009).”
The Political Context of Sentencing: An Analysis of Community and Individual Determinants (2002, background): “Cross-national research shows that increases in the political strength of more conservative parties led to subsequent expansions in the relative size of the incarcerated population in five advanced democracies (Sutton 2000).”
