Insecurity State

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Insecurity State by Peter Ramsay, published by Oxford University Press in 2012. This hardback edition spans 278 pages and provides a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the expanding and authoritarian tendencies in contemporary Anglo-American criminal law and policy.

Using the Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) as a central example, Ramsay delves into the political theories that underpin the evolution of criminal law. He compellingly argues that the current trajectory of security law may ultimately undermine the very political authority it seeks to protect. This book is essential for anyone interested in comparative law, criminal law, and the implications of legal policies on society.
