In this second Centre for Crime, Law and Justice (CCLJ) annual public lecture, Professor McNeill will examine the emergence, extent, legitimation and experience of ‘mass supervision’, drawing on the analysis offered in his recent book Pervasive Punishment (Emerald Publishing, 2019). His principal focus will be on why mass supervision, like mass incarceration, should be resisted, on how it can be resisted, and on what alternative approaches we might take to rethinking our responses to criminalised wrongs. In so doing, he aims to explore and illustrate the interfaces between critical, creative and public criminologies.
