Article Abstract:

This article examines the changing penal policies in industrialized countries since the 1970s. The author argues that the culture of capitalistic societies has redirected penal policies from rehabilitation ideology to a focus on punishment which is based upon the concept of individualism, yet the new penal policies are contradictory in that they focus on individual responsibility as well as the surveillance of dangerous groups.
