Biography
Seán McConville has researched and taught at major universities on both sides of the Atlantic and is currently Professor of Law and Public Policy at Queen Mary University of London, UK. He has published extensively on the history of punishment, as well as contemporary penal administration, including Irish Political Prisoners 1848-1922 (2003) and Irish Political Prisoners 1920-1962 (2014).
"This is penal history with heft, and it is told with panache. It is the capstone of the author’s career and will be an authoritative reference point for years to come."
Ian O’Donnell, Irish Jurist
