“In his recent survey of the sociology of punishment field, David Garland identified the absence of an agreed set of metrics as one of our key challenges. Our progress along this path has been considerably advanced by the impressive body of work undertaken by the RIMES team.”
Professor Claire Hamilton, Maynooth University, Republic of Ireland
“Scholars interested in making criminal justice systems more able to reduce exclusion and favour reintegration of offenders will benefit from reading a book that explains a new tool to assess the level of exclusion of criminal justice systems. The authors of the RIMES instrument have made an outstanding contribution to the progress of comparative penology.”
Josep Cid, Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona, Spain
“The Rimes instrument emerged from a pioneering research approach. The research team first applied social exclusion to measure punitiveness in criminal justice systems. The findings promise new insights that go beyond the expected and provide an outstanding contribution to comparative criminal policy studies.”
Prof. Dr. Rita Haverkamp, University of Tübingen, Germany
