Exploring the development of public protection policy and legislation since the early 1990s, \u003cem\u003ePolitics and Public Protection\u003c\/em\u003e considers the necessity for extreme measures and the actual extent of serious crime to unveil the populist nature of the way political debates have been framed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnalysing the UK setting where the public protection debate has been 'weaponised' to create public fear and 'with us or against us' positions, authors Mike Nash and Andy Williams chronicle how this form of politics has now extended into a range of policy areas, including Brexit. Emphasising the political context of the evolution of public protection policy over time, the chapters investigate different types of dangerous criminal behaviour, public protection agencies and responses to panic and failure, providing a critical analysis of the use of risk to reshape and reframe public protection policy and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResponding to the need for an updated discussion on public protection and criminal justice legislation that links the past to the present, \u003cem\u003ePolitics and Public Protection\u003c\/em\u003e closely examines the interplay between politics and extreme criminal justice measures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Nash\u003c\/strong\u003e was previously Head of Department and Professor of Criminology at the SSCJ, University of Portsmouth.
