Joining John Scott in discussion for this episode of the IN-CJ Podcast is Professor Rob Canton, who is a founding member of IN-CJ, and will soon be retiring from his role as a leading academic in the field of Probation and Criminal Justice. As well as discussing Rob’s career and influences, John asks Rob about his latest book, Punishment, that has just been published. Rob’s book explores the concept of punishment, and asks what the meaning and significance of punishment is, not least to those subject to forms of punishment in the criminal justice system, and how punishment can be understood in the context of its social, political and emotional role in the criminal justice system.
