Brooklyn College Cross National Crime Questions

1 Briefly detail one way that Anglophone punishment represents the Neo-liberal regime type and one way that Nordic punishment represents the Social Democratic Corporatist regime type from Cavadino & Dignan. (See Pratt & Eriksson, Green, the lecture.)

*Note: while the essay (#10) has you compare and contrast prison conditions, this prompt is more about directly connecting what you have learned about these punishment systems to Cavadino & Dignan

2. How did a) the age of criminal responsibility and b) conceptions of childhood influence the way that journalists and politicians treated the Bulger and Redergard cases in England and Norway according to Green?

3.Part 1: Compare and contrast three major prison conditions of Anglophone and Nordic prison systems from Pratt & Eriksson Chapter 1.

Part 2: Then, discuss two major reasons why we see different attitudes and practices toward punishment in these two regions. (Here, you can utilize a variety of materials including Pratt & Eriksson Chapters 1 & 6, Green, the lecture, and/or Cavadino & Dignan’s typology.)
