year = {2019},
note = {The study proposes a characterization of contemporary criminal justice
policy in accordance to the overuse that public authorities make of
crime control interventions. As a guideline for describing and
evaluating the overuse, the article chooses the social exclusion
effects that this excess brings about on three groups subjected to
crime control, that is, suspects, offenders and ex-offenders. Once
justified the selection of this criterion as more comprehensive than
the usual one of punitiveness, the paper analyzes in 11 subsections a
set of punitive rules and practices which are more and more rooted in
our crime control systems and comprise the areas of criminalization,
prosecution and enforcement of sanctions. In each subsection, the
author shows the relevant social exclusionary effects that those
punitive rules and practices entail.},
