Even if you are not a grad student in Sociology this book has great value in helping one to understand the transformation of society from not only how it deals with only crime but how those mechinisms have now become part of the very fabric of modern society. If you read only the sections titled 'The Panopticon' and 'The Carceral' it will be worth the price.
