She also highlights the importance of age and gender for constructing a nuanced chronology of the birth of the prison, demonstrating that whilst imprisonment emerged first as a punishment for women and children, they were often denied \"negative\" rights, such as equality in penal law and the right to a secular form of punishment. Employing a wealth of hitherto neglected primary sources, such as yearly prison statistics, this cutting-edge study also provides glimpses into the everyday life of inmates in both the new capital of Rome and the nation as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eItalian Prisons in the Age of Positivism, 1861-1914\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital study for understanding the birth of the prison in modern Italy and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 28, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176834531634,"sku":"9781350196094","price":87.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/1608\/0946\/files\/7Cn8OrambM9781350196094.webp?v=1779255815","url":"https:\/\/deskinlawfirm.com\/products\/italian-prisons-in-the-age-of-positivism-1861-1914-paperback","provider":"DLF Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
