This book provides a novel exploration of time and temporality in relation to punishment and criminal sanctioning. It goes beyond focussing on the prison to address punishment more broadly with contributions on punishment in the community (including after periods of imprisonment) and in areas of the criminal justice system which have typically received less attention such as prison transportation between prisons. The collection also includes a focus on temporality in criminal justice policy, and its potential impacts on speeding up justice, as well as the experiential nature of punishment. The book includes contributions from scholars in UK and Europe, with largely original research, and draws on the international literature. It hopes to encourage punishment scholars to consider how ideas from the sociology of time can inform their own research. Nicola Carr is Professor of Criminology at the University of Nottingham, UK, and Editor of the Probation Journal. She has researched widely on aspects of the criminal justice system, including on probation and community sanctions and measures and youth justice, as well as people's experiences of criminal justice processes.

Gwen Robinson is Professor of Criminal Justice at the University of Sheffield, UK. She has researched and published widely on probation practice, community sanctions and restorative justice.
