 The New Penology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Penology as a science emerged in the early 20th Century out of what used to be called the field of criminal hygiene.
Penology is also essentially about disparities between the "real" and the "ideal" at least in terms of its association with the penal reform movement started by people such as Enoch Wines (1867), Zebulon Brockway (1901), and Harry Elmer Barnes (1926).
In the hands of historians, like Blomberg (2000), penology is also about the study of "intended" and "unintended" consequences of having a penal system, where "penal" in this context means a punishment or control system guided by some systematic and enlightened philosophy of punishment or at least the common sense principles of human behavior.

 Scheduled Prospectus Defenses - School of Criminal Justice   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The new penology assumes that courts employ three key characteristics in the sentencing process: (1) they use actuarial techniques rather than individual characteristics to determine punishment, (2) they emphasize offender management over rehabilitation, and (3) they focus on the objective of organizational efficiency over large societal goals.
While a good deal of theoretical literature exists on the new penology, there have been no attempts to empirically demonstrate whether sentencing practices comport with this theory.
This prospectus will lay the groundwork for examining the new penology's impact by focusing on one of th theory's most predominate assumptions: that sentencing has shifted from an individual to an actuarial approach.

 American penology
Clearly, as the preceding review of America's history of penal reform demonstrates, this same conclusion can be directly applied to penology, in general.
If the U.S. as well as the Czech Republic are to move beyond speculative penology, it is necessary to commit to a responsible evaluation strategy that is institutionalized into penological operations and program reform efforts.
Of particular significance to the Czech Republic in its efforts to deal with crime during transition to democracy are the dangers posed to democracy by a penal system that is without evaluation and accountability.
