Abstract: The term ‘penal populism’ is now reflexively used by criminologists to describe what many see as a dominant trend within penal policymaking in many western countries. The epithet ‘populist’ is used with no less frequency by media and other public commentators to refer (always pejoratively) to this or that political announcement, policy or style of political leadership, whether the context be specifically related to crime or some other arena of public affairs. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
