Pruitt, \u003ci\u003eCHOICE\u003c\/i\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eProud to Punish\u003c\/i\u003e will engage a wide audience of scholars, students, and practitioners seeking to grasp the untidy and frequently disturbing social reality of rough justice. A particular strength of the volume is the comparative approach. It is not simply that the authors consciously broaden the empirical base of their study beyond the standard Anglosphere countries, although that is welcome in itself. It is also that doing so—using data from a range of political and geographic contexts—allows the authors to bring out weaknesses in existing theories and thereby contribute to refining them.\"—Matthew Light, \u003ci\u003eTheoretical Criminology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eA magisterial comparative study, \u003ci\u003eProud to Punish\u003c\/i\u003e recenters our understanding of modern punishment through a sweeping analysis of the global phenomenon of \"rough justice\": the use of force to settle accounts and enforce legal and moral norms outside the formal framework of the law. While taking many forms, including vigilantism, lynch mobs, people's courts, and death squads, all seekers of rough justice thrive on the deliberate blurring of lines between law enforcers and troublemakers. Digital networks have provided a profitable arena for vigilantes, who use social media to build a following and publicize their work, as they debase the bodies of the accused for purposes of edification and entertainment. It is this unabashed pride to punish, and the new punitive celebrations that actualize, publicize, and commercialize it, that this book brings into focus. Recounted in lively prose, \u003ci\u003eProud to Punish\u003c\/i\u003e is both a global map of rough justice today and an insight into the deeper nature of punishment as a social and political phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Breaking the Law to Maintain Order\u003cbr\u003e  1.
