本文介绍了一项比较研究的结果，该研究探讨了30个国家使用监禁与一系列可能解释这种惩罚措施差异的因素之间的联系，这些因素包括：犯罪水平;社会指标，如衡量福利方案投资和收入不平等的指标;对他人的信任和对政治机构的信任;公众对犯罪和公共惩罚的恐惧;以及政治结构和民主形式的变化。主要结论是，温和的刑罚政策有其根源，在一个共识和社团主义的政治文化，在高水平的社会信任和政治合法性，并在一个强大的福利国家;和更多的惩罚性政策，使更多的使用监禁是在这些特征是不太明显的国家。
This paper presents the findings of a comparative study that explores the linkages between the use of imprisonment in 30 countries and a range of potentially explanatory factors for variations in this measure of punitivity, including: crime levels; social indicators, such as those measuring investment in welfare programmes and income inequality; trust in other people and trust in political institutions; public fear of crime and public punitivity; and variations in political structure and forms of democracy. The main conclusions are that moderate penal policies have their roots in a consensual and corporatist political culture, in high levels of social trust and political legitimacy, and in a strong welfare state; and that more punitive policies that make more use of imprisonment are to be found in countries where these characteristics are less in evidence.
