Synopsis of Qui a peur de la nouvelle peine sans prison?

«Qui a peur de la nouvelle peine sans prison ?» is the legal essay by Danielle Delamotte, published by L'Harmattan in paperback (86 pages, in French).

The book examines contrainte pénale, the prison-free sentence, and the fear it provokes. Delamotte argues that delinquency is an illness of the social bond and that, for this sanction to work, one must add «lien» (bond) and not «rang» (rank), placing the person at the center to restore the social tie and reduce reoffending.

Published in 2015. Full subtitle: «Ajouter du lien et non du rang pour réussir la contrainte pénale et en finir avec la récidive».

It will interest jurists, law students and readers following the debate on alternative sentences to prison in France.
