Book Review: Making Sense of Wales: A Sociological Perspective

the continued high levels of incarceration in Ireland. Moreover, it remains to be seen whether the favoured political alternatives founded on actuarial principles and performance indicators, and the centrality of the 'responsible' self-governing citizen, do not themselves present potentially pernicious opportunities for creating new definitions of 'criminogenic' and socially irresponsible sectors of the population. In fairness, the authors appear to have been constrained by the brevity of the form in which they published, as part of the excellent 'Undercurrents' series of short monographs on legal and social issues. They have identified an important transitional point in the making and unmaking of consensus towards crime at an important historical juncture in Ireland, and the book provides a critical case study which ought to be of interest to students of social and crime policy. However, this reviewer hopes that the authors will turn eventually to an analysis of greater ambition in scope and length, as the questions raised here deserve more comprehensive treatment in bringing critical insights not only into crime, but also to social change in contemporary Ireland.
