“…Vanessa Barker () has examined the role of structures and styles of state governance in US penal policy. There has been detailed investigation of local, and urban, governance of crime (Crawford , ). Political science concepts such as policy transfer (Jones and Newburn ) and policy networks (Ryan, Savage and Wall ) have been applied to the penal field.…”

This article offers an interpretive political analysis framework, exploring and asserting its value for understanding penal change. It is argued that this approach serves, in part, to emphasise the importance of the minutiae of political activity: the crucial impact that apparently minor decisions, unimportant participants, or particular ‘rules of the game’ can play in specific outcomes. It emphasises the importance of human agency and meaning: the relationship between politics and fate. It facilitates the connections of particular ‘micro’ analyses with ‘macro’ accounts of penal change. I argue that the approach set out here thereby enables us to place centre stage the beliefs and practices of policy participants, and the political dynamics of policymaking. By doing so, particular case studies serve as valuable ‘windows’ into the meanings in action that iteratively make sense of, respond to, and thereby (re‐)constitute the realities in which actors operate, specific penal outcomes, and broader penal change.

“…A significant segment of such interest has been directed at exploring the international diffusion of criminal justice policies and practices. To date, much of the criminological research on policy transfer has addressed the manner in and extent to which policies and practices have actually been reproduced in different jurisdictions, the broader ramifications and the desirability of policy transfer, as well as factors that facilitate or impede the international transfer of policies and practices (including, for example, Cohen 1988;Bayley 2001;Bowling and Sheptycki 2012;Hills 2009;Newburn and Sparks 2004;Muncie 2005;Jones and Newburn 2007;Wacquant 2009;Crawford 2009;Walters 2006, Blaustein 2015. Although some attention has been drawn to the branding and marketing of national 'models' of criminal justice policies and practices for export (e.g., by Ellison and O'Reilly 2008), the role and impact of national reputation on policy transfer has not itself attracted sustained concern in this context.…”

Abstract:In the late 2000s, numerous prominent public commentators raised concerns that corruption scandals were harming Britain's ability to play a leadership role in anticorruption initiatives abroad. With a view to contributing to critical criminological scholarship on international policy transfer and double standards in criminal justice policy and practice, this article explores the extent to which reputational damage curtailed Britain's appeal as an anti-corruption mentor in South-East Europe during the 2000s.Challenging the common presumption that stronger states tarnished by corruption scandals will face 'hypocricy costs' abroad, this article finds that a range of factors work to insulate stronger states from the potential ramifications of reputational decline.
