The author provides a theoretical understanding of the mechanisms of state policy making. Using this framework he offers an interpretation of the changing nature of the institutions of social control in the United States, from the opening of the 19th century to the present day. A distinctive feature of the author's approach is his critique of existing theories of the state. Developing a sophisticated account of the relation of the state and civil society, he offers a history of social control policies in the United States which combines analysis with historical narrative.目录Explaining patterns of institutional social control; Part 1 The denial of freedom in the new republic - social control and the American state, 1800-1929: charting the liberal-capitalist state; public welfare in a age of social and economic crises. Part 2 Accumulating minds and bodies - social control and the American state, 1930-1985: charting the advanced-capitalist state; contradictions and consequences in post-war psychiatry; public policy under the liberal welfare state; the evolution of the state apparatus.
