Abstract

After proving the solid dissociation between official police statistics and criminal reality according to crime surveys, the Observatorio de la Delincuencia (ODA) has set as its new challenge to analyse prison policy and its contextualisation within current criminal policy. Thus, in this new report the authors analyse in detail data within the penitentiary field; it is particularly focused in learning the impact of a prison policy that in these past few years has apparently detached itself from the punitive approach adopted by criminal policy during the first decade of the 21st century. This article presents a summary of the results of the report.
