“…The counter-example of Portugal, which has seen both an extension of the welfare state and a reduction in the penalization of vulnerable drug users, supports critics who have argued that such general theorizing underestimates the complexity of developments, both at home and abroad (Hannah-Moffatt 2002;Zedner 2002;Young 2003;Loader and Sparks 2004;Hutchinson 2006). The appeal of the punitive turn in contemporary penality is by no means universal.…”

“…Consecuentemente, la terminología "nueva penología" y "vieja penología" parece inapropiada, particularmente cuando se asocia a este desarrollo con un cambio de paradigma más que con una contribución a la diversificación de la gama de sanciones (Feeley y Simon, 1994). Aunque puede haber pocas dudas acerca del hecho de que las formas de análisis de riesgos se están volviendo prevalecientes en el sistema de justicia penal, la lógica de la justicia actuarial no explica adecuadamente el incremento observado en la punitividad, ni el difundido interés en la justicia restaurativa, ni el creciente énfasis en las diversas formas de rehabilitación, tanto dentro como fuera de las prisiones (Zedner, 2002). Feeley y Simon (1992) intentan recuadrar este círculo afirmando que "la lógica actuarial de la nueva penología impone una expansión del continuum de control para una gestión de riesgos más eficiente" (p. 457).…”
