“…In addition, though, risk, already present in modern society due to the consequences of technological development (e.g., climate change) has been exacerbated by neoliberal political and economic programs of government (O’Malley, 2004). The neoliberal political and economic reforms of the 1980s created opportunities for individual advancement (O’Malley, 2004; Pratt, 2015, 2020). Market deregulation created greater opportunity than ever before for individuals to risk it all and win big on trading currency and stocks; and the cultivation of lifestyles for individual consumers was developed through globalization of markets and technological developments transforming the travel, hospitality, and beauty industries (Pratt, 2020).…”

“…The neoliberal political and economic reforms of the 1980s created opportunities for individual advancement (O’Malley, 2004; Pratt, 2015, 2020).

The reforms also fostered significant anxiety and insecurity for individuals as they stripped away all the previous ties and loyalties that secured their place in the community, be it through work (e.g., the breaking of unions), community groups (e.g., the decline of church attendance), or otherwise (e.g., the decline of marriage) (Pratt, 2015).…”

“…Indeterminate sentencing options have been expanding in some of the Anglophone societies, casting a wider net to provide courts with indefinite options at the beginning of sentencing (e.g., life imprisonment and preventive detention) as well as at the end of a finite prison sentence (e.g., civil detention) (Pratt, 2020; Pratt & Anderson, 2016; Rose, 1998; Seddon, 2008; Simon, 1998). Such measures are often triggered by an individual case.…”

Throughout the Anglophone advanced liberal democracies, punishment is increasingly creeping past the limits of traditional finite sentences and moving beyond the walls of the prison. “Regulatory” mechanisms enforcing limitations on releasees’ use of space beyond the prison walls have increased, and net widening due to technological advancement has resulted in sentenced individuals being punished within the community. At the same time, increasing numbers of released individuals are unable to be reintegrated into the community due to long-term regulatory limitations on their movement in both public and private space. Elements of the architecture of punishment continue to be reshaped and expanded by postsentence regulation, and this article explores the particular experience of released sex offenders being regulated within the community in two examples of “sex offender enclaves.” Drawing upon the experience of the community of Miracle Village (Florida, United States), as well as qualitative interviews conducted in the community of Ōtāhuhu (Auckland, New Zealand), this article begins to map the spread of the correctional apparatus beyond the prison walls and examines the way that risks are concentrated and delegated to certain communities, while the state simultaneously attempts to purge those thought to constitute the gravest risks from other communities.
