His knowledge on penal populism <strong>and</strong> the sociology of punishment,along with his ability to provide an extremely thorough critique of my multipledrafts, has enhanced my writing to no end. I would also like to extend thisacknowledgement to my secondary supervisor Dr Elizabeth Stanley. Her unrelentingwillingness to provide endless critique, as well as moral support, has been profound<strong>and</strong> has enabled me to stay focused <strong>and</strong> positive throughout the year.I would also like to acknowledge the Ryoichi Sasakawa Young Leaders FellowshipFund for giving me the opportunity to complete this thesis.
