International audienceThis paper seeks to respond to Nicolas Carrier’s criticisms of Anglo-Saxon sociologies of the ‘punitive turn’. It postulates that the concept is based on empirical reality and provides a useful discursive tool for analysing recent penal trends across the Western world. It then goes on to pinpoint the key strengths of these sociologies, namely their Anglo-centric focus, their understanding of the importance that punitive rhetoric can have on political reality, and their focus on the wider socio-political context in which these changes have taken place. Finally, it is argued that the various sociologies are most relevant when understood together in the hegemonic context of neoliberalism.L’objectif de ce texte est de répo...
