Abstract
This paper provides an overview of an emerging and important trend in modern penality, the punishment of persistent offending. It argues tha t what lies behind this new development is a merger of the right to pr otection (itself an overarching theme of penal policy) and the implica tions for risk management of shifting political rationalities in the l ast two decades.
