1 Introduction -- 2 Some Reflections on the History and Development of Alternatives to Prison -- 3 Alternatives to Imprisonment in England: Destined to Fall? -- 4 Alternatives to Imprisonment in Germany: Less is More?.- 5 Alternatives to Imprisonment in Turkey: A "Schattendasein"?.- 6 Summary and Conclusions -- References.

The book focuses on one of the most problematic areas of Turkish penal justice: the overreliance on custodial measures and a corresponding growth in the prison population, and compares Turkey with two major European countries in this respect: England and Wales and Germany. The underlying question throughout the study is the extent to which prison alternatives can be seen as genuine alternatives to immediate custodial sentences.
