Mobility and Criminal Justice: Mobilitarian Ideology as the Basis for Managerialism

<br/><br/> In the field of criminal justice, managerial rhetoric has been so successful to the point that one might wonder why the corrections system, which for decades adhered to a discourse that could not be further from a managerial vision, was able to adopt a managerialist stance in administrating the penal system. This contribution argues that managerialism simply constitutes a specific variation of a more general ideology: the “mobilitarian ideology” (idéologie mobilitaire). Based on four principles (activity, activation, participation, and adaptation), the ideology originates from a profound change in our relation to time and space and has become a fundamental category for understanding and perceiving our world. Based on recent examples of reforming penal norms and standards, we show how penality increasingly relies on an axiology based on the principal of mobility.
