Penal populism is populism related to criminal justice. It tends to manifest in the run up to elections when political parties put forward hard-line policies which they believe the public wants, rather than evidence-based policies based on their effectiveness at dealing with crime and associated social problems.[1] Penal populism can be media driven political process whereby politicians compete with each other to impose tougher prison sentences on offenders based on a perception that crime is out of control.[2]
