In order to understand the sites of the new punitiveness, there is a need to have in mind the reality of the modern global community, a community that either does not or cannot punish its criminals. By undertaking a global awareness, it enables those to realize a different social solidarity. This final paper discusses how the narratives of penal change must be reassessed and complemented by analyses that adopt a self-conscious global context. Most research-based narratives have been constrained by an identification of society or community and notions of self-sustaining systems. This paper attempts to highlight the biggest non-punitive area inhabited, the global international system. In summation, in addition to focusing on sites of punitiveness, there is a need for equal focus recognizing irrational nonpunitiveness operating outside the specific terrains narratives have traditionally focused upon.
