Ideal for students of crime and criminal justice, scholars, and practitioners seeking fresh theoretical insights and empirical research in criminology.

Bringing together leading international experts, and uniting fresh theoretical positions, with the best of current empirical research, this book marks a key juncture in considering the state-of-the-art of criminology and its imagined futures.

Description

Alternative Criminologies celebrates a kaleidoscopic process of permanent critique and a diversity of social and scientific knowledges. It examines complex and global crime issues in light of the many alternative scientific, artistic, empathetic, campaigning and otherwise imaginative criminologies that attempt to understand and/or fundamentally change why crime and justice take the forms they do.

From cutting edge topics such as crimes against humanity, the criminology of mobility, terrorism, cybercrime, corporate crime, and green criminology; to gendered perspectives on violence against women, sexualities and feminist and queer criminologies; to key issues in penology such as mass incarceration, the death penalty, desistance from crime, risk, and the political economy of punishment; Alternative Criminologies demonstrates the breadth, the variety, and the vibrancy of contemporary perspectives on crime, criminalization, and punishment.

Bringing together 34 leading experts from around the world, this international collection unites fresh and insightful theoretical positions with innovative empirical research and marks an important juncture for criminologies and their imagined futures. Alternative Criminologies is essential reading for students of crime and criminal justice.
