Contemporary Criminological Issues tackles some of today's most
pressing social issues, from the criminalization of Indigenous peoples
to interpersonal violence, border control, and armed conflicts.
This book advances cutting-edge theories and methods, with the aim of
moving beyond the scholarship that reproduces insecurity and exclusion.
The breadth of approaches encompasses much of the current critical
criminological scholarship, serving as a counterpoint to the growth of
managerial and administrative criminologies and the rise of explicitly
exclusionary and punitive state policies and practices with respect to
'crime' and 'security.'
This edited collection featuring two books, one in English and one in
French, includes important contributions to knowledge and public policy
by eminent experts and emerging scholars.
This book is published in English.
