Summary

These original essays introduce students to the complex and influential field of critical criminology. It presents many of the theories of critical criminology -- Marxist, Feminist, Left Realist, Postmodern, Constitutive, Peacemaking, and Restorative Justice -- and explores how, despite their distinctions, each theory is rooted in radical criminology, and all are critical of mainstream criminology.
