| Synopsis: |
This second edition of "Marginality and Condemnation" continues the approach of the first edition: it sees crime as a socio-political process. What is defined as criminal, how we respond to "crime" and why individuals behave in anti-social ways are the consequences of and reproduce social inequalities. While this book argues that the marginalized in society are most likely to feel the full force of criminal (in)justice, it does address the full range of criminological analysis."Marginality and Condemnation" also embodies an alternative pedagogy. It begins with an overview of criminological discourse, mainstream approaches and new directions in criminological theory. General issues for understanding crime are outlined by the editors at the beginning of each section of the book. Detailed and specific empirical chapters follow, offering windows onto general issues in criminology, ranging from the historical and current nature of crime and criminal justice to responses to criminality. Readers are encouraged and challenged to understand the crime process through concrete analysis rather than abstract approaches.In addition to extensive updating, this second edition adds new chapters on pluralist theory, the sex issue in criminological discourse, official statistics, street crime and the politics of defining crime. |
