Routledge Contemporary Critical Criminology - Routledge

Contemporary Critical Criminology by Routledge presents essential insights into how crime and criminalization reflect deeper societal structures. Written by an internationally recognised scholar, this book synthesises the latest empirical, theoretical, and political contributions from critical criminologists worldwide. It directly challenges the misconception that critical criminology merely applies mechanical frameworks to crime analysis, instead offering a sophisticated exploration of how social institutions shape criminal justice outcomes. Ideal for students, academics, and professionals in criminology, sociology, and social policy, this volume provides contemporary perspectives on the critical criminological project and its relevance to modern criminal justice systems.
