Routledge Leading Works in Criminal Law - Law Analysis Book

Explore the evolution of criminal law through this comprehensive academic study from Routledge. Part of the Analysing Leading Works in Law series, this text examines how the modern discipline has developed and how it functions across different global landscapes. By reviewing essential works ranging from Macaulay's Indian Penal Code (1837) to modern monographs, the book investigates the deployment of law in both colonial and postcolonial contexts. It offers a deep look at how scholarship engages with essential perspectives, including feminism, queer theory, and anti-carceral and abolitionist movements. This resource provides a broad jurisdictional reach, covering legal frameworks in India, Canada, Australia, Malawi, the UK, and the USA. It is a valuable addition for students, researchers, and legal professionals looking to understand the historical and social forces that shape criminal law today.
