This is a provocative collection of timely reflections on the state of social democracy and its inextricable links to crime and justice. Authored by some of the world's leading thinkers from the UK, US, Canada and Australia, the volume provides an understanding of socially sustainable societies.
"This edited collection offers a tantalizing look at the future directions that criminological analysis, politics and practice could take in the wake of the crisis in neoliberal and free-market hegemony [...] It is a landmark text which is essential reading for scholars of
Criminology, Sociology, Social Geography and Policy studies, and would be a suitable [...] book for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on contemporary or critical issues in Criminology."
