Critical Criminological Perspectives
Series Editors Reece Walters Faculty of Law Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, QLD, Australia Deborah H. Drake Social Policy and Criminology Department The Open University Milton Keynes, UK “This book nudges knowledge forward on the relationships between systemic, structural and interpersonal forms of crime and harm. From the scholarly but always heartfelt reflections in the early chapters, to the chapters taking the reader’s zemiological gaze in to war, murder, ‘extreme’ pornography, borders, fashion, rehabilitation and environmental harm-doing, this book takes suffering seriously.” —Pamela Davies, Professor of Criminology, Northumbria University, UK “This superb collection probes points of contact as well as tensions between zemiology and criminology, and between grasping complex patterns of harm and doing something about them. Authors explore the wilful ignorances, silences and omissions that both generate specific contemporary harms and nurture their acceptance. The book can help us better understand exactly what we are up to as critical criminologists in these times.” —Lois Presser, Professor of Sociology, University of Tennessee, USA “This book offers a refreshing new way of understanding the relationship between crime and social harm and between criminology and zemiology. Each chapter is thought provoking and timely. Much can be learned from reading this original anthology, and it is destined to stimulate meaningful debates within international critical criminological circles.” —Walter S. DeKeseredy is Anna Deane Carlson Endowed Chair of Social Sciences, Director of the Research Center on Violence, and Professor of Sociology
The Palgrave Critical Criminological Perspectives book series aims to showcase the importance of critical criminological thinking when examining problems of crime, social harm and criminal and social justice. Critical perspectives have been instrumental in creating new research agendas and areas of criminological interest. By challenging state defined concepts of crime and rejecting positive analyses of criminality, critical criminological approaches continually push the boundaries and scope of criminology, creating new areas of focus and developing new ways of thinking about, and responding to, issues of social concern at local, national and global levels. Recent years have witnessed a flourishing of critical criminological narratives and this series seeks to capture the original and innovative ways that these discourses are engaging with contemporary issues of crime and justice.
