Critique and Dissent: An Anthology to Mark 40 Years of the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control
$41.94
Critique and Dissent brings together for the first time in one volume a collection of papers spanning forty years of annual conferences of the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control. The European Group is one of the largest international forums for the study of 'crime', social harm and mechanisms of control and has been at the forefront of debates and creative developments in the emergence and consolidation of critical criminologies in Europe and beyond. This edited collection showcases some of the most exciting and innovative contributions since its first conference in 1973, illustrating the theoretical depth and contrasting interpretive frames deployed in the critical analysis of deviancy and social control. The book will be of interest to academics, activists, practitioners, post-graduate and final year undergraduate students in the fields of criminology, penology, social policy, law, socio-legal studies, sociology and other related disciplines.
-Steve Tombs, Professor of Criminology, The Open University "This book documents some of the key theoretical and activist contributions of the European Group... over its first four decades... [and] demonstrates a sound base to inspire future decades of rigorous scholarship, critique, dissent and activism."
-Ann Singleton, Head of the Centre for the Study of Poverty and Social Justice, University of Bristol

"Critique and Dissent is to anti-criminology what Protest and Survive was to the anti-nuclear movement... as an anthology, it is a fitting testament to forty years of a genuinely pan-European, critical organisation which remains a challenge to the theoretical, empirical and methodological boundaries of critical social science."-Steve Tombs, Professor of Criminology, The Open University "This book documents some of the key theoretical and activist contributions of the European Group... over its first four decades... [and] demonstrates a sound base to inspire future decades of rigorous scholarship, critique, dissent and activism."
