This well-received criminology textbook, now in its third edition,
argues that crime must be understood as both a social and a
political phenomenon. Using this lens, Marginality and Condemnation
contends that what is defined as criminal, how we respond to crime
and why individuals behave in anti-social ways are often the result
of individual and systemic social inequalities and disparities in
power. Beginning with an overview of criminological discourse,
mainstream approaches and new directions in criminological theory,
the book is then divided into sections, based on key social
inequalities of class, gender, race and age, each of which begins
with an outline of the general issues for understanding crime and
an introduction that guides readers through the empirical chapters
that follow. The studies provide insights into general issues in
criminology, ranging from the historical and current nature of
crime and criminal justice to the various responses to criminality.
Readers are encouraged and challenged to understand crime and
justice through concrete analyses rather than abstract
argumentation. In addition to a new introductory chapter that
confronts how we define crime, measure crime, and understand and
use criminology in this millennium, the third edition provides new
chapters examining crime in relation to the environment, terrorism,
masculinity, children and youth, and Aboriginal gangs and the
legacy of colonialism. "
