This second edition of "Marginality and Condemnation" continues the
approach of the first edition: it sees crime as a socio-political
process. What is defined as criminal, how we respond to "crime" and
why individuals behave in anti-social ways are the consequences of
and reproduce social inequalities. While this book argues that the
marginalized in society are most likely to feel the full force of
criminal (in)justice, it does address the full range of
criminological analysis."Marginality and Condemnation" also
embodies an alternative pedagogy. It begins with an overview of
criminological discourse, mainstream approaches and new directions
in criminological theory. General issues for understanding crime
are outlined by the editors at the beginning of each section of the
book. Detailed and specific empirical chapters follow, offering
windows onto general issues in criminology, ranging from the
historical and current nature of crime and criminal justice to
responses to criminality. Readers are encouraged and challenged to
understand the crime process through concrete analysis rather than
abstract approaches. In addition to extensive updating, this second
edition adds new chapters on pluralist theory, the sex issue in
criminological discourse, official statistics, street crime and the
politics of defining crime.
