To examine government policy and state practice on housing,
welfare, mental health, disability, prisons or immigration is to
come face-to-face with the harsh realities of the 'punitive state'.
But state violence and corporate harm always meet with resistance.
With contributions from a wide range of activists and scholars,
Resist the Punitive State highlights and theorises the front line
of resistance movements actively opposing the state-corporate
nexus. The chapters engage with different strategies of resistance
in a variety of movements and campaigns. In doing so the book
considers what we can learn from involvement in grassroots
struggles, and contributes to contemporary debates around the role
and significance of subversive knowledge and engaged scholarship in
activism. Aimed at activists and campaigners plus students,
researchers and educators in criminology, social policy, sociology,
social work and the social sciences more broadly, Resist the
Punitive State not only presents critiques of a range of harmful
state-corporate policy agendas but situates these in the context of
social movement struggles fighting for political transformation and
alternative futures.
