First published in 1975, this collection of essays expands upon the
themes and ideas developed in the editors' previous work, the
visionary and groundbreaking text: The New Criminology. Directed at
orthodox criminology, this is a partisan work written by a group of
criminologists committed to a social transformation: a
transformation to a society that does not criminalize deviance.
Included are American contributions, particularly from the School
of Criminology at Berkeley, represented by Hermann and Julia
Schwendinger and Tony Platt, together with essays by Richard
Quinney and William Chambliss. From Britain, Geoff Pearson
considers deviancy theory as 'misfit sociology' and Paul Hirst
attacks deviancy theory from an Althusserian Marxist position. The
editors contribute a detailed introductory essay extending the
position developed in The New Criminology, and two other pieces
which attempt to continue the task of translating criminology from
its traditional correctionalist stance to a commitment to socialist
diversity and a crime-free set of social arrangements.
