Understanding crime, criminals, and criminal justice from a
radical/critical perspective is indispensable in today's academic,
applied research, and policy sectors. Neglect of this approach
leads to narrow-mindedness and the probability of repeating past
mistakes or reinventing the wheel. Cutting the Edge by Jeffrey Ian
Ross will encourage individuals and organizations, especially
students and instructors, to innovatively identify ways of
experimenting with new policy initiatives designed to improve not
only criminal justice, but social and human justice as well. Ross
has significantly changed this volume to include six new chapters
and three revised ones as well. The studies chosen demonstrate the
difference between critical criminology and other approaches used
to study and explain criminological phenomena. The authors do not
approach the inequalities of the criminal justice system as
phenomena that should be studied, but as wrongs that must be
righted. Cutting-edge critical criminology combines concerns about
fairness in punishment, tools of class analysis and the insights of
feminism, postmodernism, and ethnography. The authors included here
wield these newer tools with elegance and enthusiasm. Written with
passion by experts in the field, the book engages the mind as fully
as it engages the emotions.
