"Critique and Dissent" brings together for the first time in one
volume a collection of papers spanning forty years of annual
conferences of the " European Group for the Study of Deviance and
Social Control." The European Group is one of the largest
international forums for the study of 'crime', social harm and
mechanisms of control and has been at the forefront of debates and
creative developments in the emergence and consolidation of
critical criminologies in Europe and beyond. This edited collection
showcases some of the most exciting and innovative contributions
since its first conference in 1973, illustrating the theoretical
depth and contrasting interpretive frames deployed in the critical
analysis of deviancy and social control. The book will be of
interest to academics, activists, practitioners, post-graduate and
final year undergraduate students in the fields of criminology,
penology, social policy, law, socio-legal studies, sociology and
other related disciplines.
Endorsements ""Critique and Dissent" is to anti-criminology
what" Protest and Survive" was to the anti-nuclear movement... as
an anthology, it is a fitting testament to forty years of a
genuinely pan-European, critical organisation which remains a
challenge to the theoretical, empirical and methodological
boundaries of critical social science."
-Steve Tombs, Professor of Criminology, The Open University
"This book documents some of the key theoretical and activist
contributions of the European Group... over its first four
decades... and] demonstrates a sound base to inspire future decades
of rigorous scholarship, critique, dissent and activism."
-Ann Singleton, Head of the Centre for the Study of Poverty and
Social Justice, University of Bristol
