Ableism is embedded in Canadian criminal justice institutions,
policies, and practices, making incarceration and
institutionalization dangerous – even deadly – for disabled
people. Disability Injustice examines disability in contexts that
include policing and surveillance, sentencing and the courts,
prisons and alternatives to confinement. The contributors confront
challenging topics such as the pathologizing of difference as
deviance; eugenics and crime control; criminalization based on
biased physical and mental health approaches; and the role of
disability justice activism in contesting discrimination. This
provocative collection highlights how, with deeper understanding of
disability, we can challenge the practices of crime control and the
processes of criminalization.
