The essays selected for this volume show how radical and Marxist
criminology has established itself as an influential critique since
it emerged in the late 1960s. Unlike orthodox criminology which
emphasizes individual level explanations of criminal behavior,
radical and Marxist criminology emphasizes power inequality and
structures, especially those related to class, as key factors in
crime, law and justice. This collection of essays draws attention
to the way in which structural forces shape and influence both
individual and institutional (for example, governmental) behavior;
highlights neglected crime (corporate, governmental,
state-corporate and environmental) which causes more extensive
damage than the street crimes examined by orthodox criminology; and
discusses the ways in which law and criminal justice processes
reinforce power structures and contribute to class control.
