This book represents the first full-length critical and
interdisciplinary assessment of Loic Wacquant's work in English.
Wacquant's challenging critique of the neo-liberal government of
crime and the punitive culture to which this is related has shaken
criminology to its foundations. In a bold political analysis he
describes how the US-led revolution in law and order has dismantled
the welfare state, replacing it with a disciplinary and penal
state. Wacquant's analysis also details the spread of neo-liberal
crime control measures and the underpinning 'pornographic'
discourses of crime across the developed world, although critics
have questioned the extent to which this model of criminal justice
really is gaining the worldwide dominance alleged. Written by
criminologists and policy analysts, Criminalisation and advanced
marginality offers a constructive but critical application of
Wacquant's ideas. The contributors welcome the opportunity
presented by Wacquant's work to re-engage with a radical politics
of law and order, criminalisation and marginality, whilst raising
issues of gender, resistance, conflict and history which, they
argue, help to enrich and further develop Wacquant's analyses. The
book concludes with a chapter from Professor Wacquant himself
responding to the commentaries upon his work. It fills an important
gap in the existing literature and will be exciting reading for
academics and students of criminology, social policy and the social
sciences more broadly.
