First published in 1990, The Politics of Redress is a product of
and commentary on significant developments in critical criminology.
It shifts the emphasis from the criminologist as a police agent to
a fighter for social justice. The author focuses on the role of
punishment in society, in general, and in criminology, in
particular, urging the reader to reimagine the concept of
punishment, especially penal punishment. The arguments addressed in
this book range from a comparative analysis of penal policies in
various countries to philosophical debates about whether punishment
is compatible with a just social order. With the Black Lives Matter
movement, the topic of prison abolition has, once again, gripped
society's conscience making this text a vital read for students of
law, criminology, sociology, philosophy, and history.
