Abolish Criminology presents critical scholarship on criminology
and criminal justice ideologies and practices, alongside emerging
freedom-driven visions and practices for new world formations. The
book introduces readers to a detailed history and analysis of crime
as a concept and its colonizing trajectories into existence and
enforcement. These significant contexts buried within peculiar
academic histories and classroom practices are often overlooked or
unknown outside academic and public discussions, causing the impact
of racializing-gendering-sexualizing histories to extend and grow
through criminology’s creation of crime, extending how the
concept is weaponized and enforced through the criminal legal
system. It offers written, visual, and poetic teachings from the
perspectives of students, professors, imprisoned and formerly
imprisoned persons, and artists. This allows readers to engage in
multi-sensory, inter-disciplinary, and multi-perspective teachings
on criminology’s often discussed but seldom interrogated
mythologies on violence and danger, and their wide-reaching
enforcements through the criminal legal system’s research,
theories, agencies, and dominant cultures. Abolish Criminology
serves the needs of undergraduate and graduate students and
educators in the social sciences, arts, and humanities. It will
also appeal to scholars, researchers, policy makers, activists,
community organizers, social movement builders, and various reading
groups in the general public who are grappling with increased
critical public discourse on policing and criminal legal reform or
abolition.

The Routledge International Handbook of Penal Abolition provides an
authoritative and comprehensive look at the latest developments in
the 21st-century penal abolitionism movement, both reflecting on
key critical thought and setting the agenda for local and global
abolitionist ideas and interventions over the coming decade. Penal
abolitionists question the legitimacy of criminal law, policing,
courts, prisons and more broadly the idea of punishment, to argue
that rather than effectively handling or solving social problems,
interpersonal disputes, conflicts and harms, they actually increase
individual and societal problems. The Routledge International
Handbook of Penal Abolition is organized around six key themes:
Social movements and abolition organizing Critical resistance to
the penal state Voices from imprisoned and marginalized communities
Diversity of abolitionist thought International perspectives on
abolitionism Building new justice practices as a response to social
and individual wrongdoing. A global-centred and world-encompassing
project, this book provides the reader with an alternative and
critical perspective from which to reflect and raises the
visibility of abolitionist ideas and strategies in a time when
there is considerable discussion of how we will move forward in
response to what has given rise to the criminalizing system: white
supremacy, racial capitalism and human wrongdoing. It is essential
reading for all those engaged with punishment and penology,
criminology, sociology, corrections and critical prisons studies.
It will appeal to any reader who seeks an innovative response to
the calamitous failures of the modern criminalizing system.
