The edited collection features two tomes, one inEnglish and one in French, reflecting interdisciplinary and criticalcriminological scholarship that advances alternative ways of conceptualizingand responding to criminalized activities and social harms. The breadth of the approaches characterizes much ofcritical criminological scholarship today, despite the growth of managerial andadministrative criminologies and the rise of explicitly exclusionary andpunitive state policies and practices with respect to 'crime' and 'security.'The book advances cutting-edge theories and methods to make sense of theseissues, and proposes policy responses that promote social inclusion andsecurity.
