Reviews
“This sophisticated analysis of the core ideas of convict criminology from one of the founding scholars in that field represents a real coming of age for one of the most exciting movements within criminology.” Shadd Maruna, President of the American Society of Criminology “As part of a robust criminological education as well as more applied political projects, this foundational text provides a vital and accessible perspective on how to critique and resist the carceral logics of domination.” Jessica Bird, University of Illinois at Chicago
