Classic Writings in Anarchist Criminology

In recent years, social movements of all sorts have been redefining ideas of justice by exposing the social and economic causes of crime and calling for an end to punitive institutions such as prison, the death penalty, and migrant detention. Headline news about overcrowded prisons, for-profit prisons, prisoners exonerated after spending much of their lives behind bars, and the like have been feeding demands for prison reform and even abolition. This book demonstrates some of the historical origins of those ideas, which have been advocated by anarchists for over one hundred years. Anyone interested in the history of Critical Criminology, Restorative Justice, or Transformative Justice will find inspiration from this collection.
