Summary:
"This book offers a critical introduction to trends and developments in contemporary criminological theory. Designed both as a companion to An Introduction to Criminological Theory - also by Roger Hopkins Burke and published by Routledge - and as a standalone advanced textbook, it develops themes introduced previously in more detail, incorporates new critical and radical concepts and explores cutting-edge advances in theory. Key topics include: Constitutive, anarchist, green and species, bio-critical, cultural, abolitionist and convict criminologies. Globalization and organised crime Southern Theory Critical Race Theory Terrorism and State Violence Gender, Feminism and Masculinity Ultra-realism Radical Moral Communitarianism These key issues are discussed in the context of debates about the fragmentation of modernity and the postmodern condition; the rise of political populism; risk, surveillance and social control; and speculation about living in post Covid-19 society and the future of neoliberalism. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to both undergraduate and postgraduate students of criminology, sociology, politics and is essential reading for advanced students of criminology looking for a way to engage with contemporary themes and concepts in theory"-- Provided by publisher.
