Review Quotes:
Simon Winlow and Roland Atkinson have produced a wonderful, stimulating and hope-bringing collection of papers on leading topics in critical criminology and social theory more generally, from green issues to the fallout from the recent economic and political crises around the world. It is a worthy heir to the celebrated works coming out of the legendary National Deviancy Conferences in the 1970s heyday of critical criminology, and should contribute in a major way to a much needed revival of radical analysis.
Molly Dragiewicz, Associate Professor of Criminology, Ontario University Institute of Technology, Canada.
Today, more than at any time in recent history, we are in need of perspectives that challenge the established ideas of crime and social order. New Directions in Crime and Deviancy should be commended for making a brave attempt at reviving and sustaining criminology's critical imagination.
Katja Franko Aas, Professor of Criminology at the Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law, University of Oslo, Norway.
