Censure, Politics and Criminal Justice (New Directions in Criminology Series) Book

Criminal justice is examined here as a powerful but contested system of state sanctification and enforcement of dominant social censures. The contributors explore the political and ideological composition of criminal justice and its associated public imagery. They present empirical investigations on the political bias of the magistracy, South African political trials, television images of crime and law enforcement, and press censure of "dissident minorities" and of the suffragette movement. They draw on recent theoretical developments within Marxist criminology and the sociology of law to put forward a modern socialist approach to criminology. They share a commitment to sociological research which is informed by socialist theory and politics but based on empirical enquiry or fieldwork.Read More
