Zusatztext "Crime! Critique! and Utopia offers a humanistic utopianism that pushes readers bravely to envision a different future through utopian blueprints! social movements! messianic hope! and the search for radical alternatives. Utopian imagination and praxis are gravely needed in an era of mass incarceration! systemic police violence and militarization! and rapidly increasing inequality. Criminologists should heed this book's highly relevant call to resist positivism! overspecialization! and submission! and Critical Theorists should heed the contribution that critical criminology makes to projects with emancipatory intent and to an interdisciplinary unification of theory and practice." - Joan Braune!

"Crime, Critique, and Utopia offers a humanistic utopianism that pushes readers bravely to envision a different future through utopian blueprints, social movements, messianic hope, and the search for radical alternatives. Utopian imagination and praxis are gravely needed in an era of mass incarceration, systemic police violence and militarization, and rapidly increasing inequality.
