Inhaltsangabe

This edited collection articulates a future direction for research at the nexus of criminology and human rights by bringing together experts from different branches of criminology and criminal justice who, while they may be sceptical about certain aspects of human rights theory or practice, share an interest in realising many of the objectives set out in human rights instruments. It argues that critical criminological research has a significant role to play in identifying whether state and state-corporate power is exercised in ways that align with human rights law and principles, although the discipline has been slow to advance this agenda. This book covers a wide array of topics and seeks to develop critical human rights approaches within criminology and criminal justice.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

“A Research Agenda for a Human Rights Centred Criminology makes an excellent contribution to thinking through the complexities and potential interrelationships between human rights and critical criminology. There is an array of approaches in the collection which identify various topics and methods, and mark differing understandings of both criminology and human rights. This collection of essays demonstrates the benefit of and need for more refined and clearly articulated conceptual, methodological and theoretical standpoints.”

 ― Chris Cunneen, Professor of Criminology at Jumbunna Institute, University of Technology Sydney, Australia

“This is a very welcome addition to the academic literature that engages in dialogue across the fields of criminology and human rights. Its many rich and diverse perspectives on a range of subjects are covered deftly by an exceptional collection of authors. The book will undoubtedly stimulate further debate and scholarship on these important topics, exactly as the editors intended.”

 ― Ursula Kilkelly, Professor of Law at University College Cork, Republic of Ireland
