Classic Writings In Anarchist Criminology

Description

Anarchists were among the earliest modern thinkers to offer a systemic

critique of criminal justice and among the first to directly criticize

academic criminology while formulating a critical criminology. They

identified the sources of social problems in social structures and

relations of inequality and recognized that the institutions preferred by

mainstream criminologists as would-be solutions to social problems were

actually the causes or enablers of those harms in the first place. This

volume collects critical writings on criminology from radicals and thinkers

like William Godwin, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikahil Bakunin, Peter

Kropotkin, Lucy Parsons, Emma Goldman, and many others.
