Progressive Justice in an Age of Repression by Walter S Dekeseredy

Progressive Justice in an Age of Repression by Walter S Dekeseredy

The book provides a much-needed engagement with questions of justice and reform and extends criminological analysis by situating these contemporary challenges as globalized and inextricably linked to questions of political economy, law, and society.

"This volume offers sober analysis of the deep socio-political roots triggering today’s repressive crime control policiesThe contributors show the dangers of complacency and the urgent need for progressive resistance. Masterfully edited by Walter DeKeseredy and Elliott Currie, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking guidance on how to advance a more humane justice system within an era defined by the Trump presidency."

Francis T. Cullen, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus, University of Cincinnati

"Reading this book provoked many thoughts about the enormity of the challenges posed across a whole spectrum of crime-related issues. However, it was also a reminder of the expertise and commitment to change that exists in the criminological community. A beacon of light in dark times."

Tony Jefferson, Professor Emeritus, Keele University
